SONM’s code is now stored in a single repository on Github, rather than on multiple repositories.
SONM successfully integrated the Discovery Algorithm and produced a video introducing the technology.
SONM researched and implemented a new NAT and routing solution at Hub (IPVS). This will allow for general case traffic handling and port forwarding, among other functions.
SONM researched and activated GPU support for applications (currently in use for nVidia).
SONM integrated a configuration scheme using YAML format configuration files.
SONM implemented a metrics collection system.
SONM introduced a system that restricts resources for application containers (cgroups) connected to mining.
