Minutes

Meeting Schedule & Logistics & Minutes

• Schedule & Duration

• Keep to every other week schedule

• Lincoln will confirm the time slot with James 

• Minutes

• Need to finalize a location to keep minutes that is accessible to all participant 

• Minutes will be sent to the ci@dpdk.com mailing list, can put the 

• Add information for who to contact to join the meetings and get the calendar invite, etc.

CI Status 

• UNH hosted community lab

• Patched false failures based on processor speed, instead of past run results

• NXP has been contacted to keep an eye on false failures

• Mellanox run failures being investigated, no common root cause determined yet

• May be caused by TRex failures / linking with DPDK fork

• Multiple emails for one context in patchworks has been fixed, and should prevent “last update” email from causing false pass or fail.

• Still working with Broadcom, should be completed and online within the next two weeks.

• Travis CI 

• Multi-arch support is a little buggy

• Trishan will contact Travis CI to find out what would be gained from a paid account, and if they would eliminate the disk quota limitation

• Other CI Tools

• Cirrus CI - could provide support for Linux, BSD, and Window

• Aaron will take a look at this, and report back what would required to begin using this for DPDK

• Github Actions - 

• 
  

• SUSE Open Build Service - may be allowed to use for unit testing

• ARM is looking at possible integrating this into DPDK patchwork

• Other traffic generator tooling:

• TRex forks DPDK, which should not be promoted.  Can we help encourage them to “not fork.”

• Should other open source tools be tried, i.e. Warp-L7, these need to be supported into DTS to be used in the current performance lab.

• Redhat may be able to help investigate this, based on the past developers being hired into Redhat
