===== DPACC Arch Discussion =====
          * [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O4rtCh1vbTOO5cMwmRwfv3UJb_bVWZrqXQS_-QJAk10/edit|dpacc architecture]]
         * review the comments made by Ola
           * It is clarified that hio enabling pass-through access to hardware is not capable to provide binary portability for VNFs. Since binary portability is specified as a should-have requirement for dpacc, it is acceptable to include hio with pass-through access to provide an option to a VNF for better performance. A note is added to Section 2.1.1.4.
           * Question raise to the SRL role in packet forwarding/switching path in Section 2.1.2.3. Suggestions are made to add packet flow chart/arrows to clarify the paths of different cases (e.g. where SRL does packet forwarding or switching and as depicted in Figure 4) to see if there is any remaining issues.
           * Question regarding confining hio@host to be accessed only by host SAL. The context is confined to host interface, there is another description for hio@guest in Section 2.1.1.4. 
         * Brief introduction of host AML in Section 2.1.2.5
===== Gap Openstack Discussion =====
[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_fOinIQNcPwNODZPzGK5vRMPJQLwL7iLds4NFnjXSms/edit|gap-openstack]]
           * Section 3 the architecture is described, where a dedicated management function is added for accelerator resource orchestration.
           * Section 5 gives a introduction of Openstack implementation, EPA features and clarifies the considerations for adding a standalone management controller instead of relying solely on Nova extensions.
         * A new openstack project Nomad is initiated to implement this idea and several organizations shows interest.
