Introduction
Computility Network, Brain of Computility Network, and Computility Grid Integration are new concepts and technical systems pioneered by China Mobile, aimed at exploring the deep integration of Communication Technology (CT) and Information Technology (IT), to provide users with "one-point access, on-demand use" Computility Network services.
Pioneering the Establishment of an Overall Architecture and Technical System for the computility Network
In 2021, China Mobile pioneered the new concept and architecture of the Computility Network and developed the Brain of Computility Network. The Brain of Computility Network serves as the core hub of the Computility Network, managing wide-area Computility Network resources in the southbound direction and supporting Computility Network operations in the northbound direction.
In terms of resource scheduling, the Brain of Computility Network innovates with converged scheduling technology for the Computility Network, based on large-scale management and storage-computation separation technologies, achieving second-level perception and data querying of Computility Network resources. It builds high-performance schedulers that support an average of hundreds of millions of scheduling tasks daily; in terms of capability orchestration, it develops capability gateways based on efficient routing matching algorithms, integrating over 2,200 atomic capabilities of the Computility Network, thereby realizing integrated orchestration of Computility Network resources; in terms of network transmission, it proposes a discrete event simulation engine designed for data, achieving efficient simulation of Computility Network at the level of tens of thousands of nodes and precise fault detection; it constructs ultra-large-scale backbone controllers, combining multi-path load balancing and wide-area high-throughput technology to increase long-distance transmission bandwidth utilization to over 90%; in terms of intelligent capabilities, it builds intelligent capabilities of the Brain of Computility Network centered on interaction entry points, intelligent hubs, and sensing control, achieving intent parsing and intelligent orchestration scheduling based on user business requirements.
China Mobile took the lead in initiating the "Computility Grid Integration Action", developing four technical docking methods operational layer docking, orchestration management layer docking, cloud-native computility management and resource layer computility management. These methods support the unified management of four types of heterogeneous Computility: General Computing, Intelligent Computing, Supercomputing Computing and Quantum Computing. By aggregating social Computility and breaking down information silos, it promotes Computility as a universal social service and empowering various industries.
Developing Task as a Service (TaaS) to Support the construction of computility Service Platforms
Based on the innovative richness and activation efficiency of the Brain of Computility Network, which leads the industry, the converged Computility Network services include East Data West Computing, Data Express, Central Training Edge Inference, among others. These services have been applied across multiple sectors, including healthcare, film and television, and the internet. Data Express provides end-to-end low-latency, highly reliable elastic network services, facilitating the circulation of data elements. For example, East data west Computing services, such as East video West Rendering, leverage the Brain of Computility Network to schedule low-cost Computility resources from Guiyang in the western region to execute rendering tasks originating in the east, reducing overall costs by more than 10%. During the execution of rendering tasks, the Brain of Computility Network continuously monitors the global status and dynamically adjusts resources to ensure task completion.
Meanwhile, the Computility Network Brain supports the planning and construction of multiple regional Computility service platforms, implementing the "four-in-one" integration of General Computing, intelligent Computing, Supercomputing Computing, and Quantum Computing in the Yangtze River Delta Hub Wuhu Cluster Public Computility Service Platform. This effort aims to create a benchmark for Computility scheduling services, assisting in the construction of an integrated Computility network.
Leading the industry in Computility Network Concepts and Technological Innovation, Gaining Widespread Recognition
China Mobile was the first in the industry to propose and develop Computility Network Computility Grid Integration, and Brain of Computility Network, leading the integration and innovative development of the Computility Network industries. It has won over ten awards within the industry, including the 2024 World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Winner Award and the Second Prize of the 2023 China Institute of Communications Science and Technology Award. China Mobile took the lead in initiating and compiling a series of standards including the "General Technical Requirements for Computility Network Operations Management" in the China Communications Standards Association (CCSA). As a primary contributor, it also published the "Basic Capability Requirements for the Brain of Computility Network" series of standards and passed the first batch of qualification evaluations by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT). To date, China Mobile has completed over ten industry standards, over ten corporate standards, published four related white papers, and obtained over twenty authorized patents.
The World Internet Conference (WIC) was established as an international organization on July 12, 2022, headquartered in Beijing, China. It was jointly initiated by Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA), National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT), China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), Alibaba Group, Tencent, and Zhijiang Lab.
