Changes in |csit-release|
-------------------------
-#. **DPDK release version change**
- - |csit-release| tested DPDK-18.05, as used by |vpp-release|.
+#. DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS
-#. **DPDK performance tests**
+ - CSIT test environment is versioned, see
+ :ref:`test_environment_versioning`.
- - **MRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has now
- configurable trial duration and number of consecutive executions.
- Coverage of MRR tests has been extended across more test
- scenarios. MRR tests are used for continuous performance trending
- and for comparison between DPDK releases.
+ - **Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS**: Reinstall base operating system to Ubuntu
+ 20.04.2 LTS. Upgrade includes also baseline Docker containers used for
+ spawning topology.
- - **MLRsearch Throughput**: MLRsearch algorithm has been introduced
- for all NDR and PDR throughput tests. All tests that previously
- used binary search got converted to MLRsearch. Coverage of NDR/PDR
- tests has been extended across more test scenarios.
+#. DPDK RELEASE VERSION CHANGE
- - **2-Node Tests**: A new set of 2-node tests covering DPDK Testpmd
- and L3fwd, running on new Xeon Skylake testbeds.
+ - |csit-release| tested |dpdk-release|, as used by |vpp-release|.
- - **More NICs**: Increased coverage of NIC models tested: Intel-
- xxv710-da2, Intel-x710-da4.
-
- - **Generated tests**: Simplified and unified test structure, semi-
- autogenerated by generator script. Test generator is currently
- able to create test combinations with various frame size and
- cores combinations. All existing test cases were converted to new
- format.
-
-#. **Presentation and Analytics Layer**
-
- - **Performance trending**: Added continuous performance trending with
- anomaly detection and analysis for DPDK.
-
-Performance Changes
--------------------
-
-Relative performance changes in measured NDR, PDR and MRR packet
-throughput in |csit-release| are calculated against the test results
-from |csit-release-1| report, for tests running on 3-Node Intel Xeon
-Haswell testbeds (3n-hsw) in 1-core, 2-core and 4-core (MRR only)
-configurations.
-
-Listed mean and standard deviation values are computed based on a series
-of the same tests executed against respective VPP releases to verify
-test results repeatability, with percentage change calculated for mean
-values.
-
