Virtual Environment and Tool-boxing for Trustworthy Development of RISC-V based Cloud Services

Descrizione del progetto

Approcci innovativi per l’affidabilità di servizi cloud basati su RISC-V

I sistemi cloud commerciali si avvalgono di alcune funzionalità hardware, tra cui la virtualizzazione, la crittografia e la vettorizzazione, che attualmente non sono disponibili negli ambienti virtuali RISC-V. Il progetto Vitamin-V, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà uno stack software RISC-V open-source completo per servizi cloud con prestazioni ISO per la controparte x86 che domina il settore cloud. Il progetto svilupperà anche un potente ambiente di esecuzione virtuale per lo sviluppo, la convalida e la verifica del software, per le suite di software cloud e per i test che tengono conto delle estensioni dell’architettura delle serie di istruzioni RISC-V rilevanti per l’implementazione del cloud. Vitamin-V assisterà tre ambienti virtuali (piattaforme prototipo QEMU, gem5 e cloud-FPGA) e svilupperà approcci innovativi per la convalida, la verifica e il collaudo dell’affidabilità del software.

Obiettivo

Vitamin-V aims to develop a complete RISC-V open-source software stack for cloud services with iso-performance to the cloud-dominant x86 counterpart and a powerful virtual execution environment for software development, validation, verification, and test that considers the relevant RISC-V ISA extensions for cloud deployment.
Specifically, commercial cloud systems make use of hardware features that are currently unavailable in RISC-V virtual environments (not to mention the lack of specific RISC-V hardware). These features include the virtualization, cryptography and vectorization for which Vitamin-V will add support in three virtual environments: QEMU, gem5 and cloud-FPGA prototype platforms. Vitamin-V focuses and will provide support for EPI-based RISC-V designs for both the main CPUs and cloud-important accelerators (for memory compression). We will add the compiler (LLVM-based) and toolchain support for the ISA extensions. Moreover, novel approaches for the validation, verification, and test of software trustworthiness will be developed considering.
Vitamin-V will port and evaluate several cutting-edge VMMs and container suites (i.e. VOSySmonitor, KVM, QEMU, Docker, RustVMM, Kata containers), cloud management software (i.e. OpenStack, and Kubernetes) together with their software and libraries dependencies (e.g. JVM, Python); and AI (i.e Tensorflow) and BigData applications (Apache Spark). These software suites are representative of the three cloud setups that will be demonstrated: classical (OpenStack), modern (Kubernetes), and serverless (RustVMM, Kata, Kubernetes).
The cloud setups will be benchmarked against relevant AI (i.e. Google Net, ResBet, VGG19), BigData (TPC-DS), and Serverless applications (FunctionBench, ServerlessBench). Vitamin-V aims to match the software performance of its x86 equivalent while contributing to RISC-V open-source virtual environments, software validation and cloud software suites.
