Re: [openstack-dev] [Nova] FPGA as a resource

Yes the project is quite new, we are still developing requirements at the OPNFV side. We will update with full description after the summit when we got all the inputs. Look forward to have a chat with you at the summit :) I think you are right that Nomad does not solve the problem per se in this

Re: [openstack-dev] [Nova] FPGA as a resource

Hi Roman, You are actually touching on something we have been working on. There is a team in OPNFV DPACC project has been working acceleration related topics, including folks from CMCC, Intel, ARM, Freescale, Huawei. We found out that in order to have acceleration working under NFV scenrios,

Re: [openstack-dev] [Nova] FPGA as a resource

Emm... finally this is brought up. We from IBM have already done some work on FPGA/GPU resource management [1]. Let me bring the SMEs into this discussion and see if we together can work out a concrete roadmap to land this upstream. Fei and Yonghua, this is indeed very interesting a topic for us.

[openstack-dev] [Nova] FPGA as a resource

Hey all, On yesterday's scheduler meeting I was raised the idea of bringing up the FPGA to the OpenStack as the resource, which than might be exposed to the VMs. The use cases for motivations, why one want do this, are pretty broad - having such chip ready on the computes might be beneficial
