on august 30, the second anolis os conference was held in beijing. information released at the conference showed that as the leading open source operating system community in china, the installation volume of anolis os and its derivatives in the anolis os community has exceeded 8 million sets. at the conference, the official version of anolis os 23 was launched, which is fully compatible with mainstream cpu and gpu architectures at home and abroad. on the same day, the anolis os community released three major plans, including the "anolis os 23 ecological derivative plan", "centos replacement plan" and "ai application promotion plan", to promote the virtuous cycle of commercialization of open source operating systems.

the operating system is the core basic technology of the modern information industry. it dispatches hardware resources downward and supports software applications upward, providing key environmental guarantees for the large-scale implementation of large ai models. in the past, operating system technology and products were mainly controlled by european and american companies. currently, through open source and open technology cooperation and innovation, china's operating system industry is gradually catching up.

with the official discontinuation of the open source server operating system centos, the industry "voted with their feet" and chose to migrate to the dragon lizard operating system, which led to the development of a number of new server operating systems based on the dragon lizard. data shows that the growth rate of china's operating system market will reach 23.2% in 2023, and the main growth momentum comes from server operating systems. at present, the installation volume of the dragon lizard operating system has exceeded 8 million sets, with more than 1,000 partners and more than 1 million users. it is one of the largest and most comprehensive server operating systems in china.

at the conference, the anolis community released the new official version of anolis os 23. more than ten leading companies in the anolis community participated in the full-chain adaptation and optimization of this version, completing the product-level stability verification and upgrade from the bottom-level chip to the upper-level software. the new version uses the most common linux anck 6.6 kernel, which can fully support mainstream domestic and foreign cpu and gpu architectures, and can also improve performance by 11% on specific domestic chip platforms; the optimization and upgrade of the core software package brings a significant improvement in security; through innovative adaptation to the ai ​​container service ecosystem, it natively supports ai computing power calls and applications for the first time at the operating system level.

"the open source community should play a unique role in improving the overall efficiency of my country's innovation system. the longxi community has effectively promoted the improvement and development of my country's cloud computing industry chain and injected new vitality into the prosperity of my country's digital industry ecosystem. at present, longxi and other chinese open source operating system communities have reached a consensus on the selection of the linux kernel. we hope that the industry will work together in the future to promote the deep integration of production, learning, research and application, explore new chinese open source models, and form a stronger open source innovation synergy." said wang huaimin, academician of the chinese academy of sciences and director of the ccf open source development committee.

alibaba cloud is one of the founding members of the longxi community and serves as the chairman unit. jiang jiangwei, general manager of alibaba cloud infrastructure division, said that thanks to the active participation and contribution of many general-purpose and heterogeneous chip manufacturers, especially domestic independent chip manufacturers, in the longxi community, alibaba cloud can better develop the "one cloud, multiple cores" strategy, while obtaining a more robust hardware supply chain guarantee, achieving unified resource management and scheduling, and thus providing more efficient computing infrastructure services to the majority of users.

on the same day, the longxi community launched three major ecological plans - "anolis os 23 ecological derivative plan", "centos replacement plan" and "ai application promotion plan", covering more than 20 special projects such as commercial version cooperation and intelligent operation and maintenance, to further promote the ecological prosperity of community versions and commercial derivative products.
