It will be a VM or BM, but I don't think accelerators should be tied to the life of a single instance if that isn't technically necessary (i.e., they are hot-pluggable devices). I can see plenty of scope for use-cases where Cyborg is managing devices that are accessible to compute infrastructure via network/fabric (e.g. rCUDA or dedicated PCIe fabric). And even in the simple pci passthrough case (vfio or mdev) it isn't hard to imagine use-cases for workloads that only need an accelerator sometimes. -- Cheers, ~Blairo __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
