===================================================================== General Announcements
* Governing board approved the SOW for 2023. * UNH Lab member Owen Hilyard will be departing the lab on February 10th. We thank him for his major contributions and wish him the best in his future endeavors. We are working with Owen and the entire team to make sure lab operations and support are uninterrupted after his departure. It’s never easy to replace talented and hardworking team members, but we remain committed to the project and will conduct interviews in the next days/weeks to make sure we are able to bring another employee on board. Good luck Owen and thank you!
===================================================================== CI Status
--------------------------------------------------------------------- UNH-IOL Community Lab * FIPS testing: We have written pipeline jobs which acquire vectors from the ACVP API, and validate them with the cryptodev validation sample application. The final step is adding a stage which aggregates the results of the output .rsp files, and reports one single result to our dashboard and Patchwork. We aim to bring this online on Monday. * Currently we are running this just an ubuntu container, but our pipelines are written to allow us to easily expand to other distros if/when needed * Arm Ampere Altra: We did set the remaining baselines for this system, so it is now reporting functional and performance testing across all branches for Intel-40G. We are exploring ways to expand coverage to other NICS on this test bed. * We will be physically moving the servers which make up the lab in the near future - this will result in some downtime which will be scheduled and emailed out to the CI mailing list. All “missed” patch series will be queued up and tested once we’re back online. * Two ThunderX2 Arm servers have been installed in our new DPDK server rack, which will be used as dedicated systems for unit testing. The advantage of this is that we will be able to run unit testing on a different system from those which run DTS. * These will host VMs which mirror the x86 testing process * Modifications to our container registry are being completed which will allow us to maintain multi-arch images and generically run testing across arm and x86 * Aarch32 cross compile -> unit test: the lab needs to find a solution to run 32 bit testing across x86 and arm without emulation. One idea for arm is to try using thunderx1 systems - need to check if they support aarch32. * Another approach is to utilize the altra, but run the testing serially as opposed to in parallel * IPsec: need to limit this testing to latest LTS and new patch series, and build a dedicated image on our registry
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Lab * There may be some intel downtime due to Chinese New Year
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Github Actions * Patchwork scripts being updated - they are currently querying patchwork by dates as opposed to events API, the latter being the preferred approach. * Currently resolving complications on their jenkins instance due to failures which have occurred recently
===================================================================== DTS Improvements & Test Development * Honappa leading a separate meeting with his minutes
===================================================================== Any other business * Next meeting is February 2nd
