New Test cases
--------------

opnfv_yardstick_tc015: Processing speed with impact on energy consumption
and CPU load.

The purpose of TC015 is to evaluate the IaaS compute performance with
regards to CPU processing speed with its impact on the energy consumption.
It measures score of single cpu running and parallel running. Energy
consumption and cpu load are monitored while the cpu test is running.
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,
different server types.
