On the afternoon of October 21, 2023, China Bester Wudang Intelligent Computing Cluster was launched in Wudang Cloud Valley, Danjiangkou City. Shi Yijun, Deputy General Manager of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Hanjiang Group, Song Yong, Director of the Standing Committee of Danjiangkou Municipal People's Congress, and Rao Yougen, Technical Director of China Bester Group, attended the launch ceremony and delivered their speeches.

Launch Ceremony of China Bester Group-Wudang Intelligent Computing Cluster

Wudang Yungu, adjacent to the source of the South-to-North Water diversion project-the Danjiangkou hydro-junction, was jointly funded by Hanjiang Group and Shiyan State-Owned Capital Investment And Operation Group. Using the deep cold water of Danjiangkou reservoir to cool the data center room, it obtains the advantages including 100% clean electricity and the overall energy consumption rate can be less than 1.2. It has won the award of "Green Computing Data Center" in the China IDC industry in 2022.

In August 2023, China Bester and Hanjiang Group signed a strategic agreement to cooperate in the fields of computing services, ICT and digital business, distributed photovoltaic power generation and energy storage construction. Under the guidance of the senior leaders of the two sides, the counterpart departments has actively promoted the cooperation. Since the arrival of the  first batch of equipment before the National Day holiday, the two sides have been cooperating closely and cohering to ensure the punctual launch of China Bester Group-Wudang Intelligent Computing Cluster

China Bester Wudang Intelligent Computing Cluster launched 90 GPU servers in the first phase, with 8-card GPU modules. Each server provides four IB (infiniband) network adapters of 200G to access to the IB computing network and one IB network adapter of 200G to access to the IB storage network, providing computing power 450P Flops@FP16. The cluster is equipped with full flash storage (NVMe U.2 solid state drive). Its initial storage capacity exceeds 1PB, which will be smoothly expanded with the progress of the customer's large model training later. The computing power cluster can provide computing power services to users in the form of Bare Machine or single card

China Bester Wudang Intelligent Computing Cluster adopts mainstream software stack and containerized scheduling management, which can meet the needs of large-scale parallel computing, and is used to build and train complex deep learning models, support mainstream deep learning models such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet and convolutional neural network (CNN) models. In the field of speech recognition, it can handle speech recognition models such as LSTM networks.

 Inauguration of China Bester Wudang Intelligent Computing Cluster

The official launch of China Bester Wudang Intelligent Computing Cluster marks that China Bester’s intelligent computing business has officially entered the commercial stage. It is an important milestone in the development of China Bester's intelligent computing business and has laid a solid foundation for the future development of China Bester's computing power. Subsequently, China Bester Qinghai Three River Source Computing Cluster (Phase I: 64 units) and China Bester Nanjing Yangtze River Delta computing cluster (Phase I: 96 units) are also stepping up commissioning, and will be put into operation at the end of this month or early next month.
