14:06:55 <Li_Liu> Who else do we have
14:06:57 <xinran> hi
14:07:01 <sum12> #info sum12
14:07:02 <Li_Liu> Hi Xinran
14:07:19 <xinran> hi
14:07:22 <Li_Liu> Is Sandar around?
14:07:42 <xinran> #info xinran
14:08:23 <Li_Liu> I was hoping to discuss some nova related question with him
14:08:50 <Li_Liu> #topic post-ptg work items
14:09:15 <Li_Liu> Coco, how is the DB evolution going?
14:10:01 <Coco_gao> Since we have VARs discussed in PTG, we still need VAR table.
14:10:12 <xinran> I have looked into ptg summary, we will support a device profile in this release?
14:10:20 <Coco_gao> Yes
14:10:38 <Li_Liu> what's the dependency for VAR?
14:10:40 <Coco_gao> we need to support dev_profile in Stein
14:10:50 <Li_Liu> does it involve nova folks?
14:11:57 <Coco_gao> nova only use VARs, and will update VARs' status by calling os-acc, I think
14:12:06 <xinran> what is VAR
14:12:50 <Coco_gao> We should have a discuss on what field still remained and what else should be removed as well as the new table field
14:13:53 <Li_Liu> Do you and XiaoHei need any help with this?
14:14:36 <Coco_gao> we may need Sundar's help on VAR table
14:15:22 <xinran> what is VAR ？
14:16:06 <Coco_gao> I think I can make a draft then we can discuss it together, Since Sundar wrote the recent Specs on device discovery and interactions with nova, he may have some advice I think.
14:16:18 <Coco_gao> Virtual Accelerator Record (VAR)
14:17:25 <xinran> Coco_gao: thanks,
14:17:34 <Li_Liu> ok, Sundar is busy with his specs right now most likely
14:17:58 <Li_Liu> I will talk with him and see how to balance his work
14:18:11 <xinran> Seems there will be a changement at  db layer?
14:18:17 <Li_Liu> I have a feeling we have too much work depend on him right now
14:18:31 <Li_Liu> xinran, yes.
14:19:10 <Coco_gao> Yes I think so, because he wrote the specs
14:19:37 <xinran> Li_Liu:  could you please elaborate it or is there any docs concerning that?
14:19:37 <wangzhh> Yeap, most of specs.
14:20:53 <Coco_gao> We should follow the spec right?
14:21:00 <Li_Liu> Regarding the db change, I think Coco_gao is still drafting it
14:21:34 <Li_Liu> but the you can find related information here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-ptg-stein
14:21:56 <Coco_gao> But I and xiaohe talked to Sundar that he should not write the implementation details on his spec. Who write the code decide the details
14:22:19 <xinran> OK
14:22:23 <xinran> thanks
14:22:29 <Li_Liu> Coco_gao, thist's the right way
14:23:28 <Li_Liu> Ok, move on.
14:23:38 <sum12> Li_Liu: were there any notes taken during the discussion with neutron team during PTG?
14:24:20 <Li_Liu> sum12, there are some notes here
14:24:21 <Li_Liu> https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/fpga-networking
14:24:45 <sum12> thanks
14:25:02 <Coco_gao> sum12, also https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-ptg-stein-summary
14:26:11 <Li_Liu> I saw Xinran is have 4 patches waiting :P
14:26:21 <Li_Liu> I will take a look and provide comments
14:26:29 <sum12> thanks Cato_gao
14:26:44 <Li_Liu> hope to clear them up soon
14:26:53 <xinran> Li_Liu:  thank
14:27:03 <xinran> *thanks
14:27:24 <xinran> And I will submit another patch of os-acc soon
14:27:29 <Li_Liu> I am still working on FPGA programming api. Just solve the glance client problem should provide a updated patch some within the week
14:27:50 <Li_Liu> xinran, you are our super hero right now~~
14:28:10 <xinran> About parse the flavor.extra_spec to the acceptable format to cyborg api
14:28:26 <xinran> Li_Liu:  lol
14:28:53 <xinran> But these patches still need ovo land first
14:29:31 <Li_Liu> right, you might need to sync up with Coco and Xiaohei for that
14:30:03 <Li_Liu> Coco_gao wangzhh
14:30:07 <xinran> Li_Liu:  yes, I have pull their patch to local and tested
14:30:30 <Coco_gao> the DB evolution is a huge change if we merge two tables(accelerators and deployables) as Sundar's suggest. Should we keep the old one?
14:30:32 <wangzhh> :) Xiaohei...
14:30:38 <wangzhh> Got it.
14:31:32 <Coco_gao> and evolve to the new version?
14:32:21 <wangzhh> Agree. I suggest keep the old one now.
14:33:41 <Coco_gao> everything will be changed after db evolution, the ovo,  my patch on device object should also be rewritten.
14:34:06 <Li_Liu> I agree, let's keep the old one and decide when to remove it later
14:35:07 <xinran> The old one is the current one?
14:35:16 <Coco_gao> yes
14:35:16 <wangzhh> Coco, not really. Most of them can be reused. And we should hava a quick start.
14:35:23 <xinran> I mean acc dep these 2 tables
14:35:33 <Coco_gao> yes.
14:38:33 <xinran> Ok, but my placement repot patch depends on ovo now
14:42:41 <Li_Liu> ok, I think we are clear on the work item and their dependencies
14:42:58 <Li_Liu> Let's do this :)
14:43:04 <Li_Liu> #topic AoB
14:44:32 <Coco_gao> If we don't merge the two tables, then DB evolution is not urgent. Maybe I can do something more urgent right now.
14:46:52 <Li_Liu> Coco_gao, I think xinran is worried if she's implementing based on old DB design, once you new DB is merged, she might have to rewrite the code over again
14:47:18 <Coco_gao> I think so, not only xinran's code.
14:47:49 <Coco_gao> we  finish rocky's target first?
14:48:00 <xinran> My code is now based on coco’s ovo patch :)
14:48:38 <Li_Liu> i see
14:49:02 <Coco_gao> Any feedback pls contact me directly, thanks xinran
14:49:10 <Li_Liu> Coco_gao, yes, try to finish up R's left over first
14:49:40 <xinran> So I think it’s ok for me if we use ovo design
14:51:26 <Coco_gao> I think the urgent thing is the docs~~
14:51:26 <Li_Liu> alright, let's wrap up.
14:51:49 <Li_Liu> Coco_gao I will work with Sundar on that to speed it up
14:52:27 <Coco_gao> I can join from this week, feel free to contact me if I can help.
14:52:37 <Li_Liu> sure
14:52:41 <Li_Liu> thanks Coco
14:52:55 <Li_Liu> have a night night guys
