Hey Muhuan, By adding "GPUs/FPGAs" to resources do you mean *accounting* for them properly or *isolating* them. The former should be possible out of the box. Just add this new resource type when you start a slave (see --resources flag). For properly isolation these resources, we need new isolators to be written.
AFAIK, it is not in our roadmap to add these isolators. That said, with 0.18.0 we made it easier to add new isolators. So maybe you want to give it a shot? @vinodkone On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 8:04 AM, Tim St Clair <[email protected]> wrote: > I think many can agree that *this is a useful feature, but be forewarned, > "Thar be dragons in this space!" > > There is a high degree of variability across GPU's, their abilities, and > apis.
