Hello:: |

Background:: |
4 |
Hadoop and Openstack are supported on Gentoo, probably the most noticeable |
5 |
of cluster code systems, and quite popular with most cloud vendors. |
6 |
|
7 |
Future:: |
8 |
Apache-Mesos is rapidly gaining ground and may surpass both Hadoop and |
9 |
Openstack in usability on Gentoo, during 2016. (hopefully). Recently, from |
10 |
one of the mesos user forums:: |

(INTERNAL) |
15 |
There is a design proposal coming that will include guidance around using |
16 |
GPUs and better GPU support in mesos, so stay tuned. |

As Ben and we (Nvidia) working to introduce GPU as first class resource into |
20 |
Mesos. By default there is no isolation. But there will be isolation module |
21 |
for Nvidia GPU devices which can be linked at build time and provide |
22 |
isolation for GPU tasks among GPU devices. Initially device level isolation |
23 |
will be there assuming all tasks using same device libraries (hence no file |
24 |
system isolation). Our initial proposal is not exposing details of GPU but |
25 |
subsequently more detail of GPU resources like (topology, memory, core, |
26 |
bandwidth etc.) will be exposed to do better job scheduling. As Ben |
27 |
indicated very soon we will send out design proposal to community for comments. |

Very exciting news for the Mesos communities! Anyone interested in clusters, |
35 |
containers or clouds on gentoo should keep an eye on the sys-cluster project |
36 |
here at Gentoo. Contributions are also welcome. |
