Intel NCS2 device plugin for Kubernetes

Intel NCS2 device plugin for Kubernetes

A Kubernetes device plugin for the Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2) / Intel Movidius MyriadX

Annotations

Annotations are produced for the per-device full device name, allowing for different device types to be explicitly targeted, regardless of their insertion order into the system:

# For a single device
ncs2.intel.com/MYRIAD.name: Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU

# For multiple devices
ncs2.intel.com/MYRIAD.0.name: Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU
...

Node Labels

Node labels are produced for the number of devices and per-device optimization capabilities:

intel.com/ncs2=<number of NCS2 devices>

# For a single device
ncs2.intel.com/MYRIAD.FP16=true

# For multiple devices
ncs2.intel.com/MYRIAD.0.FP16=true
...

USB Hotplug Event Reconciliation

Node labels and annotations are reconciled on the node each time a USB device is added or removed from the system. This can be seen below:
