## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This is a tool for generating (large number of) fake device files for
|
||||
k8s device scheduling scalability testing. But it can also be used
|
||||
just to test (GPU) device plugin functionality without having
|
||||
corresponding device HW.
|
||||
|
||||
Its "intel-gpu-fakedev" container is intended to be run as first init
|
||||
container in a device plugin pod, so that device plugin (and its NFD
|
||||
labeler) see the fake (sysfs + devfs) files generated by the tool,
|
||||
instead of real host sysfs and devfs content.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
[Configs](configs/) subdirectory contains example JSON configuration
|
||||
file(s) for the generator. Currently there's only one example JSON
|
||||
file, but each new device variant adding feature(s) that have specific
|
||||
support in device plugin, could have their own fake device config.
|
||||
|
||||
## Potential improvements
|
||||
|
||||
If support for mixed device environment is needed, tool can be updated
|
||||
to use node / configuration file mapping. Such mappings could be e.g.
|
||||
in configuration files themselves as node name include / exlude lists,
|
||||
and tool would use first configuration file matching the node it's
|
||||
running on. For now, one would need to use different pod / config
|
||||
specs for different nodes to achieve that...
|
||||
|
||||
Currently JSON config file options and the generated files are tied to
|
||||
what GPU plugin uses, but if needed, they could be changed to fake
|
||||
also sysfs + devfs device files used by other plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
## Related tools
|
||||
|
||||
[fakedev-exporter](#https://github.com/intel/fakedev-exporter) project
|
||||
can be used to schedule suitably configured fake workloads on the fake
|
||||
devices, and to provide provide fake activity metrics for them to
|
||||
Prometheus, that look like they were reported by real Prometheus
|
||||
metric exporters for real workloads running on real devices.
