Earlier this year, Huawei unveiled its Android compiler known as Ark compiler to speed up the code execution. It aims to improve the overall Android system efficiency by making App compilation more fluent. As announced earlier, the Huawei has finally opened the Ark Compiler for public. Huawei’s idea behind making it open-source is to nourish the development ecosystem, which can play a significant role in the growth of Huawei’s upcoming OS. However, the Chinese electronics maker has not revealed any exact information, but if we believe the industry analysts, then the company is establishing a base for its own OS.
The Ark Compiler can improve the overall speed and fluency of the Android System. It is a major breakthrough after the Dalvik VM and the ART (Android Runtime). Statistically, Ark Compiler improves the fluency by 24%, system response by 44% and the smoothness of the third-party application up to 60%. Ark Compiler brings the capability to convert some programs into machine code and execute them directly on the CPU. Majorly, it rejuvenates the deployment of software and also improves the Garbage Collection. Huawei is claiming to optimize the Android performance upto the levels of iOS.
It was launched along with the Huawei P30 in April and was later embedded into the Huawei Nova 5, Nova 5 Pro, Honor 20 series, Honor View 20 and some other devices. Huawei is planning to roll out the new compiler for some more devices such as Honor Magic 2, etc.
The interested users can download the released source code from the Huawei Cloud’s official website.
