One of Asia’s largest AI data centres opens in Shanghai
The Lin-gang Free Trade Zone in Shanghai is now home to one of Asia’s largest AI data centre. The facility sits in a total area of 130,000 square metres, and holds 5,000 computer racks. The infrastructure, built with USD 880 million worth of investments, has a designed computing capacity of 3.74 exaFLOPS. Thanks to the data centre’s ultra speed, it can train AI models with 100 billion parameters. “Industries like bio-medicines and physics need AI to help them explore the next step. We have already cooperated with the National Center for Protein Science to help them on their research and development,” said Yang Fan, co-founder and vice president of SenseTime.The AI data centre is poised to cut down line loss rate by 50 percent and save approximately 45 million kilowatt-hours of power annually. Large-scale AI data centres are crucial to China’s self-design abilities in the AI ​​industry. A China Academy of Sciences report predicts the value of the country’s core AI industry will hit USD 63 billion by the end of 2025.
