In September 2022, after deliberation and approval by the openKylin community technical committee, the GraphicSystem graphics system special interest group—GraphicSystem SIGformally established.

The GraphicSystem SIG was initiated and established by Beijing Linzhuo Information Technology Co., Ltd., the governing unit of the openKylin community. It is responsible for the adaptation and optimization of GPU drivers in the openKylin community, graphics software stack optimization, GPU-based general computing, graphics processing system comprehensive testing and evaluation, etc. and graphics system. Relevant information exchange and supporting software development work.
