We discussed it with tech board yesterday and unless there are significant hurdles which will require lots of man hours at UNH, we should do this. I=E2=80=99ve reached out to Robin with some initial questions and gotten th= ese clarifications: * 1. We could test 1x/week on the nightly build https://github.com/DPDK/grout/releases/tag/edge * 2. The initial testing would be for functional regressions only. Once they do performance optimizations, they may be interested in perf testing. * 3. Test reports can be sent to the grout mailing list: https://mails.dpdk.org/listinfo/grout * 4. They have some tests currently, which may have to be adapted slightly for bare-metal, but can be used by UNH: https://github.com/DPDK/grout/tree/main/smoke * 5. Robin indicated any recent NIC is okay (X710, E810, CX5, CX6) * Patrick will try to stand up Grout on the hardware to investigate the basics, and send any further questions to Robin. Then we can loop back to tech board and seek their final approval for using the lab resources for this. * Aaron has highlighted that the grout guys should complete most/all of the scripting, so that the UNH resources (which are really for DPDK CI testing) are not exhausted in efforts to maintain grout testing * Arm Grace had an infra failure yesterday which cut the performance numbers in half for runs in the 2nd half of the day. I didn=E2=80=99t have = time to do a deep dive in this case (just restarted the machine and triggered retests) but we=E2=80=99ll keep an eye on it. * Dpdk-test: per_lcore_autotest had a spurious fail in UNH CI - documented it on Bugzilla https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1668 * David has a suggestion for what the issue is: =E2=80=9Cit starts a cal= lback that wait 100ms on a separate thread, and thinks that nothing will disturb the main thread.=E2=80=9D * lab.dpdk.org got an update to the code coverage report page, which allows the coverage reports to be opened within the website, instead of the user downloading the .zip and opening locally: * https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/code-coverage * Cody is updating our XL710 testing, recreating the test on a newer testbed (Intel Xeon 3rd gen processor). This will probably run silently for the rest of 25.03, then we will shift over to the new server with the new release. * Had some false failures for new DTS because we rebooted the server without modprobing vfio-pci before triggering new CI tests. Legacy DTS loads the DPDK driver, but we elected not to for new DTS in order to allow space for users to load vfio-pci with custom params. This is fine, I am just noting here that this is still on the user to do before running in-repo DTS.
