I'm pretty sure we've said several times already that modeling NUMA in <br>
Placement is not something for which we're holding up the extraction.<br>

Just about knowing whether the Nova folks would accept us to modify some o.vo object and module just for a temporary time until Placement API has some new query parameter.</div><div>Whether Placement is extracted or not isn't really the problem, it's more about the time it will take for this query parameter ("numbered request groups to be in the same subtree") to be implemented in the Placement API.</div><div>The real problem we have with vGPUs is that if we don't have NUMA affinity, the performance would be around 10% less for vGPUs (if the pGPU isn't on the same NUMA cell than the pCPU). Not sure large operators would accept that :(</div><div><br></div><div>-Sylvain<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
