The OpenAtom openEuler community has unveiled its first operating system designed for SuperPoDs at the Operating System Conference & openEuler Summit 2025, held in Beijing on November 14-15. The event, themed “Intelligence Unbounded, Open Source Beyond,” attracted global leaders in the technology sector, open source contributors, and ecosystem partners, all aiming to foster innovation in operating systems and enhance the global software infrastructure.
Since its launch as an open-source platform in 2019, openEuler has experienced significant growth, now boasting over 2,100 member organizations and more than 23,000 contributors worldwide. The installed base of openEuler-based operating systems is projected to surpass 16 million deployments by the end of 2025, positioning it as a leading choice for digital transformation across various sectors, including internet, telecommunications, finance, utilities, and energy in China.
Introduction of SuperPoD-Ready OS
During the summit, Dr. Xiong Wei, Chairperson of the OpenAtom openEuler Committee, announced the release of openEuler 24.03 LTS SP3, the first operating system version tailored for SuperPoDs. These ultra-large-scale clusters integrate multiple physical machines into a single computing unit capable of handling artificial intelligence (AI) training and inference. Dr. Xiong outlined three essential features of the new OS: global resource abstraction with unified memory addressing, heterogeneous resource convergence leveraging high-bandwidth and low-latency interconnects, and a global resource view that offers compatible and native APIs designed to maximize SuperPoD performance.
Dr. Xiong emphasized that openEuler is committed to embracing SuperPoD computing and AI, aiming to accelerate globalization and provide a new operating system option for users worldwide.
Enhancing AI Capabilities and Industry Automation
In addition to the new OS, openEuler introduced the latest version of its full-stack open source AI solution, named Intelligence BooM 2511 “Qiaoyumian.” This release follows the July 2025 launch of version 2507 “Huimian,” both of which draw inspiration from traditional Chinese noodle dishes. The new version supports the fine-tuning of more than 50 model types and promises efficiency gains of 10% to 30% in heterogeneous inference, alongside rapid adaptation for AI agent applications. Partners such as Powerleader and HUAKUN have already begun commercial adoption of this solution.
In the realm of industrial automation, openEuler continues to enhance its embedded capabilities. Key developments include the deployment of the Mixed-Criticality system framework (MICA), the UniProton real-time kernel, and openEuler Embedded virtualization technology. These innovations are designed to achieve microsecond-level responsiveness and have been successfully implemented in enterprises like China Southern Power Grid and Phoenix Contact, facilitating the convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT).
Security remains a top concern as AI adoption accelerates. In collaboration with partners such as Arm, Linaro, and Baidu AI Cloud, openEuler has released the world’s first Arm CCA-based confidential computing solution on an open-source operating system. This solution supports confidential virtual machines (VMs) and achieves a performance overhead of under 5% while preserving openEuler’s extensive software ecosystem.
Global Partnerships and Future Directions
The summit also marked the addition of AMD, Inspur Cloud, and Digital China as new members of the openEuler community. With these additions, all three major chip manufacturers—Intel, Arm, and AMD—are now part of the initiative. Maria Tang, Corporate Vice President of AMD, highlighted the company’s commitment to open partnerships within the Chinese market and its ongoing collaboration with openEuler in areas such as AI, cloud computing, and confidential computing.
As part of its growth strategy, openEuler has also introduced a group of globalization pioneer partners, including LINX SOFTWARE, Chinasoft International, Wind River, and others, to boost international adoption of its platform. Additionally, the community is deepening its collaboration with global open-source foundations, establishing new technical partnerships with the Zephyr Project and the LF AI & Data Foundation.
By fostering these collaborations, openEuler aims to solidify its position in the global technology landscape and support the ongoing digital transformation across industries.
