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).

History

  • Previous PTLs
    • Zhipeng Huang, Rocky Release

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.

    • Li Liu, Stein Release

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.

    • Sundar Nadathur, Train and Ussuri Releases

In the following Train and Ussuri releases, under Sundar'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.
