Updated almost 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. 1 follower.

This is a follow up to https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/architecting-a-machine-learning-project-with-suse-caasp.

In the last hackweek I learned that in order to run machine learning workflows on top of SUSE CaaSP, the missing piece is to have libnvidia-containers and nvidia-containers-runtime-hook packaged.

Since then, nvidia has added the build for leap15 in libnvidia-container and nvidia-container-runtime.

However, none of them is released into the libnvidia-container repo nor nvidia-container-runtime repo.

This project is about packaging those two projects in the openSUSE Build Service for openSUSE Leap 15.1.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      Upstream (NVIDIA) uses Dockerfiles to build the packages for the other distros.

      Here a small experiment of building the SUSE Leap RPM with a Dockerfile within OBS:

      https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jordimassaguerpla:branches:openSUSE:Templates:Images:15.1/libnvidia-containers

      Result of the experiment. Using a Dockerfile works very good because you can develop and debug using "docker build" and then you can commit that to obs to have a build on a central location, store the sources, etc. etc.

      The issue is that the result is an image, it can't be the RPM. There is no "-v" option to mount a volume during the build. Thus, even you can build the image in obs, then you have to run the image to extract the RPM.

      obs=build.opensuse.org.

    ADS-B receiver with MicroOS by epaolantonio

    I would like to put one of my spare Raspberry Pis to good use, and what better way to see what flies above my head at any time? add-emoji

    There are various ready-to-use distros already set-up to provide feeder data to platforms like Flightradar24, ADS-B Exchange, FlightAware etc... The goal here would be to do it using MicroOS as a base and containerized decoding of ADS-B data (via tools like dump1090) and web frontend (tar1090).

    Goals

    • Create a working receiver using MicroOS as a base, and containers based on Tumbleweed
    • Make it easy to install
    • Optimize for maximum laziness (i.e. it should take care of itself with minimum intervention)

    Resources

    • 1x Small Board Computer capable of running MicroOS
    • 1x RTL2832U DVB-T dongle
    • 1x MicroSD card
    • https://github.com/antirez/dump1090
    • https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090 (dump1090 fork by FlightAware)
    • https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090

    Project status (2024-11-22)

    So I'd say that I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. I've packaged readsb (as a replacement for dump1090), tar1090, tar1090-db and mlat-client (not used yet).

    Current status:

    • Able to set-up a working receiver using combustion+ignition (web app based on Fuel Ignition)
    • Able to feed to various feeds using the Beast protocol (Airplanes.live, ADSB.fi, ADSB.lol, ADSBExchange.com, Flyitalyadsb.com, Planespotters.net)
    • Able to feed to Flightradar24 (initial-setup available but NOT tested! I've only tested using a key I already had)
    • Local web interface (tar1090) to easily visualize the results
    • Cockpit pre-configured to ease maintenance

    What's missing:

    • MLAT (Multilateration) support. I've packaged mlat-client already, but I have to wire it up
    • FlightAware support

    Enable the containerized Uyuni server to run on different host OS by j_renner

    Description

    The Uyuni server is provided as a container, but we still require it to run on Leap Micro? This is not how people expect to use containerized applications, so it would be great if we tested other host OSs and enabled them by providing builds of necessary tools for (e.g. mgradm). Interesting candidates should be:

    • openSUSE Leap
    • Cent OS 7
    • Ubuntu
    • ???

    Goals

    Make it really easy for anyone to run the Uyuni containerized server on whatever OS they want (with support for containers of course).

    Improve Development Environment on Uyuni by mbussolotto

    Description

    Currently create a dev environment on Uyuni might be complicated. The steps are:

    • add the correct repo
    • download packages
    • configure your IDE (checkstyle, format rules, sonarlint....)
    • setup debug environment
    • ...

    The current doc can be improved: some information are hard to be find out, some others are completely missing.

    Dev Container might solve this situation.

    Goals

    Uyuni development in no time:

    • using VSCode:
      • setting.json should contains all settings (for all languages in Uyuni, with all checkstyle rules etc...)
      • dev container should contains all dependencies
      • setup debug environment
    • implement a GitHub Workspace solution
    • re-write documentation

    Lots of pieces are already implemented: we need to connect them in a consistent solution.

    SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio

    Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
    A chameleon playing chess in a train car, as a metaphor of SUSE AI applied to games

    Results: Infrastructure Achievements

    We successfully built and automated a containerized stack to support our AI experiments. This included:

    A screenshot of k9s and nvtop showing PyTAG running in Kubernetes with GPU acceleration

    ./deploy.sh and voilà - Kubernetes running PyTAG (k9s, above) with GPU acceleration (nvtop, below)

    Results: Game Design Insights

    Our project focused on modeling and analyzing two card games of our own design within the TAG framework:

    • Game Modeling: We implemented models for Dario's "Bamboo" and Silvio's "Totoro" and "R3" games, enabling AI agents to play thousands of games ...in minutes!
    • AI-driven optimization: By analyzing statistical data on moves, strategies, and outcomes, we iteratively tweaked the game mechanics and rules to achieve better balance and player engagement.
    • Advanced analytics: Leveraging AI agents with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and random action selection, we compared performance metrics to identify optimal strategies and uncover opportunities for game refinement .

    Cards from the three games

    A family picture of our card games in progress. From the top: Bamboo, Totoro, R3

    Results: Learning, Collaboration, and Innovation

    Beyond technical accomplishments, the project showcased innovative approaches to coding, learning, and teamwork:

    • "Trio programming" with AI assistance: Our "trio programming" approach—two developers and GitHub Copilot—was a standout success, especially in handling slightly-repetitive but not-quite-exactly-copypaste tasks. Java as a language tends to be verbose and we found it to be fitting particularly well.
    • AI tools for reporting and documentation: We extensively used AI chatbots to streamline writing and reporting. (Including writing this report! ...but this note was added manually during edit!)
    • GPU compute expertise: Overcoming challenges with CUDA drivers and cloud infrastructure deepened our understanding of GPU-accelerated workloads in the open-source ecosystem.
    • Game design as a learning platform: By blending AI techniques with creative game design, we learned not only about AI strategies but also about making games fun, engaging, and balanced.

    Last but not least we had a lot of fun! ...and this was definitely not a chatbot generated line!

    The Context: AI + Board Games
