Cyborg
Contents
Overview
Cyborg (previously known as Nomad) is an OpenStack project that aims to provide a general purpose management framework for acceleration resources (i.e. various types of accelerators such as GPU, FPGA, ASIC, NP, SoCs, NVMe/NOF SSDs, ODP, DPDK/SPDK and so on).

We align with the official release schedule:https://releases.openstack.org/, with three milestones.
We use storyboard to track all bugs and features. The cyborg basic board page[], with three worklists, track specific tasks in the three milestones.

Bug Report and Feature Registration Guide
After Rocky, Cyborg has migrated from cyborg-launchpad to cyborg-storyboard to track bugs and features. But we were not using it very well. From Victoria, we will use it, use it well, and use it often. If time is very limited for you to walk through all the documentation, go directly to the Cyborg Specific Storyboard Usage Guide, and please pay close attention to the tags!
Development Release Schedule
History
Howard (Zhipeng) Huang started OpenStack acceleration mission discussion from Telco requirements and build the Great Founding Team of Cyborg. Under his leadership, we established the basic infrastructure for sustained growth, resulting in our official release in Rocky. 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 previous cycles, we had several illuminating discussions with Nova developers to define how Cyborg would interact with Nova. In the following Train and Ussuri releases, under Sundar Nadathur's leadership, Cyborg has reached an exciting and significant milestone, where Cyborg integration with Nova (compute service) has been completed. Users can now use Nova to launch server instances with accelerators provisioned with the Cyborg service.
