Loongnix operating system is a Linux operating system launched by the Loongson open source community. As the result verification and display environment of Loongson software ecological construction, it integrates the kernel, tool chain, Loongson browser, Java virtual machine, audio and video library, graphics environment, cloud computing, The latest research and development achievements in operating system infrastructure such as print drivers can be directly applied to daily office, production, life and other application environments, and at the same time, cooperative manufacturers, scientific research institutions and enthusiasts can develop their brand software or special systems on the Loongson platform.

Loongnix includes three product lines, Loongnix-Server, Loongnix-Client and Loongnix-Cloud, which are respectively oriented to the fields of server, personal computer and cloud computing. It is applied to general informatization fields such as personal computers, servers, cloud computing, etc., and implements the ecological model of “supporting the development of commercial and customized versions based on the open source community version”, that is, Loongnix, an open source community version operating system, is released by Loongnix. As the source of technology and products, on the one hand, it supports branded operating system manufacturers to develop their commercial distribution products, and on the other hand, supports cloud manufacturers, OEMs and other enterprises to develop their customized operating systems according to their needs.

The development of Loongnix adopts the technical route of “following the unified system architecture and standard API application programming environment”. The “system architecture” is the interface between the operating system and the hardware of the whole machine, and the “API programming environment” is the interface between the operating system and the application software. Based on the “Loongson CPU Unified System Architecture Specification”, released UEFI firmware and systems that support the ACPI standard, realizing the compatibility of the operating system across the motherboard and the CPU generation, achieving “any set of Loongson operating systems can be installed in different manufacturers and different periods of Loongson. The whole machine” goal.

Loongson Zhongke has established a professional team for this purpose to develop and maintain important APIs such as Java virtual machines, browsers, and graphics libraries. While maintaining API compatibility.

In terms of cloud computing, the Loongson platform fully supports typical cloud computing solutions such as Openstack/KVM and Docker/K8S; the Loongnix platform operating system container images such as Loongnix and Alpine have been released, which users can download and use directly.

Loongnix also launched LoongEarth, a 3D earth display and control middleware, whose performance is much better than the existing 3D earth display and control software.
