Lei Jun has just published a long article again to warm up Xiaomi's ThePaper OS and officially announced the complete system architecture.
According to reports, Xiaomi has clarified four goals from the beginning of the architecture design:
-
First, achieve the strongest single-ended performance;
-
Second, AI empowerment becomes the “intelligent brain” of the entire ecosystem, able to provide active services to users;
-
Third, more convenient and efficient connection;
-
Fourth, achieve solid protection of privacy security at all ends.
At the lowest system kernel layer, Xiaomi has integrated the self-developed Vela system kernel with the deeply modified Linux system kernel, and reconstructed basic modules such as performance scheduling, task management, memory management, and file management to achieve performance and efficiency. substantial improvement.
This new fusion core supports more than 200 processor platforms and more than 20 file systems , and can be flexibly configured according to differences in hardware capabilities. It has good compatibility, allowing the performance of each independent device to be completely liberated.
In the service and framework layer above the system kernel layer, Xiaomi has incorporated the service framework of Android and the service framework of the self-developed Vela system as "middleware"; at the same time, it has created 8 new subsystems, including the new AI The subsystem integrates large model capabilities and becomes the "intelligent brain" of the entire system, which not only allows a single device to achieve strong end-side AI capabilities, but also gives the entire ecosystem intelligent capabilities .
The top layer, the HyperConnect cross-device layer, allows all devices to unify the connection protocol and communicate in real time, ultimately building a smart world with "a full ecosystem of people, cars, and homes."
It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi ThePaper OS has created a full-end security system that runs through the kernel layer, service framework layer, and cross-end layer. Especially at the kernel layer, Xiaomi has enabled a completely independent "self-developed microkernel security system" to ensure Security is implemented from the lowest level .
