docs(concepts): add a Concepts section with SVG diagrams - #940
Adds a Concepts section to the docs, as proposed and agreed in #689. The concept pages used to sit under "Design and develop" next to contributor design docs, and the most visible ones were only a few lines long. This PR groups the user-facing pages under Concepts, fills the gaps, and redraws the diagrams as SVG (#437).
Sidebar: "What is HAMi?" moves to the top of the docs sidebar. Get started and Concepts are collapsed by default. let’s see what everyone thinks.
What is HAMi?
Get started

AI assistance disclosure
The source code checks, the diagrams, and the initial drafts of the new text were done with the assistance of Claude Code. I reviewed and edited the result myself.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Expanded and reorganized English and Chinese guides covering HAMi architecture, GPU scheduling, monitoring, device sharing and isolation, GPU drivers, and device plugins versus DRA.
Added practical explanations of resource requests, scheduling policies, metrics, and runtime limits, with links to related setup and reference material.
Added and updated diagrams, including light- and dark-theme versions, to illustrate GPU workflows, sharing, isolation, and ecosystem integrations.
Updated the documentation navigation to group core concepts and background topics more clearly.

- Line 1: Remove the misleading direct edge from kube-scheduler to
hami-device-plugin, or replace it with the documented
kubelet/device-registration path. Apply the same diagram correction to all four
light and dark English and Chinese ecosystem integration diagrams; use the edge
cell c45 and endpoint cells c12 and c34 to locate the change.
Review comments at @static/img/docs/en/core-concepts/gpu-stack.drawio:
- Line 1: Move the `MIG` item out of Layer 3 in the `gpu-stack` diagram and
place it in Layer 1 to reflect that it is a GPU partitioning technology, or
replace it with a concrete user-space MIG management component. Regenerate the
matching light and dark English and Chinese SVG exports from the updated
diagram.
Review comments at
@static/img/docs/en/core-concepts/resource-isolation-dark.drawio:
- Line 1: Update the HAMi-Core allocation check in each resource-isolation
diagram to use the same current-usage value shown by its usage bar (2800 MiB),
keeping the 3000 MiB limit and requested 1024 MiB allocation consistent across
the English and Chinese, light and dark variants.

Walkthrough
The documentation update reorganizes the Concepts section and expands English and Chinese coverage of HAMi architecture, device APIs, scheduling, sharing, isolation, observability, and GPU background topics. It also adds themed diagrams and handling for paired light- and dark-theme images.
Changes: Core concepts and navigation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Introduction and navigation docs/core-concepts/introduction.md, i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/core-concepts/introduction.md, sidebars.js, i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current.json, static/img/docs/{en,zh}/core-concepts/hami-before-after*.drawio
The introduction pages explain whole-GPU allocation, link to related guides, and summarize the HAMi workflow. Navigation reorganizes the Concepts section and adds the GPU allocation comparison illustrations.
Architecture and device APIs docs/core-concepts/architecture.md, docs/core-concepts/device-plugin-and-dra.md, i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/core-concepts/{architecture,device-plugin-and-dra}.md, static/img/docs/{en,zh}/core-concepts/{hami-architecture-flow*,device-plugin-vs-dra*}.drawio
Architecture guides describe Pod admission, GPU selection, device-plugin injection, and HAMi-Core enforcement. Device-plugin and DRA guides compare device information flows, describe HAMi-DRA resource claims, and list its requirements.
Scheduling, sharing, and isolation docs/core-concepts/scheduling.md, docs/key-features/{device-sharing,device-resource-isolation}.md, i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/{core-concepts/scheduling.md,key-features/device-sharing.md,key-features/device-resource-isolation.md}, static/img/docs/{en,zh}/core-concepts/{scheduling-policies*,device-sharing*,sharing-compare*,memory-isolation*,compute-isolation*,resource-isolation*}.drawio
The guides document card filtering and scheduling policies, GPU request budgets and defaults, and HAMi-Core memory and compute enforcement. The illustrations show the related allocation, policy, and enforcement flows.
The guides distinguish scheduler allocation metrics from container and host usage metrics, document their endpoints and data sources, and describe reasons for differences between the values.
GPU stack and driver background docs/core-concepts/{gpu-stack,gpu-driver}.md, i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/core-concepts/{gpu-stack,gpu-driver}.md, static/img/docs/{en,zh}/core-concepts/{gpu-stack*,gpu-driver*,gpu-chain-*}.drawio
The pages describe the GPU stack and driver modules, and replace several Mermaid diagrams with themed illustrations of GPU layers and call chains.
Image handling pairs adjacent light- and dark-theme variants for figure numbering and styling. CSS hides each variant when it does not match the active theme.

Review comments at @docs/core-concepts/device-plugin-and-dra.md:
- Around line 30-36: Update the DRA API object description and table in the
device-plugin-and-dra documentation to include ResourceClaimTemplate, or clarify
that the table covers only objects used in the described flow. Apply the same
correction to the v2.10.0 versioned documentation and both Chinese copies.
Review comments at @docs/core-concepts/hami-architecture.md:
- Line 189: Update the architecture diagram so the HDP injection edge targets a
container node rather than GPU Hardware, while keeping device assignment to GPU
Hardware separate. Apply the same diagram correction in the specified translated
and versioned copies, using the English documentation as the source of truth.
Review comments at @docs/key-features/device-sharing.md:
- Line 37: Update the Memory statement to qualify that container memory must fit
within physical card memory when nvidia.deviceMemoryScaling is at its default
value of 1, and note that values above 1 allow virtual-memory oversubscription.
- Line 25: Update the `nvidia.com/gpu` description to define its value as the
number of HAMi vGPU allocations, not physical GPUs, and clarify that multiple
allocations may use slots on the same card.
Review comments at
@i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/key-features/device-sharing.md:
- Line 38: Update the 显存 rule in the device-sharing documentation to state that
the physical-card capacity limit applies when nvidia.deviceMemoryScaling is 1,
and clarify that a value greater than 1 enables virtual-memory over-allocation.
- Line 26: Update the `nvidia.com/gpu` entry in the device-sharing resource
table to describe the HAMi vGPU allocation quantity rather than the number of
physical GPUs, avoiding wording that implies allocations correspond to separate
physical cards.
Review comments at
@i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/version-v2.10.0/key-features/device-sharing.md:
- Line 26: Update the `nvidia.com/gpu` entry in the resource table to describe
the HAMi vGPU allocation count, not the number of physical GPUs; clarify that
requesting two allocates two vGPU units.
- Line 38: Clarify the VRAM total rule in the device-sharing documentation:
state that it applies when nvidia.deviceMemoryScaling is set to its default
value of 1, and note that higher scaling values allow virtual-memory
overcommitment.
Review comments at
@versioned_docs/version-v2.10.0/key-features/device-sharing.md:
- Line 37: Update the memory requirement in the device-sharing guidance to
clarify that all container memory must fit within the card’s physical memory
when `nvidia.deviceMemoryScaling` is set to its default value of 1, and qualify
how values above 1 affect that limit.
- Line 25: Update the `nvidia.com/gpu` table description to define the requested
value as a count of HAMi vGPU allocations, not physical GPUs, so allocation
units are clear.

HAMi uses a specific color code,
and there should be a consistent font so that the entire project maintains a cohesive look.
Therefore, using images that follow these rules, rather than fancy LLM-generated images, will help maintain consistency.
Also, the repo is constantly being updated.
I think providing code, rather than just images, makes it easier to update the visuals… for example, in mermaid format, etc.
But I’m not sure how that would look.
I think it’s important that all visuals comply with these guidelines.

- Line 20: Clarify the step 2 description by stating that the device plugin
sends a device list to kubelet through ListAndWatch, and kubelet publishes the
device count in node status. Then explain that the scheduler sees only that
count, preserving the existing GPU and memory examples.

@versioned_docs/version-v2.10.0/key-features/device-resource-isolation.md:
- Line 28: Qualify the `/etc/ld.so.preload` behavior in the device resource
isolation documentation: state that it applies to dynamically linked processes
and that statically linked executables do not load HAMi-Core through this
preload and are not covered by its interception. Update the corresponding
English and Chinese documentation copies while preserving the existing CUDA/NVML
interception description.

During the last Chinese community meeting, we discussed the website and HAMi README file:
Simplify the homepage to introduce HAMi in 1–2 minutes. Improve architecture and GPU virtualization docs, add Architecture and Background sections, and convert diagrams to SVG.
Add feature compatibility labels for HAMi, DRA, and Volcano, and improve documentation, especially Volcano integration.
Streamline the README to highlight device orchestration and topology-aware scheduling. Update the event list or link to the website.
@rootsongjc Thanks! These diagrams are SVGs generated directly by Claude Opus 5.5, so each .svg file in static/img/docs/{en,zh}/core-concepts/ is its own source and can be edited as text.
I'm now updating them to the color palette in the brand guide (#955), and adding a dark version so they match the site's dark theme. Here is a preview of two of them:
@moezdil I left a review on #955 about dark mode. I'll finish the remaining diagrams once the guide is settled.

Oh, I thought there would be a interpret layer which can be read and edit by human, such as Mermaid, Drawio, OmniGraffle and so on.
@rootsongjc I had also tried Mermaid with a HAMi theme for these, and the auto layout couldn't get close to this look.
An idea: the brand guide in #955 already gives the colors and fonts, and its "For hand-written SVG" part could also cover how to draw them: layout rules, a few light/dark pairs as examples, and a small check for colors and fonts. Then the guide plus the SVG would be that layer. To change a diagram, you describe the change to any mainstream model with the guide, and get the same style back. The final layout still needs a human look. WDYT?

To be more concrete: we could package the guide as a skill, so any mainstream model can load it and draw or edit HAMi diagrams in the same style. The skill could also have the model check the HAMi source repo before drawing, so components and call paths match the code.
All 18 diagrams now have draw.io sources. Each .drawio file sits next to its exported SVG in static/img/docs/{en,zh}/core-concepts/, so a word or a box can be changed in draw.io without an LLM.
Each diagram has a dark version, referenced as foo.svg#light-only and foo-dark.svg#dark-only, with two rules in custom.css. imageFigureNumber.js keeps one caption per pair.
Scope
The PR now changes next only. I removed all changes to the v2.10.0 snapshot, following the no-backport rule in AGENTS.md.
