[Shenwan Computer] Super nodes drive the penetration rate of domestic AI chips up!

English summary

According to Deepseek interview, at the computing power level, 4 Huawei Ascend 950 chips equal 1 NVIDIA B-series chip, highlighting the cost performance of domestic cards! It also confirms that after the super node form, computing efficiency is further improved. Huawei: the first domestic manufacturer to launch super nodes, showcasing the Ascend 950 super node prototype with 1024 NPU cards interconnected at high speed, FP8 computing power of 1 EFLOPS, FP4 computing power of 2 EFLOPS, 256TB global unified memory, and 3-microsecond ultra-low latency. The full configuration can be expanded to 8192 cards. The Ascend 384 super node has been deployed in more than 750 sets, and it is the only super node in China that has trained SOTA models. Hygon Information: scaleX640 is the world's first super node integrating 640 acceleration cards in a single cabinet, with total computing power exceeding 600 PFLOPS per cabinet; scaleX40 is the world's first cable-free box-type super node, reducing deployment time from months to hours. Biren Technology: "optical interconnection" overtaking on a curve. ...
