#openstack-cyborg - 2019-10-10
03:27:06 Sundar Yumeng: kind of. Can you access Google slides?
03:27:29 xinranwang I will attend Summit and PTG, and I am preparing a demo at Intel booth during the Summit which show qat use case in cyborg and performance improvement.
03:27:45 shaohe_feng hi all.
03:27:51 shaohe_feng sorry for late
03:27:51 Sundar Cool
03:28:07 shaohe_feng something wrong with my pc.
03:28:21 Sundar shaohe_feng: welcome, np
03:28:53 chenke hi shaohe.
03:29:07 shaohe_feng morning chenke
03:29:21 Yumeng Sundar: google doc not always available. It will be appreciate if u can send me the file directly!
03:29:33 Sundar DO any of you have specific ideas for U release? Such as new drivers, or improvements to Cyborg? (Apart from nova integ, which IMO is most important.)
03:29:43 s_shogo I'll attend the Summit and PTG (all day).
03:29:46 Sundar Yumeng: got it, will do
03:29:51 Yumeng I will attend Summit and PTG too
03:30:11 Sundar Great, s_shogo and Yumeng
03:30:31 Sundar Hope we'll get to meet chenke and zhurong too ;)
03:30:58 xinranwang Sundar: from Intel side, there are HDDL and QAT driver. We can do it in U release.
03:31:01 chenke I will attend Summit and PTG too.
03:31:18 Sundar Great
03:31:25 shaohe_feng Yes, HDDL and QAT
03:31:30 Sundar #topic AoB
03:31:38 Sundar Anything else to bring up today?
03:31:49 shaohe_feng for FPGA, should we support alias for function_id?
03:32:03 shaohe_feng such as in DP:
03:32:12 zhurong Sundar hope to see you too
03:32:38 Sundar shaohe: Yes, that would be a good addition. After nova integ.
03:32:45 xinranwang Yes, as shaohe said. it remains many TODOs and improvement in Cyborg, we can discuss during PTG.
03:32:47 Sundar zhurong: Yes, I plan to be there
03:33:03 Sundar My first trip to China :)
03:33:29 chenke Sundar welcome to china.
03:33:33 shaohe_feng "accel:function_id": "123_456_789_333", this is not friendly to user.
03:33:52 shaohe_feng Sundar welcome to china
03:34:06 Sundar Thanks
03:34:14 xinranwang welcome to China :)
03:34:23 shaohe_feng maybe "accel:function_alias": "SmartNic_V1"
03:34:30 shaohe_feng or other describe it.
03:35:10 Sundar Yes, let's brainstorm on the function_id stuff. Perhaps I should create an etherpad for that.
03:35:18 xinranwang Sundar: can you create a etherpad that we can add the idea on it.
03:35:25 Sundar Sure
03:35:28 shaohe_feng yes.
03:35:37 shaohe_feng a etherpad is good.
03:35:45 Sundar Cool. Anything else, folks?
03:35:51 shaohe_feng another things, now the async job is in API.
03:35:54 xinranwang And we can discuss them during the meeting
03:36:19 shaohe_feng we have issue, should be support async job in conductor or agent
03:36:35 shaohe_feng pros and cons?
03:36:47 Sundar IMHO it should be in the conductor
03:37:31 shaohe_feng OK, we can discuss and improve it. also put in etherpad
03:37:39 Sundar ok
03:38:32 Sundar From the next meeting, we can start focusing more on the PTG.
03:38:44 shaohe_feng also another thing, a mini improve for factory.
03:38:52 shaohe_feng https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3464061/cast-base-class-to-derived-class-python-or-more-pythonic-way-of-extending-class
03:39:00 shaohe_feng ^ #info link
03:39:26 Sundar Details like this are probably better discussed as a patch proposal, rather than in etherpad, I think
03:39:46 shaohe_feng this is no in etherpad.
03:39:53 shaohe_feng just discuss it here
03:40:10 shaohe_feng mini performance improvement
03:40:21 shaohe_feng now when I found it is a FPGA ARQ, I create a FPGA ARQ
03:40:36 shaohe_feng that means I access a DB again.
03:41:17 shaohe_feng we can cast base ARQ to FPGA ARQ to avoid the DB access
03:41:46 Sundar shaohe_feng: Ok. Please feel free to propose a patch with your ideas.
03:42:13 shaohe_feng do you think is it worth to do it?
03:42:17 shaohe_feng ^ Sundar
03:42:57 Sundar shaohe_feng: Yes. Not terribly sure about the casting across parent and child classes, though. That can be tricky.
03:43:34 Sundar Trying to avoid an extra db access makes sense.
03:43:43 shaohe_feng just a mini performance improvement. and mini patch.
03:43:56 shaohe_feng you can see this example in the link
03:44:01 shaohe_feng https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3464061/cast-base-class-to-derived-class-python-or-more-pythonic-way-of-extending-class
03:44:13 shaohe_feng from math import pi
03:44:17 shaohe_feng print repr(c)
03:44:29 shaohe_feng only one line change:
03:44:31 shaohe_feng c.__class__ = CirclePlus
03:44:44 Sundar Perhaps it is better to focus on more basic stuff, heading into U. We really need to focus on nova integ. One consistent feedback i hear is that CYborg code and patches tend to lack UT
03:45:32 Sundar We completely lack functional testing with gabbi. These are not jazzy items but will help convince other developers and end users (operators) that we have good quality
03:45:35 shaohe_feng In cyborg: we just change one line the, arqobj.__class__ = FPAGExaARQ
03:46:01 shaohe_feng also, we should list a task for testcase in the etherpad
03:46:20 shaohe_feng too many testcase should be added
03:46:29 shaohe_feng it is a huge task
03:47:02 shaohe_feng Hopeful everyone can take some testcase task.
03:48:11 Sundar shaohe_feng: I like that. We should certainly spread the UT.
03:48:33 Sundar What do others think? Yumeng, chenke, zhurong, xinranwang
03:50:09 Sundar We can split it into API, objects and db layer. By specific APIs (like device profile create), specific objects (e.g. ARQs, device profiles) and specific features (cross-service connections, etc.)
03:51:57 Yumeng yes agree, it is urgent to improve UT and tempest case.
03:52:29 Sundar Cool. We can follow up in the etherpad. Anything else today? Will wait for 30 seconds ...
03:52:32 chenke nova integ and UT improve are the important things in U.
03:53:53 Sundar Agreed, along with the /v2/device,deployables API for listing inventory and programming
03:54:39 Sundar Thanks everybody. Have a good week! Bye.

03:55:54 Sundar Ah, forgot to mention another priority: Cyborg client. :)
03:55:56 Sundar Bye
03:58:05 s_shogo Thanks, I'll continue the work for client and sdk in U release :)
