Huawei Unveils New UnifiedBus Computing Architecture for SuperPoDs and Clusters

SHANGHAI , Sept. 21, 2026 -- In a keynote speech on computing architecture innovation at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Yang Chaobin, Huawei s Executive Director of the Board and CEO of the ICT Business Group, unveiled new details about the UnifiedBus interconnect architecture, announced a series of computing products based on this architecture, and explained how the company has collaborated with open-source communities to enable application innovation by customers, partners, and developers. In a traditional computing architecture, resource utilization declines as a cluster scales. As little as 20% of a 100,000-NPU cluster s computing capacity is actually utilized by models, with a vast amount of compute sitting idle during data communications. A 10 trillion-parameter model, which requires massive amounts of intermediate data to train, far exceeds the capacity of the memory on a single accelerator under traditional architectures. Interconnection and communications between components within a cluster have become a key performance bottleneck for computing systems.

The Industrial Workforce Is Changing: Skills for the Next Generation of Manufacturing

Manufacturing work is changing as automation, digital systems and increasingly sophisticated equipment become part of everyday industrial operations. Traditional technical knowledge remains essential, but it is being complemented by new requirements in data, software, diagnostics and integrated production systems. This edition examines the changing industrial workforce, the skills manufacturers increasingly require and the importance of training, reskilling and knowledge transfer as factories combine experienced people with new technologies and evolving methods of production.

Editor's Note

Technology changes factories, but people determine how effectively those technologies are applied. As industrial roles evolve, manufacturers need to think carefully about skills, training and the transfer of practical knowledge between generations. This edition examines the workforce dimension of industrial transformation and why developing technical capability must remain a central part of investment in automation, digitalisation and advanced manufacturing.
