During the + Stein release, with Li Liu as the PTL, we have made substantial progress, + particularly in defining a clean database schema and device model that + will form the basis for future work. In both cycles, we had several + illuminating discussions with Nova developers to define how Cyborg would + interact with Nova. + + As we move forward, there is considerable potential in Cyborg, as + evidenced by the interest shown by cloud/telco operators around the + world. To realize this potential and deliver real-world use cases, here + is what we'll aim to accomplish in the Train cycle: + + * Complete the integration with Nova, so that we can launch VMs with + accelerators attached to them. + * Enable consumption of accelerators either as raw devices or as offloaded + functions. + * Support a variety of devices, by enabling Cyborg drivers for them. + * Lay the groundwork for features, such as performance monitoring and + health monitoring, to enable usage in production. + +Thanks. +Sundar Nadathur
