Huawei eyeing cutting edge in computing

Huawei Technologies Co underlined its long-term commitment to computing on Wednesday, by unveiling the world's fastest artificial intelligence training cluster and its $1.5 billion investment plan to support third-party software and hardware developers.

The move came as Huawei sees computing as a technology of the utmost importance to building a fully connected, intelligent world and it eyes an expanded presence in the computing market which research company Gartner Inc forecast will be worth more than $2 trillion by 2023.

"We believe that connectivity and computing will be woven into the fabric of everything and are worth our continuous investment," said Hu Houkun, rotating chairman of Huawei.
