AI Weather Forecasting Solution

Based on Pangu-Weather, the first AI model to outperform conventional NWP methods in terms of accuracy for short and medium-range weather forecasts, Huawei has built a cloud-based AI weather forecasting solution powered by high-precision Atlas compute clusters. Integrated training and inference are supported. Furthermore, Huawei has developed an ensemble forecast solution powered by large AI models. This solution supports customized AI applications for short and medium-range weather forecasts for weather service agencies as well as enterprises, for example, km-level weather forecasts for specified regions and areas.

AI algorithm innovations include: 1) 3D Earth-specific transformer (3DEST), which is better at processing spatially uneven 3D meteorological data and can learn weather patterns more quickly and accurately. 2) Hierarchical temporal aggregation, which involves training a series of models with increasing forecast lead times. This reduces the number of iterations needed to generate a longer-range forecast, hence the cumulative errors that would result from these iterations.

Accurate

• In upper-air forecasting, Pangu-Weather has 10%+ lower RMSEs than the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (IFS).
• Pangu-Weather can generate kilometer-level high resolution forecasts for specified regions.

Fast

• Pangu-Weather can generate a 7-day global weather forecast with a horizontal resolution of 25 km in 10 seconds.
• It can generate an ensemble forecast with over 1,000 members.

Cost-effective

Pangu-Weather can generate a weather forecast within seconds using a few Atlas servers.，with which an ensemble forecast with over 1,000 members is also achievable.

OceanStor A800 High-Performance AI Knowledge Repository Storage

Large AI model parameters have grown exponentially in scale, from the hundreds of billions to trillions. Training sets have also evolved from unimodal to multi-modal (images, videos, etc.) paradigms, resulting in a data explosion that has increased volumes by thousands, and brought unprecedented challenges.
First, poor loading performance among massive numbers of small files has undermined training efficiency.
Second, large model parameters are frequently being optimized, which has led to unstable training platforms, with service interruptions occurring every two days on average, and frequent, time-consuming read and write of TB-level checkpoints.
Third, training 100-billion-parameter models requires massive GPU resources, since individual GPUs are not efficient enough, and ensuring millisecond-level real-time inference for conversational applications is quite challenging.

OceanStor A800 delivers a staggering 24 million IOPS and 500 GB/s bandwidth within a single controller enclosure, serving as the high-performance AI knowledge repository storage solution. With four times the performance of the next runner-up, a single storage system is all you need for small file loading of training sets and high-bandwidth-based resumable training.
