A “kernel” or kernel It is the central part of the operating system and is responsible for managing system resources such as memory, processor, and input and output devices. The kernel acts as an intermediary between hardware and applications, allowing the latter to interact with the hardware efficiently and securely.
The Linux kernel is perhaps best known for being open source, meaning that anyone can view and change its source code. This allowed the developer community to contribute to its improvement and adapt it for a variety of purposes.
Now Huawei wants to enter this battle and in fact claims to have created the Harmony Kernel, a kernel three times more powerful than Linux that will enable autonomy in its systems.
Announced during an event where Yu Chengdong: CEO belonging Consumer Business Group Huawei has announced that it will offer HarmonyOS NEXT. He said his company did “this time a real operating system that comes with full-featured proprietary technologies and is not based on traditional American Linux kernels..”
Regarding the Harmony core, Yu added that it uses the “native type heterogeneous” to ensure smooth operation and that the Harmony core implementation for HarmonyOS NEXT Three times more memory efficient than Linux.
They also claim to have used “efficient internal components» adapt to all types of devices, from smartphones, pills, folding and more.
About securityThe Harmony core is said to be compliant with three certification standards: CC EAL 6+, ASIL-D and IEC 61508, ensuring secure operation across multiple verticals.
