Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On October 23-24, the 4th "Changsha·China 1024 Programmer Festival" with the theme of "R & D New Heights, Digital Intelligence Creating the Future" was held grandly. More than 10 industry experts and technology pioneers from Huawei participated in this conference in depth, fully sharing innovative technologies such as large models, AI, databases, open source, front-end, R & D efficiency, etc., and exploring the future of technology together with developers on site.

Yuelu Dialogue Heavy Opening Common Talk Research and Development Future

On the first day of the conference,"Yuelu Dialogue" attracted developers 'attention as the heavy opening of each 1024 Programmer Festival.

In the dialogue of "Global R & D Center Leaders Talk about the Future of R & D," Xu Feng, Director of Huawei Cloud PaaS Service Product Department, talked about how AI can empower developers and industries, and discussed in depth how to build a global technology driving source.

He pointed out that artificial intelligence highly compresses human knowledge. For example, Pangu developed a large model to learn more than 80 million code warehouses and more than 13 million technical documents, and its knowledge load far exceeds human individual ability. With this knowledge aggregation, R & D efficiency has been significantly improved. Programmers in the development process, no longer need to invest a lot of time in repetitive code writing, and code inspection, greatly reducing the workload.

Xu Feng stressed that AI will lead to fundamental changes in software systems. He mentioned the concept of "digital intelligence media soft," that is, future software is no longer a single source code, but a combination of data, intelligent models and media content such as multimodal content. The software development process will shift from traditional human-led to AI-led, from human-computer interaction to machine-computer interaction. Xu Feng predicts that the next 5-10 years will be a leap era for the software industry. In 25 years, the digital economy will spawn more than 500 million new applications, equivalent to the sum of applications in the past 40 years."Software defines the world" is the trend.

To drive technological innovation and realize development of enterprises, it is necessary to gather global high-quality technical resources. How can enterprises have a global vision? Xu Feng started from Huawei's globalization process and recalled that Huawei formulated its globalization strategy as early as 1996. At present, Huawei has served more than 170 countries.

Huawei set up a microwave research institute in Milan for microwave experts, and finally made microwave technology a world-class story, as well as Huawei's 5G key technology Polar code, which is also the result of years of cooperation with a university professor in Turkey. These once again confirm that enterprises must pay attention to global markets and technologies and carry out global R & D layout.

Technology hero discusses the development of intelligent operating system in the AI era

Xiong Wei, vice president of Kunpeng computing field of Huawei computing product line, further showed us the trend of intelligent operating system in AI era and Huawei's thinking on the main forum "2023 Technology Heroes Conference." Xiong Wei mentioned in his keynote speech "Opportunities and Challenges of Intelligent Operating Systems" that although talking about operating systems may seem outdated in the AI era, it still plays an indispensable role. At the same time, general intelligence has become a more reliable direction in the future technology outlook, so in order to meet the intelligent challenge, the operating system must face AI computing acceleration, new interconnection architecture, peer-to-peer protocols, new computing power integration and new instruction sets.

In addition, Xiong Wei also emphasized the rapid growth of data models, inefficiency and the existence of ineffective computing power.

The hardware challenge is how to quickly provide greater computing power to the operating system as data grows exponentially. Chip hardware will undergo drastic changes, from the development of a single piece to the integration of small pieces. On the software side, the traditional layering approach is also gradually shifting to complete integration. Huawei's solution is to try to communicate with the operating system through natural language, and to provide a complete AI hardware solution from reasoning to training.

Finally, Xiong Wei concluded that although the AI era has brought many changes, he believes that the role and value of technicians are still irreplaceable in the future, and hopes to work together with all parties through Huawei to help developers grow.

Huawei Open Source New Era: A New Starting Point for AI from an Open Source Perspective

It is worth noting that behind this technological change in the AI era, there is also a force that cannot be ignored_open source. It is open source that promotes the exchange and innovation of technology, provides impetus for the popularization and development of AI technology, and is the key to establishing cooperation and resonance in the global technology community.

How to make use of the prospect of open-source enabling AI, Ren Xudong, chief open source liaison officer of Huawei and director of CNCF, focused on "How to start a new era of AI following the wave of artificial intelligence?" The topic shared the deep integration of open source and large model ecology.

He pointed out that under the wave of AI, Huawei has applied AI to internal business processes and products, such as AI prediction failure repair, intelligent enabling of mobile phone terminals, and even trying to apply Wensheng diagram.

Ren Xudong gave an in-depth analysis of the strategic role of open source in building a large model ecosystem. He stressed that although China has outstanding performance in the number of AI papers published, there is still a technological gap at home and abroad. The fundamental reason behind this is that we always follow the ups and downs of AI, but lack a solid foundation for growth.

He pointed out that although China is a big Internet country, there are still shortcomings in high-quality data in Chinese, which is very unfavorable for domestic large models in the next competition. Ren Xudong proposed to promote the co-construction of high-quality data among major companies through open source rather than their own, so as to gain an advantage in the competition of large models.

Finally, he also placed special emphasis on infrastructure construction in the era of large models. Similar to the era of high-speed rail or smart cars, infrastructure in the digital infrastructure or smart era also needs open source support. He expects China to learn from past experiences in the infrastructure era and build high-quality infrastructure for the new digital era through open source.

When it comes to Huawei's open source practices, we have to mention OpenAtom OpenHarmony (hereinafter referred to as "OpenHarmony"). OpenHarmony Forum was set up at this conference. Du Mingliang, Leader of OpenHarmony Media SIG and Chief Architect of Huawei Terminal BG Multimedia, delivered a keynote speech entitled "OpenHarmony Multimedia Design Thought."

First, he stressed the importance of an ecological orientation, advocating the globalization of generic capabilities, thereby avoiding duplication and waste of resources. Second, considering the changing scenarios of multimedia, OpenHarmony provides specialized capabilities for various scenarios at the bottom of the operating system, while deep integration of software and hardware ensures maximum synergy efficiency. OpenHarmony also provides developers with a full stack of solutions, including efficient development tools, media capability SDKs that cover the landscape, and test suites for application compatibility.

In order to further strengthen ecological construction, OpenHarmony implements a layered development strategy. In addition to providing integrated development capabilities, it also opens up the underlying atomization capabilities and hardware acceleration capabilities to developers to meet the needs of different business scenarios. In the future, OpenHarmony will take the path of fully open APIs to ensure a coherent experience across platforms and devices, ensuring that users can get consistent high-quality media features in any environment.

Ensuring compatibility between massive devices and applications and preventing ecological fragmentation are major challenges for ecological expansion. For this reason, Ren Yi, Huawei test tool technical expert and member of OpenHarmony Compatibility Working Group, brought "OpenHarmony Ecocompatibility Evaluation Technology Sharing," introducing the objectives, responsibilities and operation mode of OpenHarmony Compatibility Working Group, as well as key technologies and landing achievements constructed in OpenHarmony North-South Ecocompatibility Guarantee.

Ren said the OpenHarmony Compatibility Working Group needs to define the technical details of the operating system and provide OEMs with multiple product compatibility specification documents and compatibility test kits to ensure that developers develop applications that run smoothly on each OpenHarmony device. In terms of OpenHarmony northbound application compatibility evaluation, the OpenHarmony Compatibility Working Group designs application quality requirements in six dimensions (compatibility, performance, power consumption, stability, UX and safety) according to the characteristics of OpenHarmony system, and makes the test detection items as instrumental as possible to avoid manual differences in testing, so as to ensure the steady development of compatibility work.

Wang Zhiwen, head of OpenHarmony Knowledge System Working Group, gave a speech on "Introduction to OpenHarmony Open Source Library". Open source libraries are key production factors for application developers to improve efficiency and quality. As one of the two backbone code warehouses of OpenHarmony, OpenHarmony-TPC (hereinafter referred to as "OHOS-TPC") and three-party library SIG provide application developers with more than 40 large categories of 220 + high-frequency open source libraries such as media processing, UI components, network & protocols, high-performance caching, etc., and this number is still growing rapidly.

OpenHarmony also provides application developers with the OpenHarmony Package Management Platform (OHPM), which helps developers easily invoke various binary packages including ArkTS / JS and C\C++.

(Wang Zhiwen, Head of OpenHarmony Knowledge System Working Group)

Wang Zhiwen also introduced that open source libraries are also the most feasible entry point for all developers to participate in the OpenHarmony ecosystem. As long as they can solve the real problems of developers, some open source libraries in the industry can even have only a few lines of core code. At present, developers from various industries are actively contributing their own OpenHarmony open source libraries. The 2023 Open Atom Global Open Source Summit held on June 11 honored 15 of them. We also expect more developers to participate in OHOS-TPC contributions and contribute to the Internet of Everything era.

Huifeng Hu, security architect of Huawei OpenHarmony, delivered a keynote speech on "OpenHarmony Security and Privacy Protection Technology Sharing", explaining the key concept of OpenHarmony security and privacy protection: privacy is the basic right of users, and security is an indispensable attribute of products. OpenHarmony follows five core principles for privacy protection: data localization, minimization, transparency, identity protection, and data security. Combining software and hardware to ensure continuous security of user data.

(Hu Huifeng, Huawei OpenHarmony Security Architect)

Hu Huifeng specifically mentioned that in order to ensure the security of data transmission between different devices, OpenHarmony uses hichain for mutual trust authentication. In distributed data transmission, it adopts a hierarchical hierarchical policy of devices, which ensures that highly sensitive data such as biometrics is stored only on devices with high security levels by classifying them from L1 to L5. To further improve security, OpenHarmony is working on security policies based on the full lifecycle of applications, using techniques such as code signing to ensure the authenticity and reliability of each line of code.

In the future, OpenHarmony's privacy protection measures will include static to dynamic data protection, combined with anonymization technology, and plans to introduce data leakage prevention mechanisms to ensure complete data isolation, thus providing users with more comprehensive privacy protection.
