Presentation and Analytics Layer + + - Added throughput speedup analysis for multi-core and multi-thread + VPP tests into Presentation and Analytics Layer (PAL) for automated + CSIT test results analysis; + +#. Other improvements + + - **Framework optimizations** + + - Ability to run CSIT framework on ARM architecture. + + - Overall stability improvements. + +Performance Improvements ------------------------ -Substantial improvements in measured packet throughput, with relative increase -of double-digit percentage points, have been observed in a number of CSIT -|release| tests listed below. Relative improvements are calculated against the -test results in CSIT rls1701 report. +Substantial improvements in measured packet throughput have been observed in a +number of CSIT |release| tests listed below, with relative increase of +double-digit percentage points. Relative improvements for this release are +calculated against the test results listed in CSIT |release-1| report. The +comparison is calculated between the mean values based on collected and +archived test results' samples for involved VPP releases. Standard deviation +has been also listed for CSIT |release|.
