New Generation cloud computing operating system developed in China

The latest issue of the International Cloud Computing Journal (Analysys Journal of Cloud, published in October) is the heat of the "cloud computing" as an exotic product. Computing) introduces the new cloud computing operating system Transos developed by our scientists in the album form of hundreds of pages, and gives the IT industry an "accident", which has aroused wide concern in the international science and Technology Press.

In the paper titled "Transos: Cloud operating system based on transparent computing", the academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and president Zhang of Zhongnan University first introduced the new generation of networked operating system Transos to the international industry: it will contain "code" of traditional operating system, application and data All stored on a single server (cloud), allowing multiple "bare metal" connections with only a small amount of code, and the user can only invoke the necessary code dynamically to run. In other articles of the album, researchers from Tsinghua University, Intel Corporation and Japan and Canada discussed the operating system in detail from data management, implementation cases, applications on mobile and embedded devices, and privacy protection patterns.

Transos is based on the concept of "transparent computing". The concept was first proposed by Zhang in 2004, its core is the separation of storage and operation, the software and hardware (terminal) separation, through a cache of "flow" operation, will be reduced to "imperceptible, user-controllable" personalized service. In this mode, the operating system is treated as a network resource "stripped" from the terminal.

This change has led to many changes, make Transos become a veritable "operating system operating system", it not only occupies less resources, more reliable, and Google Chrome and other similar cloud operating systems do not have the advantages of cross-platform, trans-device operations, not only in the personal computer, server , smart phones, tablets and even smart home appliances run, but also apply to Apple, Google, Microsoft and other companies to develop different platforms, thus breaking the different "cloud" between the monopoly and division.

Zhang told reporters that despite the "revolutionary improvement" of the classic Neumann computer architecture, it was almost impossible for users to feel the change in the background when the network was fast enough to Transos.

After the publication of the group articles, the international famous news media "daily science" (ScienceDaily), "Technology Vision" (Techeye), "Daily technology News" (technewsdaily) and other media, respectively, " Operating systems in the cloud: Transos or will replace the traditional desktop operating system, "the Chinese want to put the computer brain in the cloud," the researchers pushed the operating system into the cloud, and so on the topic of the report.

Zhang has maintained cautious optimism about the application prospect of Transos. He told reporters that Transos is not currently a threat to the existing desktop operating system, but will derive many new terminals, creating a lot of new application opportunities. He also admits that the demand for high-speed Internet will become more urgent because of the higher demand for transos network bandwidth.
