Minutes

• LBI-35 Ceph Upstream CI
  • Al Stone
    • Sees a great need for this in Ceph community as Ceph only officially release for platforms in CI.
    • Ceph CI resource intensive so machines would be allocated for this 100%, memory hog, >64G RAM + swap needed for build
    • Suggests utilizing cloud (Packet/AWS) would be better for this than COLO due to better resource scaling. 
    • x86 currently uses the cloud for this
    • Would we need 2 clusters (Debian/CentOS) although Ceph supports heterogeneous deployments.
    • COLO hosting is expensive compared to cloud.
  • Kevin Zhao
    • Cluster test is required for Ceph CI, this is 15-20 machines.
    • 3-5 days to run CI tests
    • Huawei have offered to Donate machines, and developer.
  • Graeme
    • 20 Machines will only leave 5U for infrastructure and be at least 8A over MAX current limit for COLO
• LBI-28 OCI Accellerator Extensions
  • Al Stone
    • Does this overlap with SmartNIC (Graeme: no, as SmartNIC is about getting SmartNIC ecosystem basics booted, this is about accellerators which may be in SmartNICs but also may be in normal servers).
• LBI-27 AI on Servers
  • Al Stone
    • Does this include tuning of libraries and tools (Paul: No this is using Libraries/tools already broguht up and tuned for ARM64)
    • Would it make sense for Linaro to distribute working software stacks (Graeme: This ties in with DCV)
• LBI-30 ASECloud
  • Al Stone
    • Who will this target?
    • Does it include container building tools?
    • Benchmarks may be tricky due to licenses and other legal issues. (SPEC license called out)
  • Li Wan
    • Will loop back with Peter to get these answered (ACTION)
• LBI-29 CDF
  • Kangkang
    • This is important as although LDCG has a lot of experience in low level it hasn't yet touched real data center software.
    • Waiting for feedback from Scott B (Services)
  • Al Stone
    • Make sure CI/CD tools work well on ARM64
    • good for other projects who can then leverage this work.
  • Larry W
    • Suggests partnering with packet for this rather than COLO (Kangkang we have already looked at AWS)
• Scheduler
  • Al Stone
    • LBI was cancelled how do we track the work in core.
  • Kangkang
    • Missed meeting as it was held on thanksgiving, plans to contact Mike to see how to proceed.
  • GG/Elsie
    • Invite Vincent to next SC to update on progress/plans?
    • Exactly like the last server scheduler work carried out by vincent
    • Looking into how to track these core tasks interesting to LDCG inside our healthchecks
• LBI Process
  • Larry
    • Query on the general process to be followed.
  • GG
    • Needs to have a good solid intro paragraph so TSC can select what to discuss quickly.
  • Kangkang
    • Needs to really be mostly complete as they do discuss down to low level.
  • GG
    • Is going to send out voting spreadhseet next week to prioritise 2-3 LBIs to fully complete, for presentation.
• AOB
  • Elsie
    • Introduce Takami Atsushi Fujitsu SC Represetative.
