What’s New: At the Baidu* 2018 ABC Summit in Shanghai,
Baidu and Intel outlined new artificial intelligence (AI)
collaborations showcasing applications ranging from financial
services and shipping to video content detection. Specifically,
Baidu Cloud* is leveraging Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and the
Intel® Math Kernel Library-Deep Neural Network (Intel® MKL-DNN) as
part of a new financial services solution for leading China banks;
the Intel OpenVINO toolkit in new AI edge distribution and video
solutions; and Intel® Optane™ technology and Intel QLC NAND SSD
technology for enhanced object storage.
“Intel is collaborating with Baidu Cloud to
deliver end-to-end AI solutions. Adopting a new chip or optimizing
a single framework is not enough to meet the demands of new AI
workloads. What’s required is systems-level integration with
software optimization, and Intel is enabling this through our
expertise and extensive portfolio of AI technologies – all in the
name of helping our customers achieve their AI goals.”-- Raejeanne
Skillern, Intel vice president, Data Center Group, and general
manager, Cloud Service Provider Platform Group
How Intel Processors Help in Finance: Baidu is deploying
advanced private financial clouds for customers including China
Union Pay*, AI Bank* and the Agricultural Bank of China*. The
financial clouds run on Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the
Intel MKL-DNN library to meet the performance and security
requirements of financial services companies.
How Intel AI Helps in Shipping: Baidu Cloud wanted to
help companies monitor trucks in real time by increasing efficiency
of edge devices to improve shipping operations and report back to
the central office on outstanding events. For edge computing, Intel
supported Baidu Cloud in implementing an AI video analysis system
to accelerate the development of vision applications. For example,
it was difficult to monitor municipal service trucks, even if they
were equipped with a video recording device because the recordings
could only be reviewed afterward. With the OpenVINO™ toolkit, Baidu
Cloud is able to deploy a powerful AI video analysis system
equipped with a camera that detects and instantly reports any
unusual incidents (such as waste falling from a truck) through a
wireless connection.
How Intel Helps Speed Video Processing: Baidu Cloud
sought to bolster its video processing services to better support
iQiyi*, the Chinese equivalent of Netflix*. iQiyi adopted the
OpenVINO toolkit to detect videos that violate the content rules
and achieved performance improvements on the existing platform, and
an extra performance improvement on Baidu Cloud powered by Intel
Xeon Scalable processors.
How Intel Storage Helps with AI Training: Baidu Cloud and
Intel set out to develop a new AI storage solution that better
meets requirements for performance, size and cost given the large
amount of data generated by AI training. By leveraging both Intel
Optane technology and Intel QLC Technology, Baidu Cloud is tackling
the challenges posed by the massive generation of data and related
performance, size and cost requirements.
Why It’s Important: Intel is continuously pushing the
boundaries of AI through performance-leading products and broad
ecosystem collaboration, all in an effort to unleash the power of
data. Since no single hardware or framework meets the diversified
requirements of all possible AI solutions and each customer faces
different scenarios with different workloads, Intel is investing in
a holistic approach to AI and developing unique solutions for
customers across central processing units, storage and the network.
Building on its strong partnership with Baidu Cloud, Intel will
continue to accelerate AI breakthroughs and implementations –
leveraging AI to solve real problems and eventually turning AI
concepts into reality.
