Performance of Huawei’s AI data centre architecture, CloudMatrix 384, illustrates the firm’s progress in overcoming US tech control measures
Huawei expected CloudMatrix “to reshape the foundation of AI infrastructure”, according to the paper released this week. It consists of 384 Ascend 910C neural processing units (NPUs) and 192 Kunpeng server central processing units, which are interconnected through a unified bus providing ultra-high bandwidth and low latency.
Data centres are facilities that house large-capacity servers and data-storage systems, with multiple power sources and high-bandwidth internet connections. More enterprises are using data centres to host or manage computing infrastructure for their AI projects.
