【Shanghai Issues Intelligent Manufacturing Action Plan to Accelerate Breakthroughs in AI High-Performance Chips】

The Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization issued the "Shanghai Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of New-Generation Intelligent Manufacturing." The plan proposes consolidating industrial network and computing infrastructure, supporting manufacturing enterprises in carrying out new industrial network upgrades, promoting the integrated evolution of control systems, industrial networks, and computing facilities, and advancing pilot programs for industrial 5G/EUHT independent private networks. The plan also proposes supporting the deployment of 5G-A, -gigabit optical networks, and other high-quality networks, accelerating breakthroughs in AI high-performance chips, and accelerating the development of a "hub-regional-edge" computing infrastructure system. It will also strengthen the coordinated scheduling of intelligent computing resources, accelerate the development of national computing interconnection nodes, promote standardized access to and on-demand use of computing resources, and advance an action to provide broadly accessible computing services, thereby improving the performance and efficiency of industrial intelligent computing cloud platforms.
