17:20-17:40	Registration / Reception	Conference organizers
17:40-17:50	Keynote: Introduction to OpenHarmony This talk introduces OpenHarmony, an operating system designed to support the growing connected, intelligent world, with a focus on examining its advanced synchronization and concurrency control techniques.	Jiawei Wang Dr. Jiawei Wang is a research scientist at Huawei, specializing in the design and development of high-concurrency, low-latency, and non-blocking operating system components for HarmonyOS, Huawei’s commercial operating system. He has published as the first author in top-tier conferences such as VLDB, OSDI, ASPLOS, and USENIX ATC.
17:50-18:05	Talk: Introduction to openEuler This talk introduces the openEuler open-source community, detailing its current state, future roadmap, and research outcomes. It highlights innovations in critical system components published at OSDI'22.	Yuxin Ren Dr. Yuxin Ren is a research scientist at Huawei. His research focuses on building scalable, secure, and intelligent operating systems. He has many publications in top conferences like OSDI, SIGCOMM, USENIX Security, and HPCA. He served as a PC member of RTSS'25, FAST'25, and Eurosys'25. He received best student paper awards at RTAS and RTSS, and best paper award at SOSP'25.
18:05-18:15	Innovating Storage Technologies in openEuler Ecosystem This talk explores openEuler's cutting-edge storage technologies innovations and open-source contributions, spanning cloud-native infrastructures, LLM workloads, and super-node architectures. The achievements have been published in top conference including FAST and HotStorage, and demonstrate openEuler's successful integration of open-source development and academic research.	Yubo Liu Dr. Yubo Liu is a research scientist at Huawei. His research focuses on building high-performance storage, memory, and HPC systems. He has many publications in top conferences/journals like FAST and TOS. He served as a PC member and reviewer for several flagship conferences in multiple fields, including MSST, IPDPS, NAS, etc.
18:15-18:30	LLM Serving on Heterogeneous Hardware Traditional LLM inference is often GPU-centric. However, as GPU utilization nears its limit, cost-effective solutions require broader hardware choices. By leveraging the bandwidth and capacity advantages of diverse GPUs and CPU/DRAM, and by exploiting models' sequential and sparse characteristics, we can build next-generation architectures. This talk introduces two open-source solutions—Mooncake (KVCache-centric, enabling further operator disaggregation) and KTransformers (CPU/GPU co-inference for sparse models)—both of which significantly reduce LLM serving costs in certain scenarios and are widely adopted in industry.	Mingxing Zhang Dr. Mingxing Zhang, Associate Professor at Tsinghua University, focuses on memory systems research. He is the co-founder of the open-source projects Mooncake and KTransformers. His work has been published in over thirty papers at top international conferences and journals, including OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS, HPCA, and EuroSys. He has received several prestigious awards, including the FAST Best Paper Award, the SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award, OlympusMons Awards, and authored the first OSDI paper from a Chinese university. He is a recipient of the ChinaSys Rising Star Award, the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award, and the IEEE TCSC Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award. He previously served as Chief Algorithm Expert and Director of the Innovation Research Institute at Sangfor Technologies, where his work contributed to products used by tens of thousands of clients.

# Organizers

Event Chair

Ning Jia, Director of OS Kernel Lab Huawei

Dr. Ning Jia, Director of Huawei's OS Kernel Lab, is responsible for the architectural design and key component development of the HongMeng kernel. Under his leadership, it became the industry's first general-purpose OS kernel to achieve CC EAL6+ certification, with massive commercial deployments across scenarios like CT, mobile phone, and PC. His technical focus lies in the evolution of OS kernel architectures and vertical integration of software, hardware, and SoC technologies.
