Proposal of OSS-based FPGA container automatic migration system between servers

Abstract

FPGA virtualization using container (FPGA container) are being used to implement cloud services as the combinations offer high-speed processing. As it is necessary to migrate FPGA container to another server due to system maintenance etc., this paper proposes an integrated system of managing FPGAs and containers using OSS such as k8s and Tacker. Experiments show that the proposed system can detect the specified migration trigger and automatically perform FPGA container migration between servers.
