Open discussion without presentation.

Minutes and next

  • Current status in Anuket
    • RM Ch3 describes
      • accelerators Accelerators in an abstract way,
      • motivations Motivations for accelerators (time precision, power or space envelopes, simple optimisation)
      • Categorization of accelerators
      • How to consume accelerators
    • RA2 Ch3 and Ch4
      • NFD and device pluginsDevice Plugins
  • What is missing
    • RM
      • O-RAN AAL
        • The aim is to provide an abstract API to consume accelerators
        • RM mentions AAL

        • Anuket should wait till O-RAN finalizes AAL MVP and then refer to it. It will be radio-specific first, later more generalized HW acceleration model.

        • Stay aligned between Anuket and O-RAN: Anuket reps (Tomas Fredberg , Gergely Csatari, Karine Sevilla , Petar Torre ...) to sync with their companies' O-RAN reps to try to reduce overlaps and keep two communities in sync
        • Discussion about k8s networking models (so would be relevant to RA2) (Per Andersson)
    • RA1
      • Cyborg is planned to be introduced in Lakese. This was a strong motivation to change the OpenStack baseline version to Walaby. (led by Karine Sevilla and Pankaj Goyal)
    • RA2
      • Device Plugins:
        • Recommendation on what API Device Plugins should expose to be more portable between vendor implementations
        • Device plugin API-s are fragmented
          • We should aim for a more portable API design
          • At the moment there is no consensus on this, but maybe Anuket has enough vendors and operators to build a consensus and convince device plugin vendors to modify their API design
        • Gergely Csatari or Riccardo Gasparetto Stori to schedule discussion on some of RA2 calls
    • RI1
      • No progress Wait until RA1 work is finished
    • RI2
      • Support exist in the tools used to install RI2 (Intel BMRA), even some of these features are enabled (led by Michael Pedersen )
      • HW availability is the biggest issueNext need HW in lab
    • RC1
    • RC2
      • Work towards basic testcases started
  • AAL in O-RAN
    • The aim is to provide an abstract API to consume accelerators
    • RM mentions AAL
    • Anuket should align with O-RAN
