Today, at the 2024 Huawei Developer Conference, Gong Ti, President of the Software Dept. of Huawei Device BG, delivered a speech that attracted wide attention from the global technology community. He announced that after 10 years of hard work, HarmonyOS has surpassed Linux in kernel technology, which is undoubtedly a major breakthrough in the operating system software market dominated by Europe and the United States for a long time.
HarmonyOS breaks the cocoon: Huawei shapes a new era of operating systems
Gong Ti's remarks provide a new perspective for the positioning and development path of the HarmonyOS operating system. He made it clear that "HarmonyOS is by no means a replacement for Android or Linux, and the development of HarmonyOS is by no means a re-writing of code." This statement not only clarifies the uniqueness of the HarmonyOS operating system, but also reveals Huawei's innovative ideas and development strategies in the field of operating systems.
HarmonyOS is uniquely positioned to go beyond traditional operating systems
Gong Ti's words emphasized the fundamental difference between the HarmonyOS and Android and Linux. HarmonyOS is not a simple replacement, but a completely new operating system with its own unique design concept and technical architecture. This positioning enables HarmonyOS to achieve a qualitative leap in security, fluency, performance, etc., beyond the limitations of traditional operating systems.
Innovative development concept: not a simple code rewrite
When Huawei developed the HarmonyOS operating system, it did not choose to simply rewrite the code, but carried out in-depth technological innovation and architecture optimization. This development concept reflects Huawei's deep understanding of technology and accurate grasp of future trends. Through an innovative development approach, HarmonyOS is able to achieve more efficient, safer, and more reliable system performance while inheriting the advantages of existing technologies.
HarmonyOS's core advantages: double improvement of security and performance
The transcendence of the HarmonyOS kernel is not only reflected in the improvement of performance, but more importantly, the breakthrough in security. The HarmonyOS uses an advanced microkernel design, which greatly reduces the system attack surface and improves the security of the system. At the same time, the performance optimization of the HarmonyOS kernel makes the system run more smoothly and respond faster.
HarmonyOS NEXT：High performance
Huawei's HarmonyOS NEXT release is expected to improve the performance of the entire appliance by 30%, and has set a target of at least 20% per year. The setting of this goal not only shows Huawei's confidence in the performance optimization of the HarmonyOS operating system, but also provides users with higher performance expectations.
Figure: HarmonyOS has surpassed Linux in kernel technology, and the performance of the whole machine has been increased by 30%
Breaking the Monopoly: The Global Significance and Impact of HarmonyOS
The success of the HarmonyOS has broken the long-term monopoly of European and American companies in the operating system software market and provided more choices for global users. This breakthrough is not only of great significance to China's scientific and technological independence, but also has a profound impact on the competitive landscape of the global operating system market.
In short, the innovation and breakthrough of Huawei's HarmonyOS system marks a solid step forward for China in the global technology competition. With the continuous optimization and upgrade of the HarmonyOS operating system, we have reason to believe that it will play an increasingly important role in the world, bringing users a more secure and smooth digital experience. At the same time, the success of HarmonyOS will also inspire more domestic enterprises to devote themselves to scientific and technological innovation and jointly promote China's influence on the global scientific and technological stage. Huawei Hongmeng is not only an operating system, but also a symbol of China's independent innovation in science and technology, heralding the advent of a new technological era.
