What is the relationship between the “BrainFrame AI operating system” and operating systems such as Linux and UNIX?
- In the narrow definition used in computing, an “operating system” usually means the system software that manages and controls computer hardware (CPU, memory, storage, display, keyboard, mouse and so on) and software resources (applications, data and so on) — for example Windows, DOS, Linux and UNIX. It solves the problem of managing and scheduling computer hardware and software.
- The “Android operating system” is an application and human-machine interface management system built on top of the Linux operating system. The core problem it solves is human-machine interaction and application management on mobile devices. It is an application-layer operating system.
- The “BrainFrame operating system” is an algorithm inference system built on top of the Linux operating system. The core problem it solves is loading, fusing, running inference with, integrating and deploying AI vision algorithms. It is an operating system for vision algorithms.
BrainFrame invented the concept of the algorithm capsule. Each algorithm capsule is a small operator, and each operator can be loaded, unloaded and tested independently; once several operators are loaded, they can be fused automatically. With this approach, an algorithm system changes from one big “black box” into a “white box” system made up of many small “black boxes” (operators). This makes the behavior of the AI system controllable and easy to control, and is a technology that is essential for large-scale use of AI vision computers.
