OpenStack Compute (nova)

support for sgi ultraviolet shared memory machines

Registered by Brian Schott

This blueprint proposes to add support for the SGI Ultra Violet (UV) shared memory machines. The goal is to allow openstack to launch virtual machines with a large number of cores and large amount of memory. Even with a standard X86_64 virtual machine image taken from a stock openstack glance repository, an instance could be provisioned with 64 cores and 256GB of memory without modification.
