Jetson plugin

[Firobe]

Hi!

I'd like to try vAccel to accelerate VMs on a Jetson TX2i board, but I'm not finding the source code for the jetson plugin. I see that is previously in this repo but was deleted in #34

• Is the code before this deletion the latest existing version, or is there some other place I've missed for the jetson plugin? The available Docker images unfortunately wouldn't do, since they are for an x86_64 arch.
• Moreover, I see this repo has the mbench and exec plugins, but I didn't find information documenting their purpose or usage, though the source code gives an idea. Did I miss something?

Thanks!

Hi @Firobe, thanks for your interest in vAccel!

• the code should be fairly similar, as we have only ported the latest API changes of the tensorNet class in the latest instance of the plugin. FYI, it was removed as part of a refactoring / cleanup process, that separates hardware-specific plugins from the core library.
• the mbench and exec plugins are "utility"-based plugins, the first for micro-benchmarking, the second one for pure API remoting. Their rationale is briefly described in the nubificus/vaccel-tutorials and the docs (which should be soon updated, pending the v0.7.0 release).

Would you be interested in sharing more details about your use case? We're more than happy to guide you through the build/deploy process for your specific hardware setup. How about we setup a call to chat? Feel free to drop us an email vaccel@nubificus.co.uk (or ananos@nubificus.co.uk) and we can follow-up with details.
