Platform For AI:AI computing resources

Last Updated:Apr 17, 2026

If your applications are sensitive to latency and require stable, high-performance resources, use PAI AI computing resources.

Resource types

  • Cloud-native resources

    These resources are primarily used for PAI-DSW, PAI-EAS, and PAI-DLC:

    • General computing resources

      General computing resources, including ECS, ECI, and EGS, provide a flexible, stable, easy-to-use, and high-performance environment for deep learning training. After you activate PAI, the system automatically creates a public resource quota for general computing resources that you can associate with a workspace.

    • Lingjun resources

      Lingjun resources are PAI's computing resources for large-scale deep learning and integrated intelligent computing. Based on hardware-software co-optimization, they provide a high-performance heterogeneous computing foundation. Lingjun resources deliver the high performance, efficiency, and utilization required for high-performance computing. This makes them ideal for development, training, and inference on the PAI platform.

  • Big data engine resources

    These resources are primarily used for PAI-Designer:

    • MaxCompute

      MaxCompute is an enterprise-level Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud data warehouse for data analytics. It provides a fast, fully managed online data warehouse service that eliminates the scalability and elasticity limitations of traditional data platforms. MaxCompute minimizes your O&M costs and lets you process and analyze massive amounts of data cost-effectively. For more information, see What is MaxCompute?.

    • Fully managed Flink resources

      Realtime Compute for Apache Flink is a one-stop, real-time big data analytics platform built on Apache Flink. It offers end-to-end analytics with sub-second latency. For more information, see What is Realtime Compute for Apache Flink?.

Usage

Go to the AI Computing Resources > Resource Pool page to create resource groups of the following types and purchase computing resources:

Then, create a resource quota on the AI Computing Resources > Resource Quota page for efficient resource allocation and management. You can associate this resource quota with a workspace for AI development and training.

  • Cloud-native resource quota

    After you purchase computing resources in the resource pool, you can allocate the resources from one or more resource groups to one or more resource quotas. You can also create a child quota to form a quota tree for enhanced queuing and scheduling.

  • Big data resource quota

    For instructions on activating, purchasing, and using this type of resource quota, see the following topics:
