+Test Environment
+================

+.. _test_environment_versioning:
+
+Environment Versioning
+----------------------
+
+CSIT test environment versioning has been introduced to track
+modifications of the test environment.
+
+Any benchmark anomalies (progressions, regressions) between releases of
+a DUT application (e.g. VPP, DPDK), are determined by testing it in the
+same test environment, to avoid test environment changes clouding the
+picture.
+To beter distinguish impact of test environment changes,
+we also execute tests without any SUT (just with TRex TG sending packets
+over a link looping back to TG).
+
+A mirror approach is introduced to determine benchmarking anomalies due
+to the test environment change. This is achieved by testing the same DUT
+application version between releases of CSIT test system. This works
+under the assumption that the behaviour of the DUT is deterministic
+under the test conditions.
+
+CSIT test environment versioning scheme ensures integrity of all the
+test system components, including their HW revisions, compiled SW code
+versions and SW source code, within a specific CSIT version. Components
+included in the CSIT environment versioning include:
+
+- **HW** Server hardware firmware and BIOS (motherboard, processsor,
+ NIC(s), accelerator card(s)), tracked in CSIT branch.
+- **Linux** Server Linux OS version and configuration, tracked in CSIT
+ Reports.
+- **TRex** TRex Traffic Generator version, drivers and configuration
+ tracked in TG Settings.
+- **CSIT** CSIT framework code tracked in CSIT release branches.
+
+Following is the list of CSIT versions to date:

+Pre-Test Server Calibration
+---------------------------
+
+Number of SUT server sub-system runtime parameters have been identified
+as impacting data plane performance tests. Calibrating those parameters
+is part of FD.io CSIT pre-test activities, and includes measuring and
+reporting following:
+
+#. System level core jitter - measure duration of core interrupts by
+ Linux in clock cycles and how often interrupts happen. Using
+ `CPU core jitter tool <https://git.fd.io/pma_tools/tree/jitter>`_.
+
+#. Memory bandwidth - measure bandwidth with `Intel MLC tool
+ <https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intelr-memory-latency-checker>`_.
+
+#. Memory latency - measure memory latency with Intel MLC tool.
+
+#. Cache latency at all levels (L1, L2, and Last Level Cache) - measure
+ cache latency with Intel MLC tool.
+
+Measured values of listed parameters are especially important for
+repeatable zero packet loss throughput measurements across multiple
+system instances. Generally they come useful as a background data for
+comparing data plane performance results across disparate servers.
+
+Following sections include measured calibration data for testbeds.

+SUT Settings - Linux
+--------------------
+
+System provisioning is done by combination of PXE boot unattented
+install and
+`Ansible <https://www.ansible.com>`_ described in `CSIT Testbed Setup`_.
+
+Linux Boot Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- **isolcpus=<cpu number>-<cpu number>** used for all cpu cores apart from
+ first core of each socket used for running VPP worker threads and Qemu/LXC
+ processes
+ https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
+- **intel_pstate=disable** - [X86] Do not enable intel_pstate as the default
+ scaling driver for the supported processors. Intel P-State driver decide what
+ P-state (CPU core power state) to use based on requesting policy from the
+ cpufreq core. [X86 - Either 32-bit or 64-bit x86]
+ https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cpu-freq/intel-pstate.txt
+- **nohz_full=<cpu number>-<cpu number>** - [KNL,BOOT] In kernels built with
+ CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, set the specified list of CPUs whose tick will be stopped
+ whenever possible. The boot CPU will be forced outside the range to maintain
+ the timekeeping. The CPUs in this range must also be included in the
+ rcu_nocbs= set. Specifies the adaptive-ticks CPU cores, causing kernel to
+ avoid sending scheduling-clock interrupts to listed cores as long as they have
+ a single runnable task. [KNL - Is a kernel start-up parameter, SMP - The
+ kernel is an SMP kernel].
+ https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/timers/NO_HZ.txt
+- **rcu_nocbs** - [KNL] In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, set the
+ specified list of CPUs to be no-callback CPUs, that never queue RCU callbacks
+ (read-copy update).
+ https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
+- **numa_balancing=disable** - [KNL,X86] Disable automatic NUMA balancing.
+- **intel_iommu=enable** - [DMAR] Enable Intel IOMMU driver (DMAR) option.
+- **iommu=on, iommu=pt** - [x86, IA-64] Disable IOMMU bypass, using IOMMU for
+ PCI devices.
+- **nmi_watchdog=0** - [KNL,BUGS=X86] Debugging features for SMP kernels. Turn
+ hardlockup detector in nmi_watchdog off.
+- **nosoftlockup** - [KNL] Disable the soft-lockup detector.
+- **tsc=reliable** - Disable clocksource stability checks for TSC.
+ [x86] reliable: mark tsc clocksource as reliable, this disables clocksource
+ verification at runtime, as well as the stability checks done at bootup.
+ Used to enable high-resolution timer mode on older hardware, and in
+ virtualized environment.
+- **hpet=disable** - [X86-32,HPET] Disable HPET and use PIT instead.
+
+Hugepages Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Huge pages are managed via sysctl configuration located in
+`/etc/sysctl.d/90-csit.conf` on each testbed. Default huge page size is 2M.
+The exact amount of huge pages depends on testbed. All the values are defined
+in `Ansible inventory - hosts` files.
