The computing power industry has received supportive policy measures. Today, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization and the Shanghai Communications Administration jointly issued a "Notice on Organizing the Construction of National Computing Power Interconnection Industry Nodes" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). The Notice aims to enhance the utilization efficiency and service level of public computing power resources and promote the high-quality development of computing power. It states that industry nodes will establish mechanisms for matching computing power supply and demand for Shanghai's key industries. This will enable standardized interconnection and efficient flow of computing power resources across different regions, entities, and architectures within Shanghai, thereby elevating the overall computing power capacity. The industry nodes will construct their own service platforms to provide market-oriented services such as computing power resource aggregation, computing power identification, and computing power selection for intra-industry interconnection, and will connect to regional nodes. These platforms primarily include business and security management systems for computing power internet service centers, computing power resource aggregation, computing power selection, and security assurance.
According to the Notice, the national computing power interconnection system consists of "1" already established and published national computing power internet service node (hereinafter "national node") and "M" regional nodes and "N" industry computing power interconnection nodes (hereinafter "regional nodes" and "industry nodes" respectively). Through six core systems, including the National Computing Power Internet (Regional, Industry) Service Center, the system will realize functions such as computing power resource access to the network and market, identification aggregation, and interconnection scheduling.
Regarding construction goals, the Notice specifies that industry nodes will establish mechanisms for matching computing power supply and demand for Shanghai's key industries. This aims to achieve standardized interconnection and efficient application of computing power resources across different regions, entities, and architectures within Shanghai, thereby enhancing the overall computing power level. In terms of construction content, the Notice proposes that industry nodes build their own service platforms. These platforms will provide market-oriented services like computing power resource aggregation, identification, and selection for intra-industry interconnection and will be connected to regional nodes. The main components include business and security management systems for computing power internet service centers, resource aggregation, selection, and security assurance.
The Notice mentions that computing power interconnection nodes will operate under a mechanism of "unified identification, unified standards, and unified rules." For identification, each node will obtain a unique identification code from the national node to enable computing power resource access to the network and market. Regarding standards, nodes will be constructed according to unified standards and use unified interfaces for interconnection. For rules, various computing power resources will conduct computing power transactions and interconnection scheduling based on unified rules.
Concerning node applications, the Notice clarifies that industry nodes will be applied for by key industry units in Shanghai, recommended by the Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization in conjunction with the Municipal Communications Administration, either individually or as a consortium. In principle, one industry node can be applied for per industry. Applications must specify the construction entity and the operating entity. The construction entity must have a registered capital of no less than 50 million yuan and possess the sustained financial capacity to undertake the project. The operating entity should hold relevant telecommunications business operation licenses (excluding public institutions) and have the necessary premises, equipment, and personnel. It must have no record of major dishonesty in the past three years.
According to Appendix 1 of the Notice, the node construction content includes core systems, participating entities, and workflow. The core systems involve the following six aspects: 1. National Computing Power Internet (Regional, Industry) Service Center (A). Serves as the front-end portal for nodes, providing operational services such as identification registration, computing power transactions, task scheduling, and data distribution. 2. Computing Power Identification Management System (B). Receives registration information from the service center, assigns codes to computing power identifiers according to standards like computing power interconnection, provides identification resolution services, and supports identifier management based on computing power gateways. 3. Computing Power Resource Aggregation System (C). Adapts standard interfaces with computing power resource providers, accesses various computing power resources, manages regional computing power, and achieves awareness of computing power resources across the entire domain through interaction with the national node. 4. Computing Power Selection System (D). Obtains parameters and builds an information database, provides services such as parameter retrieval and recommendation, can connect to data directional transmission services, and supports precise path selection and efficient data transmission. 5. Computing Power Operation Security Monitoring System (E). Real-time acquisition of business information from the computing power resource side, platform side, interconnection scheduling side, and application side through computing power identification gateways to achieve security monitoring of computing power operations. 6. Security Assurance System (F). Constructs a comprehensive security protection system covering network, data, business, and application dimensions, encompassing key aspects such as vulnerability scanning, security control, and risk assessment, to ensure node security comprehensively.
Furthermore, Appendix 1 of the Notice also defines five main participating entities: 1. Computing Power Interconnection Node Entity. Responsible for construction and operation by local enterprises and public institutions, providing overall coordination and scheduling services for computing power interconnection. 2. Computing Power Resource Provider. Entities that provide users with hardware and software computing capabilities such as general computing, intelligent computing, and supercomputing, including internet data center service providers and internet access service providers. 3. Computing Power Resale and Scheduling Service Provider. Entities that provide users with computing power transaction task distribution and execution guarantee services, including cloud service providers, basic telecommunications enterprises, and node operating entities. 4. Computing Power Application Service Provider. Entities that provide users with application services based on encapsulated computing power resources, such as AI applications, scientific computing, computing power cards, cloud phones, and cloud computers, including cloud service providers, basic telecommunications enterprises, and software service providers. 5. Computing Power Dedicated Line Service Provider. Enterprises and public institutions that provide users with computing power dedicated line services like cloud private networks, ensuring efficient scheduling and low-latency connections for computing power resources, including basic telecommunications enterprises and computing power cloud private network operating enterprises.
