+|Memory Bandwidth |
+| |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC012_Memory Bandwidth |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metric | Megabyte per second (MBps) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | Measure the rate at which data can be read from and written |
+| | to the memory (this includes all levels of memory). |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | File: opnfv_yardstick_tc012.yaml |
+| | |
+| | * SLA (optional): 15000 (MBps) min_bw: The minimum amount of |
+| | memory bandwidth that is accepted. |
+| | * Size: 10 240 kB - test allocates twice that size (20 480kB)|
+| | zeros it and then measures the time it takes to copy from |
+| | one side to another. |
+| | * Benchmark: rdwr - measures the time to read data into |
+| | memory and then write data to the same location. |
+| | * Warmup: 0 - the number of iterations to perform before |
+| | taking actual measurements. |
+| | * Iterations: 10 - test is run 10 times iteratively. |
+| | * Interval: 1 - there is 1 second delay between each |
+| | iteration. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test tool | Lmbench |
+| | |
+| | Lmbench is a suite of operating system microbenchmarks. This |
+| | test uses bw_mem tool from that suite. |
+| | Lmbench is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | needs to be installed in the test image. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|references | man-pages_ |
+| | |
+| | McVoy, Larry W., and Carl Staelin. "lmbench: Portable Tools |
+| | for Performance Analysis." USENIX annual technical |
+| | conference. 1996. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | Test can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * memory sizes; |
+| | * memory operations (such as rd, wr, rdwr, cp, frd, fwr, |
+| | fcp, bzero, bcopy); |
+| | * number of warmup iterations; |
+| | * iterations and intervals. |
+| | |
+| | There are default values for each above-mentioned option. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |
+|conditions | with Lmbench included in the image. |
+| | |
+| | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | The host is installed as client. Lmbench's bw_mem tool is |
+| | invoked and logs are produced and stored. |
+| | |
+| | Result: logs are stored. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Test fails if the measured memory bandwidth is below the SLA |
+| | value or if there is a test case execution problem. |
+| | |
