싱가포르 AI 컴퓨팅 파워 및 국가 클라우드 계획
의원이 싱가포르의 기존 AI 전용 컴퓨팅 파워 규모, 국가 클라우드 건설 계획 및 관련 법적 프레임워크에 관해 질문했습니다. 정부는 싱가포르의 데이터 센터 용량이 지역을 선도하고 있으며 AI 컴퓨팅 파워가 동적으로 배정되고 국가 슈퍼컴퓨팅 센터와 상용 클라우드를 바탕으로 수요를 충족하고 있다고 대응했으며, 현재로서는 민간 데이터 센터에 컴퓨팅 파워 기여를 강제하지 않고 있습니다. 핵심 논쟁은 민간 부문의 국가 클라우드 건설 참여를 입법으로 강제해야 하는지 여부에 있습니다.
핵심 요점
- • Leading data centre capacity
- • Dynamically allocated AI compute
- • No mandatory private contribution
다양한 자원을 바탕으로 AI 컴퓨팅 파워 수요 충족
국가 클라우드 컴퓨팅 파워 보장 및 법적 프레임워크에 관심
고성능 컴퓨팅이 AI 발전을 지원하도록 추진

22 Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Digital Development and Information (a) what is the estimated total of AI-specific computing power currently available in Singapore's data centres; (b) whether there are plans to establish a national cloud for AI research and education; (c) if so, what percentage of this computing power does it aim to secure; (d) what legal frameworks are being considered to mandate contributions from private AI data centres to such a national cloud; and (e) how do these potential frameworks compare to those in other leading AI nations.
Mrs Josephine Teo : Singapore is a regional data centre hub with a total capacity exceeding 1.4 gigawatts. We have one of the highest concentrations of data centres in the region and our operational data centre capacity per capita exceeds that of regional markets, such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul, Sydney and Tokyo. To support continued growth and innovation in Singapore, we aim to provide at least 300 megawatts of additional capacity in the near term and more through working with the industry to explore green energy deployments. The amount of AI-specific compute resources available in these data centres depends on the workloads that the private and public sectors expect to process and how these workloads are distributed. It changes dynamically in response to needs and available alternatives.
Our compute needs for AI research are being met through a combination of on-premise and commercial cloud capacities. This approach is more responsive to demand than mandating contributions from private data centres.
The National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) is a significant contributor to the compute resources available for our research ecosystem, including for AI research. The launch of the ASPIRE 2A and 2A+ research supercomputers in October 2024, which have 30 PFLOPS of aggregated compute power, will help to address the growing demand for high performance computing resources, complement existing infrastructure and enable new research opportunities. NSCC is also developing the next supercomputer that will enhance Singapore's high performance computing capabilities to support national research initiatives.
Developing Singapore's compute infrastructure is vital to support our National AI Strategy 2.0 ambitions. We are actively working with industry partners to avail access to the compute resources needed to maintain our global competitiveness.
