System level core jitter – measure duration of core interrupts by + Linux in clock cycles and how often interrupts happen.

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 Intel Xeon +Haswell and Intel Xeon Skylake testbeds. diff --git a/docs/report/introduction/test_environment_sut_calib_hsw.rst b/docs/report/introduction/test_environment_sut_calib_hsw.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b5ebdd25e5 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/report/introduction/test_environment_sut_calib_hsw.rst @@ -0,0 +1,223 @@ +Calibration Data - Haswell +-------------------------- + +Following sections include sample calibration data measured on t1-sut1 +server running in one of the Intel Xeon Haswell testbeds as specified in +`CSIT/Testbeds: Xeon Hsw, VIRL +<https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/Testbeds:_Xeon_Hsw,_VIRL.#FD.io_CSIT_testbeds_-_Xeon_Haswell.2C_VIRL>`_. + +Calibration data obtained from all other servers in Haswell testbeds +shows the same or similar values. + + +Linux cmdline +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + $ cat /proc/cmdline + BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.4.0-72-generic root=UUID=efb7e8b3-3548-4440-98f6-6ebe102e9ec6 ro isolcpus=1-17,19-35 nohz_full=1-17,19-35 rcu_nocbs=1-17,19-35 intel_pstate=disable console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 + + +Linux uname +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + $ uname -a + Linux t3-sut2 4.4.0-72-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 31 14:07:41 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux + + +System-level core jitter +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +:: + + $ sudo taskset -c 3 /home/testuser/pma_tools/jitter/jitter -i 30 + Linux Jitter testing program version 1.8 + Iterations=30 + The pragram will execute a dummy function 80000 times + Display is updated every 20000 displayUpdate intervals + Timings are in CPU Core cycles + Inst_Min: Minimum Excution time during the display update interval(default is ~1 second) + Inst_Max: Maximum Excution time during the display update interval(default is ~1 second) + Inst_jitter: Jitter in the Excution time during rhe display update interval.
