Background Story
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Acceleration Discussion Started from Telco Requirements:
|
|
|
|
* High level requirements first drafted in the standard organization
|
|
ETSI NFV ISG
|
|
* High level requirements transformed into detailed requirements in
|
|
OPNFV DPACC project.
|
|
* New project called Nomad established to address the requirements.
|
|
* BoF discussions back in OpenStack Austin Summit.
|
|
|
|
Transition to Cyborg Project:
|
|
|
|
* From a long period of conversation and discussion within the
|
|
OpenStack community, we found that the initial goal of Nomad project
|
|
to address acceleration management in Telco is too limited. From
|
|
design summit session in Barcelona Summit, we have developers from
|
|
Scientific WG help us understanding the need for acceleration
|
|
management in HPC cloud, and we also had a lot of discussion on the
|
|
Public Cloud support of accelerated instances.
|
|
|
|
* We decide to formally establish a project that will work on the
|
|
management framework for dedicated devices in OpenStack, and there
|
|
comes the Cyborg Project.
