We had our first official release from Q and continues to deliver great features in R and S releases. Our team is growing fast, people are showing interests in the project across different domains from the industry.</span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div><br></div><div>We took it in our pride that cyborg is one of the few projects that is grown entirely in the OpenStack community from the very beginning: no vendor code dump, design discussion from scratch, write every bit of code from zero.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I joined the project not too long ago, but I am already so fascinated by being in such a great team and knowing the code we write can help others around the world.</div><div><br></div><div>In Rocky, we added further support for FPGAs, e.g. bitstream programming APIs, metadata bitstream standardization. We also finalized Nova-Cyborg interaction spec and start working with Placement folks to make things happen. In addition, we have more device drivers supports (GPUs, Intel/Xilinx FPGAs, etc.)</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward in Stein Cycle, here is a list of things we will try to accomplish:</div><div>1. Finish and polish up the interaction with Nova through placement API</div><div>2. FInish Implementing os-acc library</div><div>3. Complete the E2E flow of doing acc scheduling, initializing, as well as FPGA programming</div><div>4. Work with the k8s community to provide containerization support for Kubernetes DPI plugin.</div><div>5. Work with Berkely RISC-V team to port their projects over to the OpenStack ecosystem(e.g. FireSim)</div></div>
