Demo overview

Acceleration of compute and data processing of workloads like video transcoding, compression, and encryption is enabled in Kubernetes with the Device Plugin Framework. This repository contains a set of Kubernetes plugins and instructions to enable Intel devices for the acceleration of your workloads orchestrated by Kubernetes.

The current list of supported Intel Device Plugins includes:

We have included an example demo and configuration information for the Intel Device Plugins for Kubernetes below. Please join us on the sig-node-rtk channel on kubernetes.slack.com to ask questions, contribute to the community, and learn about the work we are doing with Kubernetes and the Device Plugin Framework.

Intel® GPU Device Plugin demo video

The screencast demonstrates the deployment of the Intel® GPU Device Plugin for Kubernetes including Kubeless Function as a Service (FaaS) media transcoder JavaScript function. The media transcoding workload is scheduled on two different worker nodes. Only one worker node has a GPU. The time difference in transcoding speed is captured.

Intel® FPGA Device Plugin demo videos

The screencasts demonstrate the deployment of the Intel® FPGA Device Plugin for Kubernetes.

  • Demo 1 executes a native loopback 3 (NLB3) workload in preprogrammed mode
  • Demo 2 executes NLB3 workload in orchestrated mode
  • Demo 3 runs an OpenCL workload to do English letters recognition, and compares time used with and without FPGA to show the acceleration.

The demos begin with a fully configured Kubernetes cluster.
