Cyborg architecture

Cyborg design can be described by following diagram:

cyborg-api - cyborg-api is a cyborg service that provides REST API interface for the Cyborg project. It supports POST/PUT/DELETE/GET operations and interacts with cyborg-agent and cyborg-db via cyborg-conductor.

cyborg-conductor - cyborg-conductor is a cyborg service that coordinates interaction, DB access between cyborg-api and cyborg-agent.

cyborg-agent - cyborg-agent is a cyborg service that is responsible for interaction with accelerator backends via the Cyborg Driver. For now the only implementation in play is the Cyborg generic Driver. It will also handle the communication with the Nova placement service. Cyborg-Agent will also write to a local cache for local accelerator events.

cyborg-generic-driver - cyborg-generic-driver is a general multipurpose driver with the common set of capabilities that any accelerators will have.
