Hi Team, Sorry for the long delay after our ptg session. Here are the main takeaways from the meeting (both f2f and virtual <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-ptg-pike> ):
*1. Pike Development Goal* We will shoot for an basic functional Cyborg code base for the Pike release cycle. We will build the initial modules based upon Roman's proposal <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-nova-interaction>. These initial modules are: *API*: as abstract as possible, and not necessary for multi-tenancy usage in Pike. *DB*: Maintain Cyborg specific device information (for example metadata extracted during the discovery phase) *Drivers*: support out-of-tree vendor solution in the long run, and try to come up with a generic driver (maybe based upon virtio interfaces) for Pike to get basic functionalities. *Agent*: the "compute" part of Cyborg thats directly talks to the accelerators/dedicated devices. We have designated the prime sponsors for these modules and look forward to *the initial BPs at the next team meeting (which will be Mar 15th, Wed this week)* *2. Sandboxing proposals* Per agreed in previous meetings as well as ptg, we will setup a sandbox folder for the design proposals (we've covered one from Mellanox and one from Huawei) *3. Specific use case targeting* The task illustrated in section 1 is for building the common code structure, however we still need further work on specific use cases. Although not fully discussed during ptg meeting, Harm's proposal <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Dc7PdTARsxc2cwTlJnelctWHM> will continue to be discussed as the main input for FPGA use case, whereas the requirements <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ScientificWGGPUs> coming out of Scientific WG would be the main one for GPU. We are looking at to provide basic solutions for these two use cases in Pike. *Reminder: our bi-weekly meeting resumes on Wed this week :)* -- Zhipeng (Howard) Huang Standard Engineer IT Standard & Patent/IT Prooduct Line Huawei Technologies Co,.
