When he arrived in the R&D area, Ni Guangnan plunged into the computer terminal, repeatedly checked the source code, and by now, he could already determine that this was not a virtual machine with a foreign kernel.

This is an operating system with its own kernel.

This made him shocked at the same time, his interest increased, and he waved his hand and beckoned Wang Anran to come over.

Professional questions such as system scheduling, file tables, and internal storage allocation were asked in detail......

Wang Anran explained one by one: "Professor Ni, the operating system developed by Huaxin is based on the Linux kernel, boldly using the GUI graphical interface, the whole system can execute all programs without entering commands, and in terms of human-computer interaction, it can do a little, even if a person has never seen the computer again, but it can also carry out the most basic operations." ”

This is the development direction of the future operating system, Wang Anran can be sure that his own operating system is absolutely world-class in terms of human-machine friendly interface.

Ni Guangnan nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." ”

Then he continued to ask Wang Anran: "The operating system on the minicomputer may be different from the microcomputer, but don't tell me that the operating system on the microcomputer is deleted from the operating system on the minicomputer." ”

"Of course not. Wang Anran shook his head and continued: "Professor Ni, Huaxin's minicomputer operating system focuses on stability, according to the characteristics of a single host and multiple terminals of the minicomputer, the core scheduling protocol is based on time-sharing scheduling as the center, in which in memory scheduling, a specific priority scheduling algorithm is optimized.

In addition, the number of processors in minicomputers is greater than one, and in the scheduling of CPUs, the system optimizes the algorithm mechanism of multiple processes running together, which can give full play to the efficiency of the processor. ”

"What about the microcomputer?" Ni Guangnan asked again.

"Based on the x86 processing architecture, the system is specially optimized for the 586mmx instruction set in multimedia processing.

In view of the low computing power of the microcomputer and the limited memory space, the design principle is to reduce the resource occupation as much as possible in addition to ensuring safety, stability and function.

The processor depth flow is specially optimized to take full advantage of the processing power of the processor.

Of course, compared with the system carried on the small computer, the software ecology is a little worse. ”

Ni Guangnan nodded and said: "The software ecology does need long-term development and the support of major software companies. ”

Wang Anran said in his heart, Professor Ni, you have pushed all the problems to me, isn't it just to solve this problem by inviting you over?

Wang Anran thought about it, sorted out the language, and then said, "Professor Ni, I have a few opinions, please give me some advice." ”

Ni Guangnan patted Wang Anran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Say, Anran, I also want to hear about it, this is a milestone in the independent operating system." ”

Wang Anran said: "Professor Ni, I think that it is not very realistic to expect foreign software companies to support our system, because our operating system is relatively niche, and enterprises have invested huge manpower and material resources, and the software developed may not get the expected profits."

Second, since the system giant Microsoft launched Windows 1.0 in 1985, it has launched several versions of the Windows operating system, and the latest version of Windows NT launched last year has a large number of supporters.

But fortunately, in China, because of the expensive cost of microcomputers, the number of users is not high......"

Ni Guangnan listened very carefully, did he interject and ask.

"Anran, since it is unlikely that there will be international support, how do you plan to promote your operating system?"

Wang Anran said: "The domestic microcomputer market has just begun to develop, and it will be popularized step by step in the future.

I thought that the first thing to do was to popularize computer education in major universities, high schools, and even junior high schools and elementary schools, using our own system.

The advantage of this is to familiarize these students with domestic operating systems and develop their user habits. ”

After Wang Anran finished speaking, he paused, and Ni Guangnan motioned for him to continue.

Second, to optimize the ecological environment of the system, I thought that in universities, scientific research units, and IT enterprises across the country, we would carry out an activity of "what can computers do!".

To this end, Huaxin Technology can come up with a special fund for the incubation of creative ideas, there are software giants abroad, and we also have the soil to cultivate software giants in China. ”

Ni Guangnan's face was a little red, and he said excitedly: "That's right, the improvement of the software industry environment requires more and more people to participate.

Wang Anran looked like a matter of course, and continued: "Professor Ni, there is one more point, I haven't thought about it yet, I want to hear your opinion?"

"Say, to be honest, I'm already surprised by what you've achieved, and if you have any ideas, let's talk about it together. ”

Wang Anran frowned slightly, thought for a while, and continued: "Professor Ni, although our system kernel idea comes from Linux, basically all the kernel implementations have been modified, and the remaining APIs are based on the Linux interface protocol.

Since Linux is open source, should we open source the operating system to seize the international market, and if possible, get the support of foreign software giants?"

Wang Anran thought that the mobile phone operating system, Google with the open source of Android, quickly seized nearly eighty percent of the market share, its system is free, but embedded Google services to make money, this is indeed a genius idea.

Ni Guangnan asked with some surprise: "Anran, you will open source the operating system, isn't Huaxin Technology busy in vain, and other software companies can customize their own proprietary operating systems according to your operating system......"

Wang Anran smiled and said in his heart, Professor Ni, in another twenty years, you will know that free things are often the most expensive.

"Professor Ni, the system software is open source, not completely open source, the core of the system will develop with the progress of hardware, and the system made according to the old core will be eliminated sooner or later.

In this world, only Huaxin Technology can continue to develop new cores and inherit the operating system. ”

Ni Guangnan asked: "Anran, your thinking is very clear, but you just said that you didn't think about it, what did you not think about?"

Wang Anran scratched his head, I don't know if I have stayed up too late late, my scalp is a little itchy, and after a while, I said: "I just haven't thought about how to make money through the operating system." ”

If you want to make money from a free operating system, then rely on value-added services, and what Wang Anran hasn't figured out is what value-added services should be provided.

Thinking about it, I scratched the itch on my hand, and my brain was opened.

"What kind of value-added services, the user is the biggest cost, there are tens of millions of diehards, what you want to do can't do ......"
