On December 28, OpenGauss Summit 2023 was held in Beijing under the guidance of the Software Institute of the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center, the China Software Industry Association, and the Database Professional Committee of the China Computer Federation, and hosted by the OpenGauss community. Zheng Weimin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that China's database industry has entered a stage of rapid development, and OpenGauss has been commercialized on a large scale in the national economy and people's livelihood industry, becoming the industry's preferred domestic open source database. To further develop the database community in China, it is necessary to strengthen the research and development of database core technologiesEstablish a complete domestic open source database ecology and create an open source database root community rooted in ChinaStrengthen the training of professional database technical personnel.
At the meeting, Frost & Sullivan officially released the "Research Report on Database Applications in Key Industries", which pointed out that in 2023, the new market share of the offline centralized OpenGauss system in China's database market will reach 219%, which has been applied to the core scenarios of ten key industries such as finance, telecommunications, energy, manufacturing, highway and water transportation, postal services, and education. This marks that OpenGauss has crossed the ecological inflection point and officially entered the ecological development period.
At present, the OpenGauss database has accumulated more than 60,000 sets of installed bases, and is showing an accelerated growth trend, and has been applied on a large scale in core systems in many fields such as **, finance, operators, Internet, and electric power. The OpenGauss community brings together more than 6,100 core contributors and more than 570 well-known enterprises and academic institutionsThe number of global versions** exceeds 2.3 million, covering 1,519 cities in 118 countries and regions around the worldOpen source ** reached 21 million, according to the contribution mileage, contribution role, contribution field, collaborative development index, community activity and other seven dimensions of data, on the largest open source ** sharing community in China, Gitee, OpenGauss has become the most active open source database root community. At the same time, OpenGauss has jointly launched the "Seed Plan for 100 Schools of Basic Software" with colleges and universities across the country, and has jointly opened OpenGauss courses with more than 300 colleges and universities, cultivating more than 500 high-quality teachers and more than 40,000 technical talents.
At this conference, the OpenGauss Community Advisory Committee was formally established, with members including Zheng Weimin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Wang Xiaoyun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Pan Yan, director of the Software Institute of the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center, Zhou Aoying, executive director of the China Computer Federation and professor of the School of Data of East China Normal University, and Jiang Dayong, deputy chief engineer of the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the future, the Community Advisory Committee will be deeply involved in community co-construction and lead the development of the community.
Wang Xiaoyun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the breakthrough of data security technology not only requires the scientific community to solve problems such as cryptography and consensus algorithms, but also needs to be combined with application scenarios and basic software, so as to land in thousands of industries and ensure the security of the whole life cycle of important data for the national economy and people's livelihood.
Pan Yan, director of the Software Institute of the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center, said that it is necessary to focus on overcoming the shortcomings of core technologies, strengthen the R&D layout of new databases, strengthen the traction of application scenarios, and build high-quality backbone enterprises, cultivate a number of database leading enterprises and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, form a multi-level echelon of innovation subjects and reasonable industrial layout, and enhance the competitiveness of the whole industry.
Li Yi, President of Huawei's Kunpeng Computing Business, emphasized that Huawei will continue to invest in the construction of the OpenGauss community, focus on technological innovation, and work with the industry to build a solid foundation for basic softwareWork with the whole industry chain to promote database innovation and build a database root communityThe combination of industry and research, the integration of industry and education, and actively promote the cultivation of industrial talents.
As an open-source database for data infrastructure, OpenGauss is committed to realizing multi-mode polymorphism, computing power integration, and resource pooling, and promoting OpenGauss to land in thousands of industries and enter core business scenarios.
OpenGauss adheres to the user scenario-driven approach and continues to innovate its architectureWe will continue to focus on the high performance, high availability, high intelligence, and high security of the database kernel, break through key root technologies, and build the all-round competitiveness of the kernel.
In the future, OpenGauss will further upgrade the architecture and kernel
In terms of architecture, DataPod natively supports multi-machine parallel analysis to improve the performance of complex queriesIt supports synchronous log replication based on storage hardware, implements disaster recovery of dual clusters in the same city, and achieves high availability of financial-grade clustersDataKit will also optimize the installation of database clusters, support smoother database migration, and support troubleshooting based on expert knowledge base.
Kernel: db4ai has been upgraded to support vector engine, from supporting simple machine learning applications to supporting large model applicationsAI4DB will integrate large models and DataKit plug-in architecture to realize the upgrade from GUI operation to natural language interaction, and from automatic solution of single-point problems to autonomous solution of systemic problems.
In recent years, digital technology has been integrated into all fields and processes of economic and social development at an accelerated pace, with the amount of data growing and the value of data elements becoming increasingly apparent. The China Software Industry Association officially released the "China Software Root Technology Development Database Book", advocating the convergence route of domestic database technology, encouraging the upstream and downstream ecological chain resources of the industry to join forces to jointly create internationally competitive domestic database technologies, products and solutions, and promote the high-quality development of China's database industry.
