Atlas 900 stood out with its world-leading AI computing power, ultimate heat dissipation system, and best-in-class cluster network. Atlas 900 accelerates global basic AI research and quickly brings AI applications to industries to advance the AI era with unparalleled AI computing power. Innovative technology has propelled the mobile industry far beyond the wildest expectations of early tech pioneers. GSMA awards the GLOMO Award – Tech of the Future Award to recognize technology that is ahead of its time and reshapes the world. Atlas 900 is the world's fastest AI training cluster.

Huawei developed World's fastest AI training cluster. For Huawei, who previously listed 33 US companies as core suppliers for chips and processors, a ban on purchasing US goods was expected to take a hit on R&D at a crucial time. Several analysts predict the counter effect of this move is Huawei's redoubled effort to be technologically self-reliant, and a recent'AI breakthrough' might provide further backing for those comments. Huawei claimed to have developed the world's fastest artificial intelligence (AI) training cluster--Atlas 900. Atlas 900, dubbed the "fastest AI training model", combines "the power of 1, 024 Ascend 910 AI chips and has a computing capability as strong as the aggregation of 500, 000 personal computers," as reported in CCTV. At Huawei Connect 2019, the electronics maker said; "it takes Atlas 900 only 59.8 seconds to train ResNet-50, the gold standard for measuring AI training performance.

Huawei and Peng Cheng Laboratory (PCL) have jointly released Peng Cheng Cloud Brain II Phase 1, officially launching the journey to AI clusters at 1000 petaFLOPS (PFLOPS) scale. This marks a new milestone in the scientific research field for the Kunpeng computing industry. Running at the bedrock of Cloud Brain II is the Huawei Atlas 900 AI cluster, powered by the Huawei Kunpeng and Ascend processors. The computing power of Peng Cheng Cloud Brain is currently 100 PFLOPS, planned to scale to 1000 PFLOPS and higher next year. "This September, Huawei embarked on the Kunpeng Ascend dual-engine computing strategy. Inspired by this strategy, we are committed to providing the ultimate computing power to the world. We also released Atlas 900, the world's fastest AI training cluster," said Hou Jinlong, Senior VP of Huawei, and President of Huawei Cloud & AI Products and Services.

This program unlocks a new chapter for the computing industry in Europe. According to Jiang Tao, VP of Intelligent Computing BU, "Huawei is committed to investing in the AI computing industry in Europe, enabling enterprises and individual developers to leverage the Ascend AI series products for technological and business innovation. Over the next 5 years, Huawei plans to invest 100 million euros in the AI Ecosystem Program in Europe, helping industry organizations, 200,000 developers, 500 ISV partners, and 50 universities and research institutes to boost innovation." First, Huawei will work with partners to shape the AI industry in Europe. Second, Huawei will develop joint solutions with ISV partners.

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) has a celestial ambition. The project aims to discover the origins of the universe through the lens of the world's largest radio telescope. The telescope will search outer space for signals travelling through the cosmos and could reveal how the first stars and galaxies were formed after the big bang and the nature of the mysterious force of dark energy. It may even answer the question that humans have pondered since the dawn of civilisation: are we alone in the universe? It will also provide the scientific foundations for more practical applications.
