| 15:33:31 | zhipeng_ | it has security concerns as well, no doubt, but i think we could deal with it later on | |
| 15:34:30 | jkilpatr | you're talking about permissions levels on the accelerator itself? What is the "smart device" ? | |
| 15:35:51 | zhipeng_ | yes i was. smart device like intelligent NICs I referred to | |
| 15:36:13 | zhipeng_ | there are FPGA enabled devices that you could program the "micro" virtual functions | |
| 15:36:27 | zhipeng_ | deploy them in different ways to compose different functionalities | |
| 15:36:49 | zhipeng_ | it is not widely used yet, but I think it would be a major use case later on | |
| 15:37:08 | jkilpatr | I know FPGA's can be deployed like that but I never thought about user levels on them. | |
| 15:37:08 | zhipeng_ | for example in edge computing, where you could dynamically compose your network dataplane | |
| 15:37:46 | zhipeng_ | that was just my thinking | |
| 15:38:09 | jkilpatr | it makes sense, just never considered it that way. | |
| 15:38:56 | zhipeng_ | if we could have cyoborg agent setup an ansible playbook on a rasberry pie | |
| 15:39:03 | zhipeng_ | that would be supper awesome :P | |
| 15:39:22 | jkilpatr | but why? | |
| 15:39:49 | zhipeng_ | (just thinking out loud) | |
| 15:40:12 | zhipeng_ | never mind the pie example | |
| 15:40:34 | zhipeng_ | so I think I will also comment on the patch, to see what's _gryf's take on this | |
| 15:41:17 | zhipeng_ | if in the end , the dynamic composition FPGA use case is still too far fetch, then we could just have the regular playbook procedure | |
| 15:43:04 | jkilpatr | I think that's fine for now. Maybe add some notifications to the operator that things need to be setup. | |
| 15:43:14 | jkilpatr | I think we could detect new accelerators without root | |
| 15:43:39 | zhipeng_ | yes that is ture | |
| 15:43:43 | zhipeng_ | true ... | |
| 15:43:49 | zhipeng_ | fat fingers | |
| 15:44:00 | zhipeng_ | #topic AoB | |
| 15:44:09 | zhipeng_ | okey any other buisness or topics | |
| 15:46:13 | crushil | Not from me | |
| 15:48:40 | jkilpatr | not from me either | |
| 15:48:45 | zhipeng_ | okey thank you guys for the great work on the bp patches, let's conclude the meeting earlier today :) | |
| 15:48:53 | zhipeng_ | see you guys on gerrit :P | |

| 14:01:46 | ewchan | Hi. This is Eugene Chan from Huawei. I would like to be an observer of the meeting today. | |
| 14:02:29 | zhipeng | cool :) | |
| 14:02:37 | NokMikeR | HI Eugene, welcome. | |
| 14:02:39 | zhipeng | our meeting will start one hour later | |
| 14:02:45 | zhipeng | but we could always chat :P | |
| 14:04:34 | ewchan | oh. thanks. it must be the dst changes. as it listed as 10am est in the cyborg site. | |
| 14:05:10 | zhipeng | i forgot to change lol | |
| 14:05:19 | zhipeng | thx for reminding | |
| 14:05:43 | ewchan | no problem :) | |
| 14:06:00 | NokMikeR | was the meeting normally held at 15:00 UTC? | |
| 14:06:29 | zhipeng | NokMikeR yes I think at least for the Pike cycle | |
| 15:01:29 | crushil | \o | |
| 15:06:50 | zhipengh[m] | Hey guys | |
| 15:07:04 | zhipengh[m] | My home network is very unstable | |
| 15:07:26 | zhipengh[m] | #startmeeting openstack-cyborg | |

| 15:07:31 | openstack | The meeting name has been set to 'openstack_cyborg' | |
| 15:07:53 | zhipengh[m] | #topic BP outstanding issues | |
| 15:16:02 | _gryf | I think we lost zhipengh[m] | |
| 15:16:19 | crushil | _gryf, I think so too | |
| 15:16:22 | jkilpatr | so I updated my review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/446091/ Id appreciate if someone could look at it | |
| 15:16:30 | _gryf | jkilpatr, will do. | |
| 15:16:36 | crushil | jkilpatr, I will too | |
| 15:17:11 | jkilpatr | has anyone else done another patchset I should look at? | |
| 15:17:14 | crushil | jkilpatr, Can you please remove the WIP from the commit message and give it a proper commit message? | |
| 15:17:25 | jkilpatr | oh sure that's easy. | |
| 15:17:52 | _gryf | my bp still needs some attention. esp in context of its correctness | |
| 15:18:06 | jkilpatr | _gryf, link? | |
| 15:18:20 | crushil | jkilpatr, _gryf Can you look at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/447257/ please? | |
| 15:18:21 | _gryf | #link https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/cyborg | |
| 15:18:33 | _gryf | all cyborg work ^^ | |
| 15:18:44 | _gryf | #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/448228/ | |
| 15:18:50 | _gryf | and that's mine ^^ | |
| 15:19:28 | _gryf | crushil, yup, I'll have it on my queue | |
| 15:19:33 | crushil | _gryf, I already gave it a first look | |
| 15:19:50 | _gryf | crushil, yes, I appreciate it :) | |
| 15:19:54 | crushil | _gryf, Can you address those comments? | |
| 15:20:03 | _gryf | I will. | |
| 15:20:06 | crushil | _gryf, Thanks | |
| 15:20:17 | _gryf | I just have limited time for doing this | |
| 15:20:33 | jkilpatr | so for the time being we are going to direct passthrough attachment of hardware? | |
| 15:20:45 | _gryf | since my division have different goals now, so that I have to do it at my free time | |
| 15:20:47 | jkilpatr | I don't think there are any other options that we can implement for a first release. | |
| 15:21:19 | _gryf | jkilpatr, that should be easy | |
| 15:22:24 | _gryf | maybe that was already discussed, and I didn't grasp it - does cyborg supposed to spin VMs? | |
| 15:24:14 | jkilpatr | from what I understand no | |
| 15:24:29 | jkilpatr | from what I understand we can't touch the VM's at all without seriously screwing with Nova we have to let nova do everything | |
| 15:24:41 | jkilpatr | meaning schedule, spin up, and maybe call out to us to attach if it allows. | |
| 15:25:06 | _gryf | that what I thought, hence my questions on your BP (cyborg conductor/agent) | |
| 15:26:38 | _gryf | I wasn't on PTG, that's why I'm wondering if there was some architectural decisions made regarding interaction between cyborg and rest of openstack services | |
| 15:26:58 | jkilpatr | _gryf, now that I know of, we should probably actually ask the nova team about this | |
| 15:27:21 | jkilpatr | get clear outlines for what we can and can't do, because I've got nothing but hearsay | |
| 15:27:26 | _gryf | certainly | |
| 15:28:13 | _gryf | I guess, that we can at least build a prototype with minimal changes in Nova, just to sell the idea | |
| 15:29:17 | _gryf | also communicate with nova team about that using irc/mailing list might be helpful | |
| 15:29:49 | _gryf | maybe reserving a slot for that on upcoming summit would be good (if possible, since it is not ptg) | |
| 15:31:32 | jkilpatr | I may or may not be there I haven't gotten final word yet. I didn't get a talk in :( | |
| 15:34:10 | jkilpatr | there's been some chatter about the placement API, we need look into that. | |
| 15:37:09 | _gryf | yes there is. currently it is qualitative aspect discussed (implementation already has started) | |
| 15:37:24 | _gryf | and also nested resource providers is the next topic | |
| 15:38:41 | _gryf | especially the last feature might be really interesting for us in context of exposing VF from accelerators (I assume that GPU also using virtual functions for virtualization) | |
| 15:39:26 | jkilpatr | so nova will have an api to support virtual functions? | |
| 15:40:28 | jkilpatr | also zhipengh[m] is less than 1 light minute away, looks like Saturn will know about his messages before we do. | |
| 15:40:40 | crushil | lol | |
| 15:40:48 | jkilpatr | fun fact Saturn is just over 1 light hour away. | |
