Whole memory hierarchy is measured. | -| | | -| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. | -| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for | -| | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding | -| | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations. | -| | | -+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ -|test tool | Lmbench | -| | | -| | Lmbench is a suite of operating system microbenchmarks. This | -| | test uses lat_mem_rd tool from that suite including: | -| | * Context switching | -| | * Networking: connection establishment, pipe, TCP, UDP, and | -| | RPC hot potato | -| | * File system creates and deletes | -| | * Process creation | -| | * Signal handling | -| | * System call overhead | -| | * Memory read latency | -| | | -| | (LMbench is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence | -| | it needs to be installed. As an example see the | -| | /yardstick/tools/ directory for how to generate a Linux | -| | image with LMbench included.) | -| | | -+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ -|test | LMbench lat_mem_rd benchmark measures memory read latency | -|description | for varying memory sizes and strides. | -| | | -| | The benchmark runs as two nested loops. The outer loop is | -| | the stride size. The inner loop is the array size. For each | -| | array size, the benchmark creates a ring of pointers that | -| | point backward one stride.Traversing the array is done by: | -| | | -| | p = (char **)*p; | -| | | -| | in a for loop (the over head of the for loop is not | -| | significant; the loop is an unrolled loop 100 loads long). | -| | The size of the array varies from 512 bytes to (typically) | -| | eight megabytes. For the small sizes, the cache will have an | -| | effect, and the loads will be much faster. This becomes much | -| | more apparent when the data is plotted. | -| | | -| | Only data accesses are measured; the instruction cache is | -| | not measured. | -| | | -| | The results are reported in nanoseconds per load and have | -| | been verified accurate to within a few nanoseconds on an SGI | -| | Indy. | -| | | -+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ -|configuration | File: opnfv_yardstick_tc010.yaml | -| | | -| | * SLA (max_latency): 30 nanoseconds | -| | * Stride - 128 bytes | -| | * Stop size - 64 megabytes | -| | * Iterations: 10 - test is run 10 times iteratively. | -| | * Interval: 1 - there is 1 second delay between each | -| | iteration. | -| | | -| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an | -| | example. Considerably lower read latency is expected. | -| | However, to cover most configurations, both baremetal and | -| | fully virtualized ones, this value should be possible to | -| | achieve and acceptable for black box testing. | -| | Many heavy IO applications start to suffer badly if the | -| | read latency is higher than this. | -| | | -+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ -|applicability | Test can be configured with different: | -| | | -| | * strides; | -| | * stop_size; | -| | * iterations and intervals. | -| | | -| | Default values exist. | -| | | -| | SLA (optional) : max_latency: The maximum memory latency | -| | that is accepted. | -| | | -+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ -|usability | This test case is one of Yardstick's generic test. Thus it | -| | is runnable on most of the scenarios. | -| | | -+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ -|references | LMbench lat_mem_rd_ | -| | | -| | ETSI-NFV-TST001 | -| | | -+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ -|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.
