Hello Stackers,
|
|
I'd like to announce my candidacy for PTL role of Cyborg for the Train cycle.
|
|
|
|
Cyborg got to a rolling start in 2018 led by Howard (Zhipeng) Huang.
|
|
Under his leadership, we established the basic infrastructure for
|
|
sustained growth, resulting in our official release in Rocky. During the
|
|
Stein release, with Li Liu as the PTL, we have made substantial progress,
|
|
particularly in defining a clean database schema and device model that
|
|
will form the basis for future work. In both cycles, we had several
|
|
illuminating discussions with Nova developers to define how Cyborg would
|
|
interact with Nova.
|
|
|
|
As we move forward, there is considerable potential in Cyborg, as
|
|
evidenced by the interest shown by cloud/telco operators around the
|
|
world. To realize this potential and deliver real-world use cases, here
|
|
is what we'll aim to accomplish in the Train cycle:
|
|
|
|
* Complete the integration with Nova, so that we can launch VMs with
|
|
accelerators attached to them.
|
|
* Enable consumption of accelerators either as raw devices or as offloaded
|
|
functions.
|
|
* Support a variety of devices, by enabling Cyborg drivers for them.
|
|
* Lay the groundwork for features, such as performance monitoring and
|
|
health monitoring, to enable usage in production.
|
|
|
|
Thanks.
