TEST FRAMEWORK - - |csit-release| tested DPDK-18.05, as used by |vpp-release|. + - **CSIT test environment** version has been updated to ver. 10, see + :ref:`test_environment_versioning`. -#. **DPDK performance tests** +#. DPDK 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 DPDK releases. + - **Arm Ampere Altra**: Performance test data for these platforms + is now provided by testbeds newly installed in FD.io CSIT labs. + For details about the physical setup see + :ref:`physical_testbeds_3n_alt`. - - **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. +.. _dpdk_known_issues: - - **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. -
