#. 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.
+ - **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.
-#. PRESENTATION AND ANALYTICS LAYER
+ - **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.
- - **Performance trending**: Further improvements of continuous
- performance trending, anomaly detection and analysis.
+ - **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.
+
+ - **K8s/Ligato in Trending**: Added K8s/Ligato Container memif tests
+ to daily trending.
+
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+
+ - **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.
+
+ - **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 OPTIMIZATIONS
+ - **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.
+
+ - **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").
- **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. Master report
+ generated. 744 graphs(!)
+
+
+ - **Performance Trending**: Further improvements of continuous
+ performance trending, anomaly detection and analysis.
