CSIT-992: Add libraries for optimized search
+ Place the libraries into resources/libraries/python/search/. + Except OptimizedTrexSearch in TrafficGenerator.py + Change traffic generator to support floats for duration and warmup. + Remove explicit type conversions where not needed. + Add robot keywords to performance_utils.robot + for calling the optimized search. + for reporting the resulting values. + for checking the minimal performance has been reached. + for running five second "Traffic should pass with no loss" after the search. - Add methodology documentation in subsequent Change. - Add simulator for testing algorithm correctness in a subsequent Change. - Add tests using the libraries in subsequent Change. Change-Id: Ia041008382ee4c9a562172099aea794c854d5f2f Signed-off-by: Vratko Polak <vrpolak@cisco.com>

+ """Optimized binary search algorithm for finding NDR and PDR bounds.
+
+ Traditional binary search algorithm needs initial interval
+ (lower and upper bound), and returns final interval after bisecting
+ (until some exit condition is met).
+ The exit condition is usually related to the interval width,
+ (upper bound value minus lower bound value).
+
+ The optimized algorithm contains several improvements
+ aimed to reduce overall search time.
+
+ One improvement is searching for two intervals at once.
+ The intervals are for NDR (No Drop Rate) and PDR (Partial Drop Rate).
+
+ Next improvement is that the initial interval does need to be valid.
+ Imagine initial interval (10, 11) where 11 is smaller
+ than the searched value.
+ The algorithm will try (11, 13) interval next, and if 13 is still smaller,
+ (13, 17) and so on, doubling width until the upper bound is valid.
+ The part when interval expands is called external search,
+ the part when interval is bisected is called internal search.
+
+ Next improvement is that trial measurements at small trial duration
+ can be used to find a reasonable interval for full trial duration search.
+ This results in more trials performed, but smaller overall duration
+ in general.
+
+ Next improvement is bisecting in logarithmic quantities,
+ so that exit criteria can be independent of measurement units.
+
+ Next improvement is basing the initial interval on receive rates.
+
+ Final improvement is exiting early if the minimal value
+ is not a valid lower bound.
+
+ The complete search consist of several phases,
+ each phase performing several trial measurements.
+ Initial phase creates initial interval based on receive rates
+ at maximum rate and at maximum receive rate (MRR).
+ Final phase and preceding intermediate phases are performing
+ external and internal search steps,
+ each resulting interval is the starting point for the next phase.
+ The resulting interval of final phase is the result of the whole algorithm.
+
+ Each non-initial phase uses its own trial duration and width goal.
+ Any non-initial phase stops searching (for NDR or PDR independently)
+ when minimum is not a valid lower bound (at current duration),
+ or all of the following is true:
+ Both bounds are valid, bound bounds are measured at the current phase
+ trial duration, interval width is less than the width goal
