In recent years, the digital economy has grown rapidly around the world, and technologies such as digitalization and intelligence have not only affected the business models and development prospects of all walks of life, but also become a key force in reshaping the global economic structure and changing the global competitive landscape. In such an environment, the capability and quality of digital infrastructure are particularly important, which requires the joint efforts of the entire industry chain. Four years ago, the Euler operating system was officially open sourced, and while it is open to the industry chain, it is also expected that more development teams will participate in the innovation of the OpenEuler system and applications.
During the recent operating system conference and OpenEuler Summit 2023, Jiang Dayong, chairman of the OpenEuler Committee, said that since the four years of open source, the Euler operating system has achieved leapfrog development, with a cumulative installed base of more than 6.1 million sets, and its share in China's new server operating system market in 2023 has also reached 368% (IDC data), ranking first. "Euler is the first basic software in China to achieve the No. 1 market share, which is an important milestone in the development of China's basic software industry and has created a solid and reliable software foundation for the development of digital China. Jiang Dayong said.
Fully support digitalization and intelligence
Jiang Dayong said that the digitalization of the industry is deepening, and the wave of intelligence is coming, which brings a rare opportunity for the development of basic software. On the one hand, the application of large models and large computing power in the market is becoming more and more extensive, which has driven the technological progress and market growth of basic software such as operating systemsOn the other hand, emerging AI technologies can empower operating systems, greatly accelerate the development, deployment, and O&M efficiency of operating systems, and make operating systems more intelligent.
After the Euler system was open-sourced, a large number of servers, SVs, ISVs, and tens of millions of developers were quickly gathered, which not only rapidly improved the underlying capabilities of Euler, but also accelerated the integration of Euler and AI. According to Jiang Dayong, in terms of support for chips and hardware, Euler can already support global mainstream computing architectures such as ARM and X86, as well as AI computing servers such as NVIDIA and Ascend. In order to promote the in-depth integration of Euler system and AI technology, Euler developers use AI technology for the improvement and upgrade of Euler, realizing intelligence in multiple fields such as O&M. At the same time, the Euler system also introduces a heterogeneous resource management mechanism, which can deeply integrate GPUs and NPUs to make full use of computing resources and improve computing utilization.
AI technology is integrated into the entire process of development, application, operation, and operation and maintenance of the Euler system, which makes Euler the best choice for operating systems in the intelligent era. Jiang Dayong said.
Ecological construction is gradually improving
Over the past four years, Euler has been working hard to build an international open source collaboration platform, gather global development wisdom, and contribute to the world's open source industry. According to Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, more than 1,300 enterprises, research institutions and universities around the world have joined the OpenEuler community, with more than 16,800 open source contributors in the community, and more than 100 special interest groups (SIGs) have been established, with the number of global leaders exceeding 2.1 million. These data show that the openeuler community has become the most dynamic and innovative open source community in China. "Euler has grown from a seed to a towering tree, and has undertaken the important task of building the technical base of China's information field and digital economy. Academician Ni Guangnan said, "I am full of confidence in Euler's prospects. ”
At present, the operating system built on Euler has entered the community of cloud native, big data, storage, database, and SPDX, realizing native support, out-of-the-box, and supporting 98% of the world's open source software. In order to strengthen the stability and security of the software chain, Euler has also been deeply involved in the formulation and promotion of OpenChaoss and other specifications, taking the lead in breaking through the ISO5230 open source software protocol certification, and the community infrastructure meets the OpenSSF and SLSAL3 standards. In addition, the OpenEuler community also cooperates with global organizations such as 9 overseas leading open source associations to help Euler meet the localization requirements of various regions around the world, provide services for more than 150 countries and regions, and build a new global open source ecosystem.
In terms of community infrastructure, Euler has built an efficient and easy-to-use community infrastructure platform around community activities such as development, construction, and collaboration. In terms of globalization, the OpenEuler community supports access to multiple hosting platforms, which is convenient for Euler development partners to develop nearby and users to obtain Euler nearby. In addition, Euler has defined a data depiction file for the software park, which can be adapted to many software, so as to achieve unified construction of all scenariosThrough the Euler application software platform, developers can also connect a large number of upstream software and community users, realize the classification aggregation and pre-verification of upstream software, and quickly close the loop of user feedback on common problems, greatly improving the efficiency of collaboration.
In order to cultivate Euler talents, the OpenEuler community has joined the "Open Atom Campus Tour" activity initiated by Open Atom**, and jointly cultivated open source talents by cooperating with universities to promote open source courses and set up grants, creating a new model of integration of industry and research, industry and education.
Join forces to expand the boundaries of the open source industry
According to statistics, there are nearly 500 new entrepreneurial projects in the OpenEuler community, with an average of 10 innovative projects per month, covering multiple technical directions such as kernel, security, and cloud-native embedded, making important contributions to the development of the ICT industry in China and the world.
Sun Wenlong, chairman of the Open Atom Open Source Association, believes that open source is one of the most advanced, extensive and active collaborative innovation models so far, and it is also an important way for emerging operating systems such as OpenEuler to grow and expand, so it has been highly valued and strongly supported by various countries. In China alone, 32 provinces and cities have issued policies to support the open source industry, and the number of domestic open source developers has exceeded 9 million, and the scale and growth rate of personnel are among the top in the world. A large number of software companies in China are open source participants, active in various top communities, and contribute wisdom and strength to the global open source development, and the OpenEuler project has achieved leapfrog development.
In 2024, Euler will release 2403LTS version. Jiang Dayong said that the new version will use Linux 66 is the core, which brings higher scheduling and memory usage efficiency, significantly improves IO management capabilities, and supports new network standards and CXL. In the cloud computing scenario, the new version of Euler uses CPU aggregation and scheduling to intelligently aggregate low-load computing power and reduce task scheduling through collaboration. In the embedded scenario, the new version of Euler will support BMC and release the original open source project Miteta BMC for server BMC. In addition, Euler will bring stronger intelligent tuning functions, which can dynamically adjust optimization strategies by sensing service characteristics, and improve scenario-based performance by more than 15%.
