Hi,

I would like to announce my candidacy for Cyborg PTL for the Yoga cycle, And hope to get your support.

As an openstack enthusiast, I have been engaged in openstack for 4 years.

I was lucky to make friends with openstack projects such as Cyborg and Watcher in 2018.

I met many interesting partners, such as Matt Riedemann, Sundar Nadathur,

Huangzhipeng, Liuli, Baoyumeng, Zhurong, Licanwei, Fengshaohe, Wangxinran,

Shogo, Zhangbailin, Songwenping and others.

You let me see the charm of the community and rigorous working attitude, thanks.

In the past two years, except for the watcher project, I spent most of my

time dealing with Cyborg. To be honest, I know cyborg very well.

At present, Cyborg can manage FPGA, GPU, smartnic and other acceleration

devices. Users can create virtual machines with acceleration resources as

needed, which is a very cool thing.

However, our Cyborg project still has many things to do.

In the next y version, I think there are mainly the following

five things to do:

1. Optimize the interaction between Nova and cyborg.

The existing interface is synchronous call. On cyborg side, we can change

synchronization to asynchronous to save the landing time of concurrent

virtual machines.

2. Support for more drivers and more universal drivers.

At present, vgpu driver is not supported in cyborg. I hope to implement

it in the Yoga cycle.

3. Implementation of disable and enable acceleration devices.

4. More bugfix and documentation enhancements.

5. More virtual machine operation support, such as cold migration.

I hope we can bring users a more exciting experience in the next Yoga version.

Thanks,

Ke Chen(chenke)
