Chapter 309 Operating System Annual Conference
Reason told him this, but Ji Guanglan was still curious and personally studied more than a dozen technical questions from Qin Ke. Each question was more in-depth than the last, and Qin Ke answered them all fluently.
Ji Guanglan finally had to give in. This kid's knowledge of computers really seemed to have thoroughly understood dozens of professional textbooks related to operating system development. At least the graduate students he led might not be as good as Qin Ke.
Next to him, Shi Cunyuan was already a little numb to the genius of his disciple. He sat beside him and drank tea slowly, just listening without interfering or interrupting.
Several graduate students present looked confused. After a while, a graduate student asked his companion: "If I remember correctly, Junior Brother Qin seems to have published a computer-related academic paper in a core journal some time ago, right?
"
The graduate student who was the first to serve Qin Ke tea and water said with a "You just remembered it now" expression: "Yes, otherwise why would I call him Qin Shen? Not only is he awesome at mathematics, he also published five computer science papers at one time
The third-ranked computer academic journal in the country only published these five papers of his, which is equivalent to a personal academic special issue. I tell you, go online more when you have time, and keep up with the latest academic trends all day long.
I don’t even understand…”
Other graduate students: “…”
Why do you feel like you have spent your whole student life living on a dog?
After Ji Guanglan over there studied Qin Ke, he felt enlightened. The more he looked at Qin Ke, the more he appreciated it, and suddenly said: "Xiao Qin, there will be a week-long 'Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Federation Annual Conference' starting tomorrow.
, basically all domestic operating system manufacturers, experts and professors across the country will gather in Beijing to participate in this meeting."
"I also have an invitation letter in hand, and I can bring two graduate students to attend the meeting. With your academic capital of publishing five papers in core journals, you are fully qualified to attend the meeting. If you are free, come with me.
Want to see something? All meals and accommodation are included, and you don’t have to worry about air tickets.”
Ji Guanglan very much hopes that this young man who is extremely talented in computers can accompany him to the top computer conference in Xia Country. This can greatly expand this young man's horizons and even accumulate some industry connections for this young man.
——He really admires this talented boy.
Qin Ke pondered: "Professor Ji, is this a meeting for seven consecutive days?"
"Yes, every day, experts in operating systems or technical directors of manufacturers who develop systems will come on stage to explain their latest research results. It is a rare opportunity, and you can also get to know big names in many industries."
Qin Ke remembered that he would receive the high-end server he bought tomorrow, and then he would have to modify and optimize the Lime operating system. He really couldn't spare these seven days.
His plan is to launch the new modular operating system written by himself and Ning Qingyun on New Year's Day next year, and then turn his attention back to guiding Ning Qingyun in the next three international competitions.
After all, he was going to participate in the International Chemistry Olympiad in mid-January, and Qin Ke didn't want the operating system to affect Ning Qingyun's bid for the IChO gold medal and runner-up.
So he could only politely refuse: "Thank you very much for Professor Ji's invitation, but I have other things to be busy with..."
Shi Cunyuan spoke up: "Qin Ke still has mathematics topics to study, and he will participate in IChO next month. Lao Ji, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of Qin Ke, but he may really not be able to spare the time."
Shi Cunyuan also recognized Qin Ke's talent in computers, but he was a mathematics professor after all, and he still hoped that Qin Ke would spend more time in mathematics. If this talented student could really prove the Riemann Hypothesis, it would be a great academic achievement that would shock the world.
This achievement can even bring Xia Guo's mathematics back to the forefront of the world in one fell swoop. As for the operating system paper written by Qin Ke, Qin Ke himself has said that it is just to relieve boredom after studying, and there is no need to invest too much.
time.
Except for Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke, no one else knew that Qin Ke was developing an operating system, so it was not surprising that Shi Cunyuan had such an idea.
Ji Guanglan's face was full of regrets, but he still respected Qin Ke's choice. Before leaving, he encouraged Qin Ke that if he has the ability to study in college, he might as well delve into more computer knowledge, especially operating system knowledge. If
If you write any new papers, you must notify him as soon as possible.
The next day, Ji Guanglan flew to the capital with two of his promising graduate students to attend the annual conference of the Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Association.
…
The Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Federation is led by the government and is composed of major private operating system development companies, software industry associations, trusted computing alliance, TD Industry Alliance and other major institutions and associations. It is the largest IT organization in Xiaguo.
Industry alliance.
It was established with only one goal: to solve the problem that Xia Guo has been dominated by others for a long time in this key core technology of the operating system.
To this end, the Xiaguo Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Promotion Federation has been committed to integrating resources from all walks of life, encouraging independent innovation, promoting technological innovation, and promoting the research, development, promotion and application of domestic intelligent terminal operating systems, etc.
The annual general meeting at the end of each year is a summary of the entire year's work and an outlook for the next year's work.
For technicians, it is a good opportunity to learn and observe, because the top computer talents in the country are basically gathered here.
For manufacturers, this is the best publicity occasion to promote their own operating systems, increase their visibility, and get orders, because there are many political and business leaders in attendance.
As Ji Guanglan is an authoritative expert in security systems, and security is often closely related to operating systems, it is natural to be invited. He still has 15 minutes to speak on stage to show his research results in security.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, this annual conference seems to be different from before. Ji Guanglan noticed that the new president of the Federation, Yan Weizhou, looked surprisingly serious when he made the opening speech of the conference.
The tone even revealed a certain sense of emotional repression.
Yan Weizhou's speech was completely different from the long speech of Chairman Pang who resigned last year. His speech was surprisingly short, only five minutes.
Moreover, he did not review the work achievements of the past year, but only talked about some international operating system developments, including that MS has terminated technical support for WIN7, and WIN10 will transmit a large amount of data to MS by default without the user's knowledge.
User data, after the release of Android's Kernel GKI architecture, Google only allows manufacturers to see the code and does not allow any core content changes. Even many components can only use binary images released by Google, otherwise no technical support will be provided...
…
None of this is news. Everyone present has basically heard about it and has become numb to it.
In particular, major mobile phone manufacturers basically carry out secondary development based on the core foundation of Android. Google is the boss, and it is necessary to obey what is said. Otherwise, look at the petals, technical support will be cut off directly, and they can only develop their own HMOS.
.
But how much scientific research investment does it cost to build an operating system from scratch? And this requires accumulation of technology. If you invest one billion or eighty billion, you won’t even be able to make waves. Even if you invest billions every year, you may not be able to produce something in ten years.
Results.
It took a big manufacturer like Huaban ten years to come up with an HMOS, and it was also in a difficult stage. What can these manufacturers do?
Everyone looked at the newly appointed Chairman Yan on the stage with some confusion. They wondered what his purpose was in "reliving old news" to emphasize the "technical bottleneck"?
But aren’t we vigorously promoting domestic operating systems now? It’s just that the acceptance among the people is a bit low and the market share is small. Everyone is also working hard to publicize and promote it.
In particular, our domestic PC operating systems are all developed based on open source Linux. The code is safe and controllable, and it is barely OK to use. Is the progress considered smooth?
Yan Weizhou looked around the crowd, suppressing his emotions and said: "I hope that in the next conference, we can see the display of domestic operating systems with sufficient innovation and highlights. Let's start the next process."
Soon the host came on stage, and following the meeting procedures, technical experts shared some of the latest technological research results, including Ji Guanglan.
Then on the third day, major domestic operating system manufacturers came on stage to perform.
Each manufacturer either emphasizes security and controllability, or emphasizes gorgeous interfaces, or emphasizes having a certain scale of software mall...
There were bursts of applause from the audience, but when Ji Guanglan got up and left the table to go to the bathroom and came back, he noticed that Yan Weizhou, who was sitting in the first row, looked very ugly.
Finally, on the fifth day of the manufacturer's presentation, Yan Weizhou interrupted the flow of the meeting, stood on the stage again, took the microphone, and looked around the nearly 10,000 people present: "I just want to ask if there are any Linux-based secondary
Developed operating system?”
A small manufacturer raised his hand, and Yan Weizhou's eyes flashed with surprise.
But I heard the small manufacturer say: "We have made a disruptive innovation and transformation of the Android system so that it can be applied to ordinary desktop computers..." His voice became smaller and smaller under Yan Weizhou's cold gaze, and finally shrunk.
into a ball.
Many people present wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
In fact, the operating system manufacturers present, whether it is a PC platform or a mobile phone platform, even if they boast about it, the core is the same - based on the open source Linux kernel.
The difference is that mobile phones basically use Android, while desktop computers and servers mainly use the core version released by Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux, or choose from mainstream foreign distributions such as Ubuntu linux and Arch linux.
One for secondary development.
"Have you not developed an operating system that has your own intellectual property rights and is completely independent and controllable?"
All manufacturers fell silent.
It is certainly a good desire to develop an operating system from scratch that has its own intellectual property rights and is completely independent and controllable. Everyone has thought about it, but it is too difficult. Let’s not talk about whether there are so many R&D funds. Even if there is,
Even if you invest tens of billions to create a brand new operating system, there is no guarantee that it will be accepted by the market.
If the market doesn't accept it, won't the time and money spent be wasted?
Besides, when we are talking about business, no one will abandon the relatively mature free open source Linux and choose to study the operating system from scratch. Let’s not talk about technology first. There is no new architectural concept. How to develop it?
