Huawei introduced Ark Compiler earlier this year with the aim to improve app rendering speed. The Ark Compiler is a new way to efficiently process the app compilation by directly executing the machine code/binary code into source code. It replaces Android’s default ART compiler and helps to render apps more fastly by removing three additional frameworks.
After a year of its commercial launch, Huawei has finally introduced its official website to promote the company’s own HarmonyOS. It allows users to download and access the source code. Huawei aims to share and want to grow the compiler together with the developers. It is a way towards industrial innovation and to build an open ecosystem.
Huawei developed the new compiler to overcome the sluggish app response on their smartphones. To make it more compelling, the company has recently released its source code by branding it as open source. It removes various additional frameworks and reduces the work for the processor to convert the machine code to the system language. It has several advantages over the Ark Compiler like the lightweight runtime, software, and hardware coordination, and multi-platform support.
Ark Compiler is a bridge between the Huawei’s HarmonyOS and the Android ecosystem. The developers can easily extend support Android Apps support for HarmononyOS within a span of two days via Ark Compiler.
Additionally, Huawei is testing HarmonyOS based Mate 20 lite smartphone.
You can visit the website to download the source code and other support applications.
