#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **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 VPP releases.
-
- - **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.
-
- - **L2patch Tests**: Tests measure performance of VPP L2patch, the
- fastest L2 forwarding path implemented in VPP, that cross-links
- RX and TX of two physical interfaces.
-
- - **2-Node Tests**: A new baseline set of 2-node tests covering base
- ip4, ip6, l2patch, l2bd, l2xc, running on new Xeon Skylake
- testbeds.
-
- - **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.
-
- - **Simultaneous Multi-Threading**: SMT-aware detection of server
- processor operation mode (HyperThreading enabled/disabled) with
- associated compute resource configuration including thread
- affinity, number of Rx queues and DPDK I/O mbufs. Tests are
- automatically tagged during execution to indicate executed thread
- configuration.
-
- - **Intel Xeon Skylake Support**: Support for 2-Node and 3-Node
- physical testbed topologies based on the new SuperMirco servers
- each with two Intel Xeon Skylake Platinum processors. Full
- Ansible playbooks refactor for quick server (re)installation and
- reference pointers of configuration.
+ - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
+ service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at
+ varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host
+ dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared
+ vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies,
+ and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV
+ service configurations.
-#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
+ - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework
+ code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery
+ at given PLR and at give total test time e.g. minutes, hours,
+ days, weeks, months, years. See updated
+ :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details.
+
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Performance trending**: Further improvements of continuous
- performance trending, anomaly detection and analysis.
+ - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to
+ run containre_memif tests faster.
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK OPTIMIZATIONS
+ - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to
+ PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away
+ from VAT.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
removal of redundant RF keywords.
+#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
+
+ - **Graphs Layout Improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout
+ for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis
+ labels, descriptions, other informative decoration.
+
+#. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - **3n-dnv Tests (3rd Party)**: Published performance tests for 3n-
+ dnv (3-Node Atom Denverton) from 3rd party testbeds running FD.io
+ |csit-release| automated testing code.
+ Only graphs for Packet Throughput and Speedup Multi-core and not
+ for Packet Latency were published as there are no results for Packet
+ Latency available.
