+QTIP Architecture Design
+########################
+
+In Danube, QTIP releases its standalone mode, which is also know as ``solo``:
+
+.. figure:: _assets/standalone.png
+ :alt: QTIP standalone mode
+
+The runner could be launched from CLI (command line interpreter) or API
+(application programming interface) and drives the testing jobs. The generated
+data including raw performance data and testing environment are fed to collector.
+Performance metrics will be parsed from the raw data and used for QPI calculation.
+Then the benchmark report is rendered with the benchmarking results.
+
+The execution can be detailed in the diagram below:

+Compute QPI
+***********
+
+The compute QPI gives user an overall score for system compute performace.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+The compute QPI are calibrated a ZTE `E9000 <http://www.zte.com.cn/global/products/cocloud/cloud_computing/cloud_infrastructure/cloud_hw/429552>`_ server as a baseline with score of 2500 points.
+Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance.
+The compute QPI provides three different kinds of scores:
+
+* Workload Scores
+* Section Scores
+* Compute QPI Scores
+
+Baseline
+========
+
+ZTE E9000 server with an 2 Deca core Intel Xeon CPU processor,128560.0MB Memory.
+
+Workload Scores
+===============
+
+Each time a workload is executed QTIP calculates a score based on the computer's performance
+compared to the baseline performance.
+
+Section Scores
+==============
+
+QTIP uses a number of different tests, or workloads, to measure performance.
+The workloads are divided into five different sections:
+
++-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+| Section | Detail | Indication |
++=================+==============================================================+==========================================+
+| Integer | Integer workloads measure the integer instruction performace | All app relies on integer |
+| | of host or vm by performing Dhrystone test. | performance |
++-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+| Floating point | Floating point workloads measure the floating pointperfo | Floating point performance is especially |
+| | rmance by performing Whetstone test. | important in video games,digital content |
+| | | creation applications. |
++-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+| Memory | Memory workloads measure memory bandwidth by performing | Software working with cipher large |
+| | RamSpeed test. | amounts data relies on SSL Performace. |
++-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+| DPI | DPI workloads measure deep-packet inspection speed by | Software working with network packet |
+| | performing nDPI test. | anlysis relies on DPI performance. |
++-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+| SSL | SSL Performance workloads measure cipher speeds by | Software working with cipher large |
+| | using the OpenSSL tool. | amounts data relies on SSL Performace |
++-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+
+A section score is the `geometric mean <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean>`_ of all the workload scores for workloads
+that are part of the section. These scores are useful for determining the performance of
+the computer in a particular area.
+
+Compute QPI Scores
+==================
+
+The compute QPI score is the `weighted arithmetic mean <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_arithmetic_mean>`_ of the five section scores.
+The compute QPI score provides a way to quickly compare performance across different
+computers and different platforms without getting bogged down in details.

+Compute Suite
+=============
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The QTIP testing suite aims to benchmark the compute components of an OPNFV platform.
+Such components include, the CPU performance, the memory performance.
+Additionally virtual computing performance provided by the Hypervisor (KVM) installed as part of OPNFV platforms would be benchmarked too.
+
+The test suite consists of both synthetic and application specific benchmarks to test compute components.
+
+All the compute benchmarks could be run in 2 scenarios:
+
+1. On Baremetal Machines provisioned by an OPNFV installer (Host machines)
+2. On Virtual Machines brought up through OpenStack on an OPNFV platform
+
+Note: The Compute benchmank suite constains relatively old benchmarks such as dhrystone and whetstone. The suite would be updated for better benchmarks such as Linbench for the OPNFV C release.
+
+Benchmarks
+----------
+
+The benchmarks include:
+
+Dhrystone 2.1
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Dhrystone is a synthetic benchmark for measuring CPU performance. It uses integer calculations to evaluate CPU capabilities.
+Both Single CPU performance is measured along multi-cpu performance.
+
+
+Dhrystone, however, is a dated benchmark and has some short comings.
+Written in C, it is a small program that doesn't test the CPU memory subsystem.
+Additionally, dhrystone results could be modified by optimizing the compiler and insome cases hardware configuration.
+
+References: http://www.eembc.org/techlit/datasheets/dhrystone_wp.pdf
+
+Whetstone
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+Whetstone is a synthetic benchmark to measure CPU floating point operation performance.
+Both Single CPU performance is measured along multi-cpu performance.
+
+Like Dhrystone, Whetstone is a dated benchmark and has short comings.
+
+References:
+
+http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/whetstone.c
+
+OpenSSL Speed
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+OpenSSL Speed can be used to benchmark compute performance of a machine. In QTIP, two OpenSSL Speed benchmarks are incorporated:
+1. RSA signatunes/sec signed by a machine
+2. AES 128-bit encryption throughput for a machine for cipher block sizes
+
+References:
+
+https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/speed.html
+
+RAMSpeed
+^^^^^^^^
+
+RAMSpeed is used to measure a machine's memory perfomace.
+The problem(array)size is large enough to ensure Cache Misses so that the main machine memory is used.
+INTmem and FLOATmem benchmarks are executed in 4 different scenarios:
+
+a. Copy: a(i)=b(i)
+b. Add: a(i)=b(i)+c(i)
+c. Scale: a(i)=b(i)*d
+d. Tniad: a(i)=b(i)+c(i)*d
+
+INTmem uses integers in these four benchmarks whereas FLOATmem uses floating points for these benchmarks.

+
+DPI
+^^^
+
+nDPI is a modified variant of OpenDPI, Open source Deep packet Inspection, that is maintained by ntop.
+An example application called *pcapreader* has been developed and is available for use along nDPI.
+
+A sample .pcap file is passed to the *pcapreader* application.
+nDPI classifies traffic in the pcap file into different categories based on string matching.
+The *pcapreader* application provides a throughput number for the rate at which traffic was classified, indicating a machine's computational performance.
+The results are run 10 times and an average is taken for the obtained number.
+
+*nDPI may provide non consistent results and was added to Brahmaputra for experimental purposes*
