#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **BMRR Throughput**: MRR (Maximum Receive Rate) test code has been
- updated with a configurable burst MRR parameters: trial duration
- and number of trials in a single burst. Enables a new Burst MRR
- (BMRR for short) methodology for more precise performance
- trending. See updated :ref:`performance_test_methodology` section
- for more details.
-
- - **2n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 2n-skx (2-Node Xeon
- Skylake) testbeds: focus on baseline and scale tests, including
- VM vhost and Container memif tests.
-
- - **3n-skx tests**: Added performamce tests for 3n-skx (3-Node Xeon
- Skylake) testbeds: VM vhost and Container memif tests.
-
- - **VXLAN Scale Tests**: Added performamce tests for VXLAN scale with
- dot1q and VPP L2BD.
-
- - **AVF Driver Tests**: Added performamce tests for i40e AVF driver
- on VPP, no DPDK required.
-
- - **QAT**: Fixed reoccuring issues with QAT crypto accelerator cards.
-
- - **VM Vhost Virtio Params Combinations**: Added performance tests
- for VM vhost with different virtio parameters combinations:
- indirect buffers, mergeable buffers.
-
- - **K8s/Ligato in Trending**: Added K8s/Ligato Container memif tests
- to daily trending.
-
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+ - **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.
- **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:`performance_test_methodology` section for more details.
-
- - **Trending Tests BMRR**: Used new Burst MRR (BMRR) tests for daily
- trending.
+ :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details.
- - **Per VPP Patch Performance Checks**: Per VPP gerrit patch vs.
- parent performance tests, anomaly detection and no verify voting
- (-1/0/+1) yet. Manual trigger only. Not "marketed" to FD.io
- community yet to avoid excessive LFN FD.io physical performance
- testbed blocking.
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Patch-on-Patch Infra**: Added capability to run performance tests
- using CSIT gerrit patch code testing VPP gerrit patch code, i.e.
- before any VPP and/or CSIT code is merged into git branch.
+ - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to
+ run containre_memif tests faster.
- - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Initial implementation of PAPI L1 KWs in
- CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migraing away from
- VAT. Very few L1 KWs implemented ("show version", "show
- interfaces").
+ - **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.
- **Graphs Layout Improvements**: Improved performance graphs layout
for better readibility and maintenance: test grouping, axis
- labels, descriptions, other informative decoration. Master report
- generated. 744 graphs(!)
-
- - **Performance Trending**: Further improvements of continuous
- performance trending, anomaly detection and analysis.
+ labels, descriptions, other informative decoration.
