Fuchsia, appeared Friday, is designed to be "modern cell phones and modern personal computers," Google said the operating system. For these devices, technology Titans have Android and Chrome OS, improving the possibility of cherry will work with Google's competition.
It is very difficult to launch a new mainstream operating systems. But Google's Android system managed to do this, several companies, one of the legends of Fuchsia team including operating systems, including BeOS veterans. You may be satisfied with Windows, Android, Apple Mac or iOS. But there is still room for improvement.
Barriers to OS
Building an operating system is technically difficult, especially one like Android or Windows to handle a wide variety of hardware. When creating a new operating system, it is difficult to get developers to write software for it destined to many operating systems, including the Firefox browser Windows Phone,Mozilla operating system, Palm WebOS and Ubuntu touch a key issue. If people do not use the software, is there any encouraging developers to support it.
Operating systems can also succeed in narrower domains -- anything from network equipment to microwave ovens, for example. And it's not yet clear what Google's Fuchsia ambitions are. The company declined to comment further on Fuchsia.
An operating system manages a device's most basic operations. It registers keyboard clicks, sends data over a network, juggles the tasks running on a processor, stores files on a drive, displays graphics on a screen and controls a phone camera. At the center of the OS is a software called a kernel, which in Fuchsia's case is called
Magenta.
Android is based on the open-source Linux kernel that has been around since 1991.
Fuchsia is still in its early stages. Google Acer switch on and run the alpha 12, portable tablet hybrid, but clearly wanted it in the Raspberry pie, running on a more powerful machine. Almost all types of power of smartphones, tablets, and it also use the ARM chip running on the device.
Fuchsia team
Some notable contributions to the development of the project. Including:
Travis Geiselbrecht,, failed but influential operating system operating system by starting in the 90 's called dangerous hip hop, which sold as original t-Mobile Sidekick BeOS, iPhone, and OS.
Brian Swetland, BeOS, hip-hop OS and Android's core through years of hard work on the part of people.
Chris McKillop, a member of the original iPhone team and the original WebOS team who also worked on the QNX operating system used in cars and some BlackBerry devices. He also worked on the Danger Hiptop.
Adam Barth, Google Chrome team member for a long time has been dedicated to the design of the Google tool called the flutter, convenient for programmers to write software that runs on Android and iOS. He also built a horse of his own so-called operating system.
Fuchsia is an open source project, meaning that anyone can see the underlying programming instructions, modify them and use their own purposes. Microsoft Windows it's difficult to sell open source software sales Photoshop or Adobe Systems, but it is easier to attract outside programmers to contribute to open source projects, and it is more likely, the software used and improved results.
