In 2022, NVIDIA released the Jetson Orin modules, specifically designed for extreme computation at the Edge. The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin modules deliver up to 275 TOPS of AI performance with power configurable between 15W and 60W.
The PYNQ-Z1 board is the hardware platform for the PYNQ open-source framework. It features a Zynq-7000 (XC7Z020-1CLG400C) All Programmable System-On-Chip (APSoC), integrating a feature-rich dual-core Cortex-A9 based processing system (PS) and Xilinx programmable logic (PL) in a single device. Figure 1 shows an image of the PYNQ-Z1 development board by Digilent.
Picking up from where we left in our previous post, we will now install AWS Firecracker and configure Kata Containers to use it as their hypervisor.
Picking up from where we left in our previous post, we will now install QEMU and configure Kata Containers to use QEMU as their hypervisor.
Kata Containers enable containers to be seamlessly executed in Virtual Machines. Kata Containers are as light and fast as containers and integrate with the container management layers, while also delivering the security advantages of VMs. Kata Containers is the result of merging two existing open source projects: Intel Clear Containers and Hyper runV.
In our previous post we spoke about the potential solutions for deploying serverless offerings with hardware acceleration support. With the increasing adoption of the serverless and FaaS paradigms, providers will need to offer some form of hardware acceleration semantics.
Earlier this month we visited FOSDEM, an absolutely open and free event for developers, open-source vendors and enthusiasts to meet, share their ideas and news, and discuss the latest in open source. Talks at FOSDEM are usually organized within several sections: Keynotes, Main tracks, Developer rooms and Lightning talks.
