[dpdk-ci] Minutes of DPDK Lab Meeting, July 31st

["O'Driscoll, Tim" <tim.odriscoll@intel.com>]

Hardware:
* Shreyansh expects to ship NXP hardware to UNH by the end of this week.

Test Results:
* Warnings were showing for all Intel results even when the performance increased. This was because the CI scripts were checking for a "result" key in the *_single_core_perf.json, which the new DTS scripts did not output. Jeremy has fixed this and the new results look good.
* Jeremy also fixed a typo in the frame size for Intel test results.

Test Scope:
* Lijuan submitted a DPDK Lab & CI topic for the Userspace event in Dublin. We expect this to be accepted. This could be presented jointly with Jeremy, who could cover the lab and dashboard status. We also need to cover the bigger CI picture, future scope for the lab including functional testing etc.
* For Dublin, we should aim to have the relative performance numbers on Intel and Mellanox hardware publicly available.
* Patrick and Jeremy will investigate whether we can get utilization figures for the current lab hardware. This would help to determine capacity for additional testing.
* At the moment, additional space is available in the lab, so we can provide more hardware if required.

Tools:
* Thomas will update Bugzilla so we can use it for tracking lab tickets.
* We probably need to be able to support additional test frameworks besides DTS in future. This will make the lab setup more flexible.
