Argo-Workflow-Test

An Argo Workflow that takes in a photo, scans it for faces and produces a 3D obj rendering for each face detected. Our project uses Ageitgey's face_recognition to detect individual faces within a photo, YadiaraF's PRNet to create a 3D Face Reconstruction, and various other bash commands inside of Ubuntu and Debian containers for most of the other pods. This project uses various new Argo Workflow features such as conditional deployments, parallelism, custom resources, and loops. Our project also utilizes kubeflow and tensorflow in order to run PRNet. PRNet uses CUDA which requires access to a GPU (We use the NVIDIA Tesla P100). In order to run our workflow at high performance we used a GKE cluster.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

In order to run our project you must have the following installed.

• Argo

argo version
argo: v2.1.1
  BuildDate: 2018-05-29T20:38:37Z
  GitCommit: ac241c95c13f08e868cd6f5ee32c9ce273e239ff
  GitTreeState: clean
  GitTag: v2.1.1
  GoVersion: go1.9.3
  Compiler: gc

• Kubectl

kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"11", GitVersion:"v1.11.0", GitCommit:"91e7b4fd31fcd3d5f436da26c980becec37ceefe", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-06-27T22:29:25Z", GoVersion:"go1.10.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"10+", GitVersion:"v1.10.5-gke.3", GitCommit:"6265b9797fc8680c8395abeab12c1e3bad14069a", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-07-19T23:02:51Z", GoVersion:"go1.9.3b4", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

• Ksonnet

ks version
ksonnet version: 0.12.0-rc1
jsonnet version: v0.10.0
client-go version:

• Kubeflow

Instructions for deploying kubeflow can be found here

• Kubernetes Cluster w/ NVIDIA GPU's enabled

For GKE users, GPU deployment can be found here

For other users, make sure you have the NVIDIA driver set up in your cluster. The following command will install a Daemeonset with the driver which is needed in order to utilize the limits: nvidia.com/gpu: 1 line in the yaml.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-engine-accelerators/stable/nvidia-driver-installer/cos/daemonset-preloaded.yaml

Custom images

This project uses some custom docker images in the workflow. The face recognition project can be found here

Deploy Our Project

git clone https://github.com/EliZucker/Argo-Workflow-Test
cd Argo-Workflow-Test
# image must be publicly available on the internet
argo submit demo.yaml -p image-url="yourimagehere.jpg"
