03:55:12 Sundar @all: Please look at https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova-specs/tree/specs/stein/approved/numa-topology-with-rps.rst?h=refs/changes/24/552924/14#n163
03:55:28 Coco_gao shaohe_feng, that will be ok if name change, the conductor will delete the old device with name1 and add new device to db with name2. But actually, the db is exactly the same with the real situation.
03:55:43 Li_Liu Since it's pretty late for me here. Let's close it up and discuss more detail in tomorrow's sync up
03:56:05 shaohe_feng_ Li_Liu: OK.
03:56:33 Coco_gao but that name change for one device is not supposed to be frequent.
03:56:50 shaohe_feng_ Coco_gao: yes. not frequently.
03:57:17 shaohe_feng_ seldom resize the baremetal
03:59:41 Li_Liu Alright, let's call the meeting for today. Have a good night/day where ever you are

15:00:44 shaohe_feng_ hello everyone
15:03:15 shaohe_feng_ evening wangzhh
15:03:46 wangzhh evening shaohe.
15:04:20 shaohe_feng_ #startmeeting openstack-cyborg-driver
15:04:21 openstack Meeting started Mon Mar 18 15:04:20 2019 UTC and is due to finish in 60 minutes. The chair is shaohe_feng_. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot.

15:04:39 shaohe_feng_ let waits for a minutes.
15:05:39 shaohe_feng_ #info shaohe_feng_
15:05:40 wangzhh Fine.
15:06:03 xinranwang Hi all
15:06:07 wangzhh Hi xinran.
15:06:11 xinranwang Sorry for late

15:06:19 shaohe_feng_ evening xinranwang
15:06:24 wangzhh #info wangzhh
15:06:35 xinranwang hi shaohe_feng_ wangzhh
15:06:53 shaohe_feng_ we have not hold this meeting for a long time.
15:07:24 shaohe_feng_ #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/CyborgDriverTeamMeeting#Agenda_for_next_meeting_:_Mar_18th.2C_2019
15:07:28 shaohe_feng_ here is the agent.
15:07:50 shaohe_feng_ s/agent/agenda
15:07:57 Li_Liu Hi Gyus
15:08:04 wangzhh Hi, uncle Li.
15:08:16 shaohe_feng_ Li_Liu: morning uncle Li.
15:08:19 Li_Liu Hi, xiaohei~~
15:08:28 Li_Liu hi shaohe
15:08:38 shaohe_feng_ I want to introduce some some hardware accelerators.
15:08:38 Li_Liu you guys wanna do a zoom meeting instead?
15:09:10 shaohe_feng_ 1. the current know type of accelerator card
15:09:45 shaohe_feng_ as we all know cyborg will support mdev and pci card.
15:10:11 shaohe_feng_ but now I find there are 2 other kinds of hardware card we can support.
15:10:35 shaohe_feng_ one is ip over PCIE, another is USB.
15:10:47 Li_Liu i see
15:11:06 shaohe_feng_ wangzhh: do you know these two kind cards?
15:11:08 Li_Liu can they fit into our current design?
15:11:29 shaohe_feng_ not sure, so we need more discuss with them.
15:11:56 wangzhh I don't know much about ip over pcie, what does that mean?
15:12:29 Li_Liu I think it's a remote case
15:12:55 Li_Liu PCI over ethernet?
15:13:14 shaohe_feng_ Li_Liu: yes.
15:13:43 shaohe_feng_ #link https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/vca-2-visual-compute-accelerator-product-brief.pdf
15:13:53 shaohe_feng_ Li_Liu: No, IP over pci.
15:14:05 Li_Liu from Operation System point of view, it's still a pci device right?
15:14:45 shaohe_feng_ Li_Liu: is it s pci devices, but you communicate with it by it.
15:14:52 shaohe_feng_ Li_Liu: it is a local pci card.
15:15:16 shaohe_feng_ such as the vca2 card, see link above,
15:15:34 Li_Liu you mean other hosts can communicate with it over ethernet?
15:16:29 wangzhh So, actually, it is a pci device?
15:16:31 shaohe_feng_ oh, the local host communicate the local card, over PCIE.
15:16:49 wangzhh from os view.
15:17:50 shaohe_feng_ wangzhh: from the os view, you can see it a new kind device with new driver maybe.
15:18:18 shaohe_feng_ there's another card I have attend meeting last week, seem this is a common way for some card.
15:18:58 shaohe_feng_ we can dig more about this kind of card.
15:19:52 shaohe_feng_ for usb card, the movidius AI card is this kind.
15:20:10 Li_Liu I think we just need to make sure 2 things: 1. can os-acc attach it like all the other devices, 2. can the resource fit into our current data model
15:20:53 shaohe_feng_ yes.
15:20:55 Li_Liu as long as these two requirements can meet, we should be good
15:21:26 wangzhh It make sense.
15:21:48 shaohe_feng_ I think the usb devices can satisfy these two requirements.
15:22:01 Li_Liu shaohe_feng_ have they finalize the resource structure yet?
15:23:10 shaohe_feng_ Li_Liu: usb, yes.
15:23:31 wangzhh How about another one?
15:23:31 shaohe_feng_ just remind these 2 kind devices.
15:24:20 shaohe_feng_ wangzhh: I'm not looking into looking into it well.
15:24:35 shaohe_feng_ OK, let's go ahead.
15:24:48 wangzhh OK.
15:24:52 shaohe_feng_ Re-enumeration of hardware card
15:25:17 shaohe_feng_ most of us know the issue of Re-enumeration.
15:25:52 Li_Liu the issue we discussed last week?
15:26:16 shaohe_feng_ no, but this is a common issue.
15:26:43 shaohe_feng_ the bus of a hardware card maybe change after we resize a hardware and reboot.
15:27:12 shaohe_feng_ seem this is a big problem for accelerator manage in cyborg.
15:28:01 shaohe_feng_ I have discuss it with Yongli, the main PCI devices contributor in nova.
15:28:29 shaohe_feng_ he say, nova does not allow resize hardware
15:29:35 Li_Liu you mean add/remove device after reboot?
15:29:54 shaohe_feng_ yes
15:30:04 shaohe_feng_ unless evict all VMs from this node.
