Who is Wang Chenglu? What kind of contribution have you made?
Wang Chenglu, Ph.D. graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology.
He joined Huawei in 1998. As one of the veteran technical backbones, he has served as President of the Core Network Product Line, President of the Central Software Institute, and President of the Consumer BG Software Department. He is currently the President of Huawei’s Consumer AI and Intelligence Full Scenario Business Department.
The biggest impression from the outside world is that it dominates the development of the Hongmeng operating system and the Ark compiler.
In 2010, Wang Chenglu served as President of Huawei’s Core Network Product Line, responsible for mobile softswitch solutions. One year after taking office, he verified the feasibility of the MSC Pool solution and the large-scale commercial delivery capability, which laid the foundation for the popularization of 4G in 2013.
Afterwards, he went to Huawei Central Software Institute as president, responsible for the pre-research of forward-looking software technology.
In 2015, Wang Chenglu served as the President of Huawei’s Consumer BG Software Department, and was fully responsible for the strategic planning and development of Huawei’s terminal software.
For example, the release of EMUI, Huawei Hongmeng OS, and the Ark compiler.
On the EMUI project, Wang Chenglu’s team has successively optimized the user’s pain points.
For example, EMUI 5.0 solves the problem of Android system lag; EMUI 8.2 is a graphics acceleration technology for game scenes; EMUI 9.0’s first Link Turbo network aggregation technology, as well as the Ark compiler, EMUI 10 based on terminal distributed technology, is Hongmeng. The system lays the foundation.
In 2019, Huawei Hongmeng OS debuted. At that time, it was introduced that this is a distributed operating system for all application scenarios, which can connect the smart terminals in life through hardware.
In 2020 and 2021, Huawei will open up the Hongmeng system code twice, and any developer can freely download, use and modify the source code, and at the same time form the OpenHarmony open source project.
For a time, under such an opportunity, as a representative of the domestic operating system, Huawei Hongmeng system has attracted much attention from China and the world.
The man behind it, Wang Chenglu, is also known as the leader of Huawei’s Hongmeng system.
Wang Chenglu: Hongmeng is not a replacement for Android or iOS
It is worth mentioning that before the birth of the Hongmeng system, it was Wang Chenglu who proposed the idea of ”self-developed operating system” to Ren Zhengfei, which was affirmed by Ren Zhengfei.
According to a report by Late, Huawei’s consumer business grew rapidly in 2017, with a market share of 20.4%. Ren Zhengfei was worried about the risks of rapid business growth, so he listened to reports from various departments of the consumer business one by one.
As a reporter from the software department, Wang Chenglu put forward an idea: In the future, Huawei’s consumer business may achieve hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue. operating system.
This idea has been affirmed by Ren Zhengfei, and Hongmeng has also become a strategic focus of Huawei’s transformation.
At an internal meeting in November 2020, Ren Zhengfei proposed that Huawei is transforming from a “hardware advanced company” to a “software advanced company”. There is no precedent in the world, “our difficulties are conceivable”.
Wang Chenglu revealed that Ren Zhengfei and Yu Chengdong had communicated with him many times during the promotion of Hongmeng’s business.
In external interviews, Wang Chenglu also talked about Hongmeng, technological innovation and other issues more than once.
In response to a series of questions from Hongmeng, he bluntly said:
Hongmeng is an operating system for the Internet of Everything era.
It uses a set of operating systems to connect large and small hardware devices, including mobile phones, from the bottom layer, as if integrated into one device.
He emphasized that we are not doing an Android or iOS replacement.
Facing the rapid development and change of the Internet of Things in the next few years, he said, “We must let the ecology grow on its own foundation.”
So, how to make the ecology grow on its own foundation?
Educating people is a focus of Wang Chenglu’s attention.
He once said that although there are millions of computer graduates in our country every year, very few basic software technologies are made by ourselves.
Therefore, Hongmeng operating system can become the “root” of basic software in the future Internet of Everything world, and it can also accumulate a group of basic software talents in China accordingly.
In the face of today’s severe technological innovation environment, Wang Chenglu said frankly that “we have no chance for trial and error”.
But he also said:
Innovation has always been a life-and-death situation, and ecological construction is also a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. We must move forward bravely.
