This Downstream Lab 1 infrastructure is mainly running on Arm architecture and some on x86 architecture, future plans to expand to RISC-V, MIPS, and more x86 architecture.
Cooperation mode
1) Cooperation at the organizational level;
Hin Yang from LF APAC team is working with OpenGCC and ECC locally. They are like a downstream end user who wants to implement a few Akraino blueprints in their physical lab, and foster the blueprints adoption and deployment to their connected hundreds of industrial customers.
Akraino needs to start cooperation after TSC has made a report and decision is passed, and OpenGCC (http://en.opengcc.org/) and ECC (http://en.ecconsortium.org/) has provided introduction materials in advance. ECC is secondary organization under OpenGCC.
2) Cooperative positioning
Ⅰ Organizational-level cooperation
- About Open GCC
In April 2016, the Green Computing Consortium (referred to as "Open GCC") was established by a number of global leading manufacturers,universities and scientific research institutions. It aims to promote the construction of an open and innovative green computing industry ecology and accelerate the development of green computing architecture in key applications such as big data, enterprise level computing and cloud computing. The Green Computing Industry Consortium aggregate the advantageous resources of the global computing industry chain, promotes the interaction between industry and academia, complies with the information technology development trend of open source software and open hardware, and actively carrier out software and hardware development of plural computing architectures to provide end-users with more flexible, easier to use and manages green energy-saving enterprise-level products.
- Explanation
Regarding the information we introduced in the PPT on October 21, 2021. for different application scenes such as big data, distributed storage, high-performance computing, and Web applications, plural computing architectures have their unique advantages. The Consortium will continue to expand green computing performance testing for more value scenes, provide important reference data for applications through platform and scheme evaluation, recommend users with more green computing products and solutions, and facilitate user selection and adaptation.

Ⅱ Cooperation
Open GCC is positioned to work in the area of electronic information technology, support the technical development of various open source software and open hardware, gather the advantageous resources of the global industrial chain, and promotes the development of the global computing industry.
- The organization isa technical organization, focusing on open source software and hardware (Yes)
- The organization participatesin adequate marketing and promotion, including online and social media. The organization isable to merge Akraino's web links, materials, and blueprint documents in a substantive, appropriate, and prominent way (yes)
- The organization isassociated with academic institutions (Yes)
- The organization hassponsoring companies (Yes)
- The organization supports technology development, standard formulation and industrial promotion of pluralcomputing architecture, and promotes the capability of computing industry. (Yes)
- The organization provideswork space and facilities, including WiFi or other Internet access that can conduct online video/audio collaboration. Server and other development hardware resources can be provide,too.(Yes)
Ⅲ Collaborative positioning
At present, the main body of the Akraino community is mainly in North America,and it is recommended that the Akraino community set up a collaboration laboratory in China. Open GCCCurrently, Akraino's main body of carrier platform should be mainly in North America. It is recommended that Akraino set up a branch in China. GCC/ECC, as a platform for China's computing industry, can be used as a carrier platform for the Akraino branches to land community in China. After After the specific cooperation relationship is determined, the a cooperation statement and plan will be released issued to the outside world.
3) Business implementation
Shenzhen GCC laboratory, exhibition hall and office environment (over 1,000 m²) will be put into use at the end of November. The Akraino open source project can be deployed to the GCC laboratory and displayed in the exhibition hall. In particular, the global projects planned to be promoted in China in the future are not limited to projects that Chinese companies will focus on in Akraino, such as IEC Type5, Baidu AI Edge, Tencent 5G MEC, and China Mobile IEC Type3. Akraino's full set of tools and software can also be used by this laboratory to provide Akraino members in China to carry out open source development, testing and other activities.
4) Industry promotion;
Blueprint is an edge computing integrated software package for various industries, which can be displayed and promoted with the help of GCC/ECC member base and various conferences and other activities.
5) Ability and personnel
Ⅳ Business Implementation
Open GCC has offices in Beijing and Shenzhen, China.
- Business scopeof Beijing Center: ConsortiumChina Business + Talent Training Center + Industrial Research Center. Relying on its strong strength in scientific research equipment and talent team, the Consortium has built an open laboratory (English: GCC Open Lab), which mainly conducts performance testing, security testing and test evaluation of typical server scenes. Office address: No. 65, Fuxing Road, Haidian District, Beijing.
- Business scopeof Shenzhen Center: ConsortiumInternational Business+Testing and Certification Center+Exhibition Center. The Shenzhen Center is about 1000 square meters, including 200 square meters of exhibition area. Representative exhibition activities can be held for value members.
Based on the above，the on site exhibition hall is located in the Shenzhen Center, which will open the year-round display of the products and research results of important members and academic members. At present, the exhibition items are being settled in succession, and it is expected that they can be open to public in the second quarter of 2023. In order to better spread business information and the value of member units, the online exhibition hall is going to be set up by the Consortium will also be open to the public during this period,which will bring the visitor an all-round immersive experience. Office address: Floor 7, building 6 (B), Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Science Park,Shenzhen,China.
Ⅴ Others
The organization agrees to abide local lawsand the rules of the Linux Foundation, including open policies, supplier neutrality, and other rules listed on the Akraino regional community pageTechnical personnel skilled in the Akraino platform and blueprint can be trained to support Akraino's landing operations and technical support in China.
