#openstack-cyborg - 2018-06-04
15:15:14 edleafe Sundar_: yes, that is a luxury that a generic solution wouldn't have
15:16:39 shaohe_feng edleafe, ^ any suggestion on the ultima solution for cyborg accelerator numa topo ?
15:18:22 edleafe shaohe_feng: I would think it would look something like: compute_node -> NUMA node -> FPGA device -> FPGA regions - > FPGA function
15:18:52 edleafe But from what I know of NUMA, you can configure it multiple ways.
15:20:43 shaohe_feng compute_node is provider, NUMA node is provider, FPGA device , FPGA regions, FPGA function are all provider?
15:20:49 shaohe_feng ^ edleafe,
15:21:15 shaohe_feng Sundar_, have consider numa topo for FPGA
15:21:23 edleafe shaohe_feng: yes. The only inventory is the function, which is what the user wants
15:21:23 shaohe_feng ?
15:21:51 shaohe_feng edleafe, ok, got it. 4 level provider.
15:21:53 shaohe_feng thanks
15:22:30 Sundar_ shaohe: kinda. But, my suggestion is to focus on the basics for Rocky. If we try to throw in everything, we will not deliver anything
15:23:01 edleafe shaohe_feng: of course, it doesn't *have to* be that way, but it is one possibility
15:24:31 shaohe_feng edleafe, thanks again.
15:24:50 shaohe_feng Sundar_, let's go ahead?
15:25:00 shaohe_feng for next task?
15:25:29 Sundar_ Yes, I will send an email to openstack-dev, proposing this (lack of) upgrade plan
15:25:55 shaohe_feng Sundar_, OK, please, thanks.
15:26:06 shaohe_feng next is Intel FPGA driver
15:26:40 shaohe_feng I see the owner is rorojo
15:26:58 shaohe_feng Sundar_, rorojo is not on line
15:27:09 shaohe_feng can you help to sync with him?
15:27:31 Sundar_ Yes. Discussions are ongoing about the implementation
15:27:40 shaohe_feng great.
15:27:46 shaohe_feng any update there?
15:28:35 Sundar_ Nothing significant. I helped Rodrigo to get started, with code browsing etc
15:28:57 Sundar_ I had issues with devstack myself :), but I got that fixed, so I have a working deployment on MCP now
15:29:20 Sundar_ I am now working on agent-driver API update
15:29:59 shaohe_feng Sundar_, Oh, we have improve the devstack doc
15:30:08 shaohe_feng let me find it for you.
15:31:02 shaohe_feng #link https://docs.openstack.org/cyborg/latest/contributor/devstack_setup.html#devstack-quick-start
15:31:06 Sundar_ The issue was not with Cyborg plugin. I was hitting version conflicts on various components in oslo etc.
15:31:38 shaohe_feng OK, there's a bug on oslo components?
15:32:13 Sundar_ I had to do a 'pip install --upgrade' on many components, because they were lower version than the minimum
15:32:37 Sundar_ Then, I took eveything in /opt/stack/requirements/lower_constraints.text and tried to do a mass upgrade
15:33:06 shaohe_feng should we submit a patch to upgrade the cyborg requirement?
15:33:09 Sundar_ That failed because some components need Python 3. So, I excluded some things manually, and otherwise hacked, till it worked
15:34:02 Sundar_ The issue is, devstack does not seem to upgrade the components to their minimum versions automatically.
15:34:08 openstackgerrit wangzhh proposed openstack/cyborg master: Fix Deployable get_by_host https://review.openstack.org/572080
15:34:43 Sundar_ This is not Cyborg-specific
15:35:31 shaohe_feng FPGA programing, Li_liu is not on line. let's skip it.
15:35:54 shaohe_feng HPTS, yumeng is not online, skip it.
15:36:12 shaohe_feng Cyborg/Nova interaction, Sundar_
15:36:33 Sundar_ You may have seen the spec updates
15:36:46 Sundar_ Waiting for approval
15:36:50 wangzhh Sundar_: Maybe you can try PIP_UPGRADE=True in local.conf
15:37:22 Sundar_ wangzhh: Thanks, will try it next time
15:37:40 shaohe_feng wangzhh, thanks. can you submit a patch for our developer guider?
15:38:13 Guest4480 Hi Sundar, there are one problem we faced in our environment: suppose there are two GPU in one host, when attaching one gpu to vm, if this attachment is failed, will nova try to attach the second gpu in this host to vm?
15:38:23 shaohe_feng wangzhh, also with other doc bugs. #link https://docs.openstack.org/cyborg/latest/contributor/devstack_setup.html#devstack-quick-start
15:38:37 wangzhh It's an common config. Do we need to maintain it?
15:39:04 shaohe_feng wangzhh, maybe we can add some note for developer.
15:39:05 Guest4480 sorry to interrupt.
15:39:18 shaohe_feng Guest4480, it does not matter.
15:39:18 wangzhh OK.
15:39:33 shaohe_feng Guest4480, go ahead.
15:39:55 shaohe_feng Sundar_, Guest4480 ask help from you.
15:40:12 Sundar_ Guest4480: since they are independent resources, failure to attach one should not affect the other one.
15:41:49 shaohe_feng next task.
15:42:26 shaohe_feng Cyborg/Nova interaction(nova side), Sundar_ any plan for it. Should we move it in next release?
15:42:58 Sundar_ What does that mean?
15:43:15 shaohe_feng Sundar_, I think you will talk with jaypipes, edleafe and other nova developer's about it.
15:43:24 Sundar_ Do you mean, nova compute calling into os-acc?
15:43:55 Sundar_ Yes, we need to follow up. We have an os-acc spec, which is awaiting approval
15:44:36 Sundar_ I will update the specs once more by this week
15:44:53 shaohe_feng zhipengh[m], zhuli_ will works on os-acc.
15:45:04 edleafe Sundar_: ping me in -nova when they are ready
15:45:30 Sundar_ edleafe: Sure. Thanks
15:45:43 shaohe_feng Sundar_, but we still need volunteers working on nova side.
15:45:50 Guest4480 OK, we will follow the spec to see where to add our work(code) which has be done.
15:46:12 edleafe shaohe_feng: I can help with the nova side
15:46:55 Sundar_ Excellent, edleafe. Nova compute needs to call into os-acc for specific instance events, as documented in os-acc spec
15:47:11 Sundar_ #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/566798/
15:47:18 shaohe_feng edleafe, thanks.
15:48:22 shaohe_feng Sundar_, you can have more details with edleafe.
15:48:30 Sundar_ Yes
15:48:36 shaohe_feng thanks.
15:48:43 shaohe_feng next task.
15:48:45 shaohe_feng Quota for accelerator
15:48:51 shaohe_feng xinran__, are you on line?
15:49:14 xinran__ Yes
15:49:15 Sundar_ I need to drop off in 5 minutes
15:49:20 xinran__ I’m here
15:49:25 shaohe_feng OK.
15:49:45 shaohe_feng Cyborg/Nova/Glance intercation in compute node, including os-acc
15:49:51 shaohe_feng Sundar_, it is ready?
15:50:19 shaohe_feng xinran__, how is quota going on?
15:50:44 openstackgerrit wangzhh proposed openstack/cyborg master: Fix Deployable get_by_host https://review.openstack.org/572080
15:50:50 shaohe_feng can you update the task status on the #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-driver-tasks
15:50:57 Sundar_ shaohe: I will respond to comments and update it. Hopefully, we are on the last iteration
15:51:14 xinran__ I implemented quota reserve and commit in api layer
15:51:14 shaohe_feng Sundar_, thanks.
15:51:26 shaohe_feng xinran__, ok, thanks.
15:51:56 shaohe_feng that's all for today's task status
15:52:06 shaohe_feng Sundar_, have a good day.
15:52:13 shaohe_feng it is too late in China.
15:52:18 xinran__ But I got sundar’s comment that the first point nove enter to cyborg is agent, I’m not sure about that
15:53:07 shaohe_feng do you means nova will call cyborg agent directly?
15:53:40 Sundar_ Nova compute calls os-acc, which calls Cyborg agent
15:54:34 Sundar_ Bye
