Could someone at Intel please update the test script to provide output

According to the test plan, the information requested by Olivier should be in 
the test output already:

PS: I can't find out who is the maintainer of the test plan, so I'm randomly

Hi Morten,

Ali has a request to update the expected baseline, to be able to detect the performance drops, let me internally figure out who can do this.

And do you have any other request, or asking same thing?


Med venlig hilsen / kind regards

Hi,
(Sorry had to resend this to some recipients due to mail server
problems).

Just confirming that I can still reproduce the regression with single
core and 64B frames on other servers.

Many thanks for the feedback. Can you please detail what is the amount
of performance loss in percent, and confirm the test case? (I suppose
it
is testpmd io forward).

Unfortunatly, I won't be able to spend a lot of time on this soon
(sorry
for that). So I see at least these 2 options:

- postpone the patch again, until I can find more time to analyze
   and optimize
- apply the patch if the performance loss is acceptable compared to
   the added value of fixing a bug

Regards,
Olivier

Hi,
Adding Ferruh and Zhaoyan,

Ali,

You reported some performance regression, did you confirm it?
If I get no reply by monday, I'll proceed with this patch.

Sure I'll confirm by Monday.

Doesn't the regression also reproduce on the Lab's Intel servers?
Even though the check iol-intel-Performance isn't failing, I can
see that the
throughput differences from expected for this patch are less than
those of
another patch that was tested only 20 minutes earlier. Both patches
were
applied to the same tree:

https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2021-
January/173927.html
| 64         | 512     | 1.571                               |

https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2021-
January/173919.html
| 64         | 512     | 2.698                               |

Assuming that pw86457 doesn't have an effect on this test, it looks
to me
that this patch caused a regression in Intel hardware as well.

Can someone update the baseline's expected values for the Intel
NICs and
rerun the test on this patch?

Thanks,
Ali
