  • 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.
