Building technology infrastructure for a digital city
The inevitable trend of modern cities is digital connectivity based on big data.
Ho Chi Minh City should consider investing in a worthy high-performance computing center
Scientists from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology have proposed to build a national high-performance computing center.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thoai Nam, Ho Chi Minh City University of Science and Technology, said that at present, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has grown tremendously with advanced solutions for machine learning (Machine Learning - ML) and deep learning (Deep Learning - DL). The problem of AI in ML and especially DL needs a huge amount of computation because it is based on a multi-level neural network model.
Not only scientific applications, many industrial applications have been growing larger and more complex, but implementing them on ordinary computers is not feasible because of time constraints time, but must use a high-performance computing system (HPC) with strong arithmetical computing capabilities, and at the same time must be strong in processing big data (Big Data).
Vietnam does not yet have a supercomputing/high-performance computing center at the national level. This is a concern when powerful computing systems and large storage combined with broadband network infrastructure are considered important infrastructure in the digital industry.
