I would like to add remote-gpu feature.

sth was done in lupine-repo: https://github.com/lupinemachines/lupine/pulls?q=is%3Apr+state%3Aclosed+author%3Amesutoezdil

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for scheduling workloads on GPUs served remotely through Lupine.
    • Remote GPU pools are discovered across labeled server nodes, with configurable resource names and network ports.
    • Workloads can request GPU memory and receive connection settings automatically.
    • Added Helm configuration for enabling and customizing remote GPU scheduling; disabled by default.
    • Remote allocations remain confined to a single server and prevent conflicting concurrent use.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented remotely served GPUs from being treated as locally available GPUs.
    • Improved handling of unavailable, reserved, unhealthy, or undersized remote GPUs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a Remote GPU backend for Lupine-served GPUs. It adds configuration, cluster-wide discovery, reservation tracking, scheduler allocation, pod mutation, Helm resources, local-device filtering, and unit and integration tests.

Changes

Remote GPU scheduling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote GPU configuration
pkg/device/remotegpu/config.go, pkg/scheduler/config/*, charts/hami/...
Adds Remote GPU configuration, scheduler registration, validation, Helm values, device configuration, and managed resource entries.
Remote GPU pool discovery
pkg/device/remotegpu/pool.go, pkg/device/remotegpu/pool_test.go
Discovers Lupine nodes and GPU registrations, resolves endpoints, prefixes device IDs, tracks pod reservations, and retains prior snapshots after listing errors.
Remote GPU device backend
pkg/device/remotegpu/device.go, pkg/device/remotegpu/device_test.go
Implements resource parsing, admission environment injection, annotation patching, health handling, whole-card allocation, and refresh validation.
Local-device separation and scheduler validation
pkg/device/nvidia/*, pkg/scheduler/remotegpu_integration_test.go
Excludes remotely served GPUs from NVIDIA discovery and tests client-node registration, server-node exclusion, reservations, release behavior, and memory filtering.

A rabbit sees GPUs cross the wire,
Lupine cards join the scheduler choir.
Pools refresh and bookings hold,
Whole cards move as the paths unfold.
Local cards stay safely apart,
Remote GPUs now play their part.

another scheduling cycle can reuse them. Preserve pending claims across
pool.refresh calls until the pod annotations are observed, and release them when
binding or annotation persistence fails. Add an integration test that allocates

Comment thread pkg/device/remotegpu/pool.go Outdated
Schedule pods onto GPUs that live on another node, served over the network
by a lupine server. A client pod runs on a node with no GPU of its own and
reaches the fleet through LUPINE_SERVER.

The resource stays in resources.limits and is listed in the extender's
managedResources with ignoredByScheduler, so kube-scheduler still calls the
extender while skipping the node-fit check that would otherwise drop every
GPU-less node. Both names on that list come from the same values the device
config reads, so renaming a resource cannot leave it unlisted and silently
reinstate the check. No device plugin runs on the client node, so the
placement decision travels to the container as a downward API reference to
the hami.io/lupine-endpoint pod annotation.

A lupine node needs no new component: it runs the stock NVIDIA device plugin
and the pool reads its GPUs from the hami.io/node-nvidia-register annotation
it already publishes. The node opts in with the hami.io/lupine-server label,
whose value overrides the default port. Only the cards that node registers
in remote mode are taken, so a node part way through a switch does not offer
the same GPU here and to its own kubelet.

Devices are keyed <lupineNodeName>/<gpuUUID> so Fit can group candidates by
server and PatchAnnotations can resolve the endpoint. Allocation is confined
to a single server and hands out whole cards; the memory request filters
candidates rather than splitting one.

Unlike the other backends, the devices reported for a node are not owned by
that node, so the scheduler's per-node usage view cannot see a card booked
for a pod that landed on a different client node. The pool closes that gap
by reading allocations back from pod annotations cluster wide. Only pods
that actually landed count: Filter writes that annotation before Bind and
nothing clears it when Bind fails, so counting an unplaced pod would have it
reserve its own cards against its next attempt and never become schedulable
again. The window between the annotation and the binding is covered by a
booking instead, filed under the pod that took it and handed back through
ReleaseNodeLock when an attempt falls through.

For the same reason Fit re-reads the fleet before rejecting a pod over a
booking: a card freed moments earlier still reads as taken, and rejecting on
that would park the pod in kube-scheduler's unschedulable queue for minutes.
Only the servers that re-read leaves intact are retried, since one that lost
or gained a card is no longer the whole server the candidate described.

The read path runs on the scheduling hot path under a scheduler lock, so it
is bounded, served from the watch cache rather than etcd, and stamps its
attempt even when it fails, which keeps a hanging apiserver to one attempt
per TTL rather than one per node. A booking is only expired against a pod
list that actually ran. CheckHealth reports an update only once the fleet
has moved, because every client node is handed the same pool.

A node serving the pool, and a fleet with no server left, report zero devices
rather than an error, because Scheduler.register prunes a stale cache entry
only on a successful empty result. Reporting an error would leave a node
advertising GPUs it can no longer reach.

I think we need to refine the observability here, for now, if we query the scheduler allocation by using :31993, the usage of remote GPU pool is appended to each node, which means there will be M(remote GPU number) * N(nodes) entries.

we can export the pool directly to users, and use a separate metrics, apart from existing NodeUsage(hami_node_gpu_overview, hami_gpu_memory_allocated_bytes, etc..).

The lupine pool is handed to every client node, so the node-level metrics
(hami_node_gpu_overview, hami_gpu_memory_allocated_bytes and the rest) listed
each remote card once per client node, under a node that does not own it:
M cards times N nodes entries on :31993, and an allocation made through one
client node invisible in the copies reported for the others.

Remote cards are now left out of the node-level metrics and the pool is
exported once, keyed by the server that owns each card and the endpoint a
client connects to:

  hami_remote_gpu_memory_limit_bytes{server,endpoint,device_uuid,device_index,device_type}
  hami_remote_gpu_allocated{...}            1 if a pod holds the card, 0 if free
  hami_remote_gpu_overview{...,device_cores,device_memory_limit}

Allocation is read from the pool's cluster-wide reservation set, the same
answer Fit gets, so the metric agrees with what the next pod would be
offered rather than with the per-node view. A scrape reads the pool as it
last stood and never refreshes it, so it costs no API call. Per-container
metrics are unchanged: they carry one entry per allocation already.
