【Smart CityOnline Brand Column】Currently, the parameter scale of AI large-scale models and the density of computing power clusters are exponentially increasing, and the structural contradiction between high-end chip supply and industrial computing power demand is becoming increasingly prominent. The shift from "chip assembly process" to "strong system collaboration" is becoming a key new path for China's computing industry to break through bottlenecks and achieve independent controllability.
Recently, Shuguang Shuchuang officially released the world's first MW level phase-change immersion liquid cooled complete cabinet and its overall infrastructure solution (C8000 3.0), which breaks through the reconstruction of computing power base logic with extreme heat dissipation and efficient power supply, providing safer, greener, and more efficient domestic support for the new industrialization and artificial intelligence industries.
Key breakthrough in MW level infrastructure, measured to improve system computing performance by 10%
With the continuous evolution of intelligent computing centers towards high density and high power consumption, the power demand for single cabinet has risen to several hundred kilowatts, and traditional heat dissipation solutions are gradually approaching physical limits, becoming a key bottleneck restricting the improvement of computing power. Zhang Peng, Senior Vice President of Shuguang Shuchuang, introduced that in the face of common industry problems, C8000 3.0 has achieved multiple core technological breakthroughs and comprehensively reconstructed the cooling and power supply paths of intelligent computing infrastructure.
This scheme adopts self-developed immersion phase change liquid cooling heat exchange technology, immersing the heating components in insulating refrigerant and relying on the refrigerant to achieve rapid heat dissipation through phase change, with a heat dissipation capacity of over 200W/cm ². The power of a single cabinet can exceed 900kW, reaching the MW level and meeting Nvidia's 2028 Feynman architecture technical specifications ahead of schedule.
Huang Yuanfeng, a senior technical expert at Shuguang Shuchuang, introduced that this project is the first to apply diamond copper composite materials on a large scale. Compared with conventional materials, the thermal conductivity is significantly improved. Combined with millisecond level precise temperature control, it can effectively reduce the operating temperature of chips, reduce frequency fluctuations and performance losses. Under the premise of unchanged chip hardware specifications, this solution can achieve a 10% improvement in the measured system computing performance, even surpassing the international mainstream level in high-density cluster scenarios.
Zhang Peng introduced that high-voltage direct current technology can respond to dynamic load fluctuations during large model training. At present, this scheme has been applied to the Zhongke Dawning scaleX ten thousand card super cluster, and has achieved large-scale trial operation in the core nodes of the national supercomputing Internet, with outstanding performance in improving computing power, reducing energy consumption and stable operation.
Differences in computing power development models and China's advantages in infrastructure achievements
Currently, the competition in the global intelligent computing industry has evolved from a single chip competition to a comprehensive competition of technology routes, industrial ecology, and infrastructure. Taking China and the United States as examples, the two countries have gradually formed a differentiated development paradigm. Industry insiders have stated that the United States, with technology giants such as NVIDIA and Google at its core, adopts a "point to area" development model, focusing on achieving ultimate breakthroughs in high-end chip performance. The supporting infrastructure mainly serves the release of chip efficiency, presenting the overall characteristics of "leading technology at a single point and relatively closed ecology".
China, on the other hand, relies on a complete electronic information and computing power industry chain and follows a development path of collaborative research and cluster scale, emphasizing the support and amplification role of infrastructure in the overall computing power system. In terms of intelligent computing infrastructure layout, China is driven by the national project of "East Data West Computing", promoting large-scale, intensive, and networked construction, and being more forward-looking and proactive in cluster scale, deployment density, and coverage.
There are significant differences in the role played by intelligent computing infrastructure in the development path of computing power between China and the United States. Compared to the United States' adaptation and optimization around high-end chips, the significance of intelligent computing infrastructure for China is more special - due to the difficulty in quickly bridging the gap in chip manufacturing processes at the current stage, China has turned to seek breakthroughs through the clustering and scale development of computing power. In this process, it is even more necessary to support the operational efficiency and stability of large-scale computing power clusters through infrastructure innovation. In this context, the breakthrough of Shuguang Shuchuang sends a clear signal: the strategic path from "core based" to "base based strong computing" is feasible.
Looking at the world, China's computing infrastructure construction is faster, larger in scale, and has more diverse landing scenarios, forming unique technological and industrial advantages on a global scale. As a leading enterprise in the field of liquid cooled intelligent computing in China, Shuguang Shuchuang, represented by MW level infrastructure solutions, has become a typical example of independent innovation in domestic computing infrastructure.
Without technical barriers, solidify the foundation of next-generation intelligent computing through collaborative ecology
Unlike international leading companies that isolate their core technologies as their own competitive barriers, Shuguang Shuchuang adheres to the concept of open collaboration, not limiting its top-level technological capabilities to itself or related systems, but opening up and sharing them with the entire industry.
Zhang Peng stressed that they rely on the MW level immersion phase change liquid cooling infrastructure open laboratory to open core technology, test environment and engineering experience to many domestic chip enterprises, complete machine manufacturers, IDC operators and other industrial chain partners, jointly carry out chip adaptation, complete machine integration, scene verification and other work, and promote the key technologies such as phase change liquid cooling, diamond heat dissipation to sink into multiple scenarios such as industrial intelligent computing, edge computing, and on-board intelligent computing.
In addition, the enterprise actively takes the lead in participating in the formulation of national standards for liquid cooling by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Standards Committee, and jointly builds a standardized system for technical interfaces, safety certification, performance evaluation, etc. in the industrial chain. At the same time, it opens up core designs such as self-developed refrigerants, CDU units, and cabinet structures to reduce industry technology barriers and application costs. Through the model of technology openness, standard co construction, and scenario co research, Shuguang Digital Innovation breaks through technological silos, drives the deep integration of domestic chips and liquid cooling infrastructure, and forms an integrated solution of chips, liquid cooling, complete machines, and data centers. This open and win-win development model not only accelerates the large-scale implementation of liquid cooling technology, but also provides support for the domestic computing power industry to embark on an independent and controllable path.
From pursuing chip manufacturing processes to strengthening infrastructure and enhancing overall strength, Chinese enterprises represented by Shuguang Shuchuang are forging a unique path of intelligent computing development, accumulating replicable technological solutions and industrial practices for the independent, controllable, green, and efficient development of the computing industry.
