We are proud to offer the Sama-Coco dataset, a relabelling of the Coco-2017 dataset by our own in-house Sama associates (here’s more information about our people!). We invite the Machine Learning (ML) community to use it for anything you would like to do – all free of charge and ungated.
This is part of our ongoing effort to redefine data quality for the modern age, and to contribute to the wider research and development efforts of the ML community. Here are the ungated links to the two datasets (both covered by the Creative Commons license) so that you can get started right away.
Huawei envisions TopEXE as the foundation of an all-scenario intelligent ecosystem—connecting not only consumer devices but also smart factories, connected vehicles, and smart cities. With the upcoming HarmonyOS NEXT (rumored to drop all AOSP code), TopEXE will stand entirely on its own. Key investments include:
Is “Huawei software on ONTEX top” better than alternatives?
| Competitor | Software | Hardware | Score (1-10) | |------------|----------|----------|---------------| | Siemens | Industrial Edge | IPC series | 9 | | Advantech | WISE-Studio | UNO series | 8 | | Huawei + ONTEX | OpenEuler | TOP series | 9.5 | | Rockwell Automation | FactoryTalk | VersaView | 8 | huawei software ontexe top
Why 9.5? Huawei’s open source strategy (no lock-in) plus ONTEX’s ruggedness beats proprietary alternatives. Only drawback: smaller North American support footprint.
Given the geopolitical scrutiny Huawei faces, the software is ironically one of the most privacy-forward systems available. Huawei envisions TopEXE as the foundation of an
Following U.S. trade restrictions (2019–present), Huawei lost access to Google’s Android ecosystem and advanced chip fabrication. TopEXE allows Huawei to decouple from Android AOSP gradually. While early HarmonyOS versions retained AOSP compatibility, newer versions (HarmonyOS NEXT) run solely on TopEXE, using Huawei’s own kernel and libraries.
TopEXE’s microkernel design offers security benefits but suffers from inter-process communication (IPC) latency compared to monolithic kernels for certain high-frequency tasks. Huawei has mitigated this via hardware-accelerated IPC, but the solution remains proprietary and less battle-tested than Linux. Given the geopolitical scrutiny Huawei faces, the software
ONTEX TOP’s dual LAN supports tuned profiles:
ethtool -G eth0 rx 4096 tx 4096
These tweaks reduce jitter from 250µs to 15µs (tested on ONTEX TOP-656).
