They jointly discussed the cutting - edge development of the industry, showcased innovative achievements, and contributed to the prosperous development of the global computing industry.
Hong Mei, Adviser of Gcc Board of Directors and Academician of the Chinese Academy of sciences, reviewed the establishment and growth of GCC in his speech. He expressed full confidence in its future development, firmly believing that GCC is bound to play a crucial role in promoting the development of global computing technology and the industrial ecosystem.
Hai Jin, Chair of GCC Board of Directors,Professor of Huazhong University of science and TechnologyDoctoral supervisor, Changjiang Scholar Distinguished Professor, stated in his speech that GCC will collaborate with global industry partners to promote consensus on new architectures, build new standards, and facilitate the development of new ecosystems, thus reshaping the global computing industry landscape.
At the conference, GCC announced the invitation of Wen Gao, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, to serve as Chair of GCC Strategic Advisory Committee (SAC).As an advisory organization to the GCC Consortium, the "Strategic Advisory Committee (SAC)" aims to gather the world's top - level wisdom, provide high - end, professional, and forward - looking strategic guidance for the development of GCC, and promote the innovation and sustainable development of the global computing industry.
Wen Gao, a Chair of GCC Strategic Advisory Committee (SAC)and an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out in his speech that computing power is currently in the best period of opportunity in history. While computing power represents productivity, the "computing power network", as a powerful tool, can efficiently unblock and dispatch computing power resources through the computing power network, standardize various criteria, reduce waste, and ensure the rapid absorption of computing power.
As China's first international industry and standards organization in the computing field, since its official registration and establishment on June 26, 2024, the GCC has been guided by the vision of "Empowering the digital and intelligent society through state - of - the - art computing". Upholding the values of "Openness, Innovation, Collaboration, and Win - Win", it is committed to promoting the open innovation of the computing industry, building a robust and prosperous ecosystem, and supporting the sustainable development of the digital and intelligent society. A grand GCC founding celebration ceremony was held at the conference. Representatives from the GCC Board
, government departments, global industry partners, and member units jointly participated in and witnessed the official founding of the GCC, embracing this significant moment for the global computing industry.
During the conference, industry experts, business leaders, and ecological partners from the global computing field delivered exciting speeches and sharing throughout the day. Centering around the theme of "Empowering the digital and intelligent society through state - of - the - art computing", they actively provided suggestions and advice to accelerate the prosperity of the computing industry ecosystem.
Guanglu Shao, Director of the Science and Technology Committee of China Telecom, deeply analyzed four development trends of computing power technologies in his keynote speech titled "Digital & Intelligent Driving, Open Sharing for High-Quality Development of the Computing Industry". These trends include the equalization of the persity of computing power architectures, the coordination of computing power resources, the globalization of security capabilities, and the greening of computing power energy efficiency.
Alan PENG, Board Director and Secretary-General of GCC
, elaborated on the vision of GCC, China's first international industry and standards organization in the computing field, as well as the main work since its establishment and the future strategic layout in the keynote speech "Empowering the Digital and Intelligent Society through State-of-the-Art Computing" at the conference.
Today, as technology is driving profound changes in the world, the development of the times eagerly calls for new computing architectures, advanced technologies, and broader cooperation. The development of the industry also urgently requires the integration of resources, sharing of experiences, and joint efforts to achieve mutual benefits. During this conference, GCC held strategic cooperation signing ceremonies with three outstanding industry partners, namely the Open Edge and HPC Initiative (OEHI), the China Electronics Standardization Association (CESA), and the High-Performance Chip Interconnection Alliance of Zhongguancun (HiPi).
Since its official establishment half a year ago, GCC has achieved remarkable results. During this conference, a number of significant achievements were splendidly presented.
To pool the world's top technological wisdom, the "Technical Committee (TC)" established by GCC will be responsible for building technical consensus and managing the technical system of the consortium, guiding the development direction of technology and the industry. At the conference site, the lineup of the Technical Committee (TC) of GCC composed of many technical experts from the industry was announced, and a letter of appointment awarding ceremony was held.
Under the rigorous review and meticulous preparation of the GCC Board , GCC has successfully established six branch organizations, including the Green Computing Development Group (GC DG), the Edge Computing Development Group (EC DG), the Confidential Computing Special Interest Group (CC SIG), the Open-Cool Special Interest Group (OC SIG), the New BIOS Special Interest Group (BIOS SIG), and the Energy Saving and Decarbonization Special Interest Group（ESD SIG）.In the future, each branch organization will base itself on its own professional field and jointly promote the global computing industry to new heights.
During the conference, GCC grandly held The Release Ceremony of the 2024 Series of Achievements, releasing a number of high - quality achievements, including Research Report on the Graphical Processing Unit Industry, Technical specification for cold plate liquid cooling rack - scale server, Research Report on the Development of Liquid - cooling Quick Disconnect Blind - mate, Confidential Computing White Paper (2024), Green Computing Industry Development White Paper (2024), and Case Collection of GMVPS 2024.
In addition, during the rich all - day agenda, this conference has specially invited high-profile guests from home and abroad, including OEHI, China Telecom, CESI, ARM CHINA, HUAWEI, Douyin Group, iSoftStone, China Information Industry Association, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, KylinSoft, VastData, China Mobile, CFCA, XFusion,SIEMENS AG,Huakun Zhenyu,etc.They shared wonderful and highly valuable insights on how to pool industry resources, promote persified technological innovation, and drive the construction of the computing power application industry ecosystem.
The great success of the conference has enabled the industry to witness the strong driving force behind the vigorous development of GCC. It has also jointly explored the infinite potential of the future of the computing industry. Standing at a new starting point for the global industry, this is just the beginning. In the future, the GCC will continue to make efforts to help accelerate the prosperity of the global computing industry and contribute significantly to the development of the global digital and intelligent society.Welcome more global partners to join the GCC.
