Overview of Alibaba Mobile Technology, explaining the past and present of Apsara Mobile

At the 2017 Hangzhou Yunqi Conference , Alibaba Mobile Cloud Summit and Apsara Mobile Brand Conference, Tian Shi, a senior technical expert from Alibaba, gave a speech on "Alibaba Mobile Technology Overview". This article mainly summarizes the ten years of mobile, and then reviews Alibaba's mobile technology changes in recent years, including the basic principles of Mobile First & Super APP, technological innovation to promote organizational upgrades , and the introduction of the entire system of Alibaba Cloud Apsara Mobile and proprietary cloud EMAX The opening of the service, and finally the prospect of the mobile future.   This is the trend we are seeing at present. The mobile terminal is different from the PC terminal. The PC terminal has a GPU, which is equivalent to a monopoly. The mobile terminal GPU does a lot of things, and none of them are very concentrated. The mobile terminal is different from the PC terminal. , The mobile terminal is researching some special hardware. Everyone sees that Huawei and Apple quickly skip the GPU stage and talk about special AI chips. Today, Huawei has opened up some capabilities to developers , which can quickly build AI apps. How to do optimization on the end, the above is the algorithm model, frankly speaking, its cost will be lower and lower through Alibaba and hardware companies in the industry (such as Huawei). In the past, when the mobile first started, it was also changed from the underlying chip and IOS to the framework, language, and tools , including the future operating system and AI framework. Today, we see many AI frameworks, whether it is compiling, graph computing, accelerated execution thrust All together, we feel that AI will change the underlying compiler, computer architecture, framework level, tools, and even applications, application scenarios, and developer ecology, which will impact the entire computer architecture . . AI is changing everything that was known in the past. 
   
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
The future has come, and there are still many things that can be done in this system. Let’s look at some frameworks, languages, and tools.
