14:02:17 Coco_gao Hi all
14:02:43 Coco_gao Good night or good morning~
14:03:44 Li_Liu HI Guys

14:05:29 Li_Liu #topic Roll Call
14:05:37 Li_Liu #info Li_Liu
14:06:55 Li_Liu Who else do we have
14:06:57 xinran hi
14:07:01 sum12 #info sum12
14:07:02 Li_Liu Hi Xinran
14:07:19 xinran hi
14:07:22 Li_Liu Is Sandar around?
14:07:42 xinran #info xinran
14:08:23 Li_Liu I was hoping to discuss some nova related question with him
14:08:50 Li_Liu #topic post-ptg work items
14:09:15 Li_Liu Coco, how is the DB evolution going?
14:10:01 Coco_gao Since we have VARs discussed in PTG, we still need VAR table.
14:10:12 xinran I have looked into ptg summary, we will support a device profile in this release?
14:10:20 Coco_gao Yes
14:10:38 Li_Liu what's the dependency for VAR?
14:10:40 Coco_gao we need to support dev_profile in Stein
14:10:50 Li_Liu does it involve nova folks?
14:11:57 Coco_gao nova only use VARs, and will update VARs' status by calling os-acc, I think
14:12:06 xinran what is VAR
14:12:50 Coco_gao We should have a discuss on what field still remained and what else should be removed as well as the new table field
14:13:53 Li_Liu Do you and XiaoHei need any help with this?
14:14:36 Coco_gao we may need Sundar's help on VAR table
14:15:22 xinran what is VAR ?
14:16:06 Coco_gao I think I can make a draft then we can discuss it together, Since Sundar wrote the recent Specs on device discovery and interactions with nova, he may have some advice I think.
14:16:18 Coco_gao Virtual Accelerator Record (VAR)
14:17:25 xinran Coco_gao: thanks,
14:17:34 Li_Liu ok, Sundar is busy with his specs right now most likely
14:17:58 Li_Liu I will talk with him and see how to balance his work
14:18:11 xinran Seems there will be a changement at db layer?
14:18:17 Li_Liu I have a feeling we have too much work depend on him right now
14:18:31 Li_Liu xinran, yes.
14:19:10 Coco_gao Yes I think so, because he wrote the specs
14:19:37 xinran Li_Liu: could you please elaborate it or is there any docs concerning that?
14:19:37 wangzhh Yeap, most of specs.
14:20:53 Coco_gao We should follow the spec right?
14:21:00 Li_Liu Regarding the db change, I think Coco_gao is still drafting it
14:21:34 Li_Liu but the you can find related information here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-ptg-stein
14:21:56 Coco_gao But I and xiaohe talked to Sundar that he should not write the implementation details on his spec. Who write the code decide the details
14:22:19 xinran OK
14:22:23 xinran thanks
14:22:29 Li_Liu Coco_gao, thist's the right way
14:23:28 Li_Liu Ok, move on.
14:23:38 sum12 Li_Liu: were there any notes taken during the discussion with neutron team during PTG?
14:24:20 Li_Liu sum12, there are some notes here
14:24:21 Li_Liu https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/fpga-networking
14:24:45 sum12 thanks
14:25:02 Coco_gao sum12, also https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-ptg-stein-summary
14:26:11 Li_Liu I saw Xinran is have 4 patches waiting :P
14:26:21 Li_Liu I will take a look and provide comments
14:26:29 sum12 thanks Cato_gao
14:26:44 Li_Liu hope to clear them up soon
14:26:53 xinran Li_Liu: thank
14:27:03 xinran *thanks
14:27:24 xinran And I will submit another patch of os-acc soon
14:27:29 Li_Liu I am still working on FPGA programming api. Just solve the glance client problem should provide a updated patch some within the week
14:27:50 Li_Liu xinran, you are our super hero right now~~
14:28:10 xinran About parse the flavor.extra_spec to the acceptable format to cyborg api
14:28:26 xinran Li_Liu: lol
14:28:53 xinran But these patches still need ovo land first
14:29:31 Li_Liu right, you might need to sync up with Coco and Xiaohei for that
14:30:03 Li_Liu Coco_gao wangzhh
14:30:07 xinran Li_Liu: yes, I have pull their patch to local and tested
14:30:30 Coco_gao the DB evolution is a huge change if we merge two tables(accelerators and deployables) as Sundar's suggest. Should we keep the old one?
14:30:32 wangzhh :) Xiaohei...
14:30:38 wangzhh Got it.
14:31:32 Coco_gao and evolve to the new version?
14:32:21 wangzhh Agree. I suggest keep the old one now.
14:33:41 Coco_gao everything will be changed after db evolution, the ovo, my patch on device object should also be rewritten.
14:34:06 Li_Liu I agree, let's keep the old one and decide when to remove it later
14:35:07 xinran The old one is the current one?
14:35:16 Coco_gao yes
14:35:16 wangzhh Coco, not really. Most of them can be reused. And we should hava a quick start.
14:35:23 xinran I mean acc dep these 2 tables
14:35:33 Coco_gao yes.
14:38:33 xinran Ok, but my placement repot patch depends on ovo now
14:42:41 Li_Liu ok, I think we are clear on the work item and their dependencies
14:42:58 Li_Liu Let's do this :)
14:43:04 Li_Liu #topic AoB
14:44:32 Coco_gao If we don't merge the two tables, then DB evolution is not urgent. Maybe I can do something more urgent right now.
14:46:52 Li_Liu Coco_gao, I think xinran is worried if she's implementing based on old DB design, once you new DB is merged, she might have to rewrite the code over again
14:47:18 Coco_gao I think so, not only xinran's code.
14:47:49 Coco_gao we finish rocky's target first?
14:48:00 xinran My code is now based on coco’s ovo patch :)
14:48:38 Li_Liu i see
14:49:02 Coco_gao Any feedback pls contact me directly, thanks xinran
14:49:10 Li_Liu Coco_gao, yes, try to finish up R's left over first
14:49:40 xinran So I think it’s ok for me if we use ovo design
