OpenStack Cyborg is an OpenStack project that provides a framework for managing and orchestrating heterogeneous hardware accelerators, also known as accelerators or FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) devices. The project aims to make it easier to consume and manage these devices in cloud environments.
When it comes to vendor drivers in OpenStack Cyborg, the project supports a variety of hardware vendors and their respective drivers. The availability and support for specific vendor drivers may vary depending on the version of OpenStack and the hardware vendors themselves. Some of the prominent vendor drivers that have been supported or are in development for OpenStack Cyborg include:
- Intel FPGA: Intel provides FPGA devices and corresponding drivers that are compatible with OpenStack Cyborg. These drivers enable the integration and management of Intel FPGA devices within an OpenStack environment.
- Xilinx FPGA: Xilinx is another major FPGA vendor, and they have been working on developing drivers for OpenStack Cyborg to support their FPGA devices. These drivers allow users to utilize Xilinx FPGA accelerators through the Cyborg framework.
- AMD GPU: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a well-known provider of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). AMD GPU drivers can be used with OpenStack Cyborg to leverage the computational power of AMD GPUs for various applications and workloads.
- NVIDIA GPU: NVIDIA is a leading GPU manufacturer, and their GPU drivers are widely used in the industry. OpenStack Cyborg supports NVIDIA GPU drivers, enabling the utilization of NVIDIA GPUs for hardware acceleration in OpenStack environments.
These are just a few examples of the vendor drivers that have been or are being developed for OpenStack Cyborg. It’s important to note that the availability and support for specific drivers may change over time as new versions of OpenStack are released and as vendors update their drivers.
