How to Use

Prerequisites

First, you need to make sure that you installed Accelerator-Docker properly.

• In Accelerator-Docker setting(/etc/accelerator-docker/device.pbtxt), accelerator type should be named following kubernetes resourece naming rule. Refer to this.

Enabling Accelerators in Containers

You can require your accelerators as a resource like below:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: demo-pod
spec:
  containers:
    - name: demo-container
      image: ubuntu:16.04
      resources:
        limits:
          {ACCELERATOR_TYPE}: 1

'Accelerator type' is configured in Accelerator-Docker configuration file and you can check it by using acc-manager list command

• Example)

$ acc-manager list
+------------+--------------+------------------------+----------------+----------------+----------+
|     ID     |     Name     |          Type          |    PCI-Slot    |     Status     |  Holder  |
+------------+--------------+------------------------+----------------+----------------+----------+
| 234750     | QuadroM2000  | nvidia.com/gpu         | 0000:02:00.0   | Available      | 0        |
| 1121730    | KCU-1500     | xilinx.fpga/kcu-1500   | 0000:01:00.0   | Available      | 0        |
+------------+--------------+------------------------+----------------+----------------+----------+

If you want to use KCU-1500 for your pod, you can set container limit as follows.

  containers:
    - name: demo-container
      image: ubuntu:16.04
      resources:
        limits:
          xilinx.fpga/kcu-1500: 1
