The vast grasslands described in ancient poetry, where "the sky is boundless, the plains endless, and cattle and sheep appear when wind bends the grass low," harmoniously blend with the development philosophy of "clear waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" in Ordos. From August 13-16, the 21st National High Performance Computing Academic Conference (HPC China 2025) held at the Ordos International Convention and Exhibition Center witnessed the collision and fusion of the grassland's vastness with computing power's momentum, nature's gifts with technological breakthroughs, writing a new chapter of coexistence and prosperity between natural endowments and digital revolution in the digital intelligence era.

As one of the world's three major supercomputing events, this conference adopted the theme "Green Computing Power and Super Intelligence Integration," closely following current industry trends and technological hotspots. The event maintained and highlighted the characteristics of "academic leadership and industrial integration," gathering numerous invited guests, including 11 academicians on-site, along with Gordon Bell Prize winners, authoritative experts, senior scholars, and industry elites. The conference constructed a high-performance computing exchange platform integrating technical discussions, achievement exhibitions, and ecosystem connections.

The conference was hosted by the China Computer Federation, co-organized by the High Performance Computing Professional Committee of the China Computer Federation, Ordos University of Applied Technology, and Ordos High-tech Industry Investment Co., Ltd., with Beijing Paratera Co., Ltd. as co-organizer. Targeting audiences from research, education, enterprises, institutions, and various other industries, the event aimed to gather wisdom from academia and industry, demonstrate national strategic value, and explore realization paths for creating a new landscape of high-quality development in high performance computing through cross-disciplinary breakthroughs and staged learning.

Over 100 well-known media outlets provided comprehensive coverage of the conference. This year's conference registered over 3,300 participants, with 71 vendors exhibiting, setting a historical record.

**Intelligence-Led Industrial Renaissance**

Under the guidance of the "Digital China" strategy, high-performance computing academic research and industrial expansion are experiencing unprecedented horizontal breakthroughs. Academic research paradigms are shifting from single computing power indicators toward balanced four-dimensional design encompassing efficiency, exclusivity, precision, and interpretability, while industrial expansion methods are also evolving.

Professor Guan Haibing, Chairman of the High Performance Computing Professional Committee, hosted the conference opening ceremony. Conference Chairman Mo Zeyao from the China Academy of Engineering Physics stated in his address: "Currently, high-performance computing is entering the 'deep waters' of intelligence-computing integration. We face both hardcore challenges like efficiency and systematic issues such as weak software and regional development imbalances, urgently requiring cross-disciplinary innovation in digitization and intelligence. The solution lies in national coordination, consolidating computing power islands, disciplinary islands, and application islands into an innovation continent, achieving collaborative sharing and inclusive integration of computing power, data, models, software, applications, and other resources."

Yu Haiyu, Deputy Secretary of Ordos Municipal Committee and Mayor, emphasized in his remarks the city's active integration into national "East Data, West Computing" policies and vigorous cultivation of new productive forces including digital economy and computing power industry. The city aims to leverage this conference to promote high-quality development of computing power industry, build a national green computing power base, and explore new paths for coordinated development of green intelligent grids and intelligent computing power.

Sun Ninghui, Chairman of the China Computer Federation, noted the conference's consistently high academic standards and growing influence in enterprises, industry applications, and society. He expressed satisfaction that computing power could better integrate with Ordos' energy industry and play an active role in building new infrastructure for the intelligent era.

**Ecosystem Foundation and Standards Leadership**

Ordos High-tech Zone has introduced over 20 high-end algorithm projects including Baidu, with various computing power technologies and data application explorations helping the zone capture commanding heights in intelligent computing power, large models, and data training. Zhang Pengcheng, Deputy Secretary and Director of Ordos High-tech Zone Party Working Committee, outlined efforts to create a first-class computing power industry business environment and promote coordinated development of data, computing, and electricity.

Against the backdrop of rapid intelligent computing development, the domestic High-Throughput Ethernet Alliance, jointly established by Alibaba Cloud and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, released several important achievements at the conference, including domestic chip implementations and new network architectures designed specifically for intelligent computing scenarios.

The conference also officially released China's first industry standard "Requirements for Super Intelligence Integration Cluster Capabilities," systematically constructing a capability system covering architecture design, functional performance, security trustworthiness, and evaluation methods.

**Super Engine and Architecture Innovation**

Professor Lu Kai, Vice Chairman of the High Performance Computing Professional Committee, moderated the conference report session. Sun Ninghui delivered a keynote on "AI-Enabled Scientific Discovery," highlighting how AI for Science (AI4S) as a frontier interdisciplinary field combining high-performance computing and artificial intelligence is profoundly changing scientific research paradigms.

Professor Lu Yutong from Sun Yat-sen University and Director of National Supercomputing Centers in Guangzhou and Shenzhen presented "Evolution of Large-scale Supercomputing System Technology and Application Ecosystem Construction," analyzing technical challenges in computing architecture evolution and calling for building domestic next-generation supercomputing systems with focus on ultimate performance, energy efficiency, and autonomous control.

Li Liu, President Assistant and General Manager of High Performance Computing Product Division at Sugon, delivered "Development and Challenges of Intelligent Supercomputing Systems," noting that the large model era has driven profound changes in high-performance computing applications, with AI training becoming one of the most important mainstream applications.

**Continuous Exploration and Future Inspiration**

Wu Yueliang from the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, presented "Inspirations from Super Unified Field Theory: From Quantum Cosmic Physics Computing to Universe as Quantum Computer," exploring how viewing the universe as a super quantum computer evolved by quantum information dynamics provides quantum information dynamics understanding of nature's basic building blocks and fundamental interactions.

Professor Lu Xicheng from National University of Defense Technology discussed future supercomputing development directions, emphasizing the need for architecture optimization design targeting application characteristics and achieving hardware-software collaboration for balanced configuration and better heterogeneous acceleration.
