======================================================
Performance Testing Metrics (Percentage)
* UNH-IOL tested the V1 patch on all systems.
* What is the status of the patch updates for the format changes / feedback?  New series of patches V3 (https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dts/patch/20210331101659.506185-2-lijuan.tu@intel.com/), waiting for feedback and testing from the community.
* Ali filed the bug, https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670.  UNH-IOL was using the latest TRex (2.88) on the systems.  Need to resolve this issue, before we can schedule the migration.
* Owen has created the migration plan for what will need to change in the UNH-IOL infrastructure, database, and portal.
* Go / no-go decision - Agreed to move forward with the migration once the BUG-670 is resolved.
* Aaron Conole to check if he has write access onto the DPDK-CI repo, Lincoln to send Aaron the link to the patch in the archive.

======================================================
CI Status

------------------------------------------------------
UNH-IOL Community Lab
* OS Coverage / Container migration is completed, working to expand ABI testing coverage run to all containers
** Ubuntu 18.04 / 20.04
** CentOS 8
** CentOS Stream 8
** Fedora 31 / 32
** OpenSUSE Leap 15
** RHEL 7 / 8
* Arm system functional / performance testing timeouts.  Friday, 9am Eastern Time, debug session, David, Aaron, Juraj, Owen.
* Broadcom is running tests with the latest version of TREX on the arm hardware, Ajit from Broadcom is still looking into the issue.
* Cross-compile jobs (x86_64 → aarch64)
** Juraj to email the Docker files to Brandon / Lincoln, and we’ll look at getting those deployed.
** We’ll look at creating a home in the dpdk-ci repo to hold the docker file definitions, etc.  
* Testing with ARM SVE instructions, using emulation.  Will need to run QEMU with the instructions enabled.  UNH-IOL container runners are on Ubuntu 20.04.  UNH-IOL will set up a 3rd runner to be the test for the QEMU setup.   Juraj will start a Google Document to describe the environment / needs and to coordinate with UNH-IOL.

------------------------------------------------------
Intel Lab

* Working on updates to the OSes and getting ready for the 21.05 release.
* Patchwork / DTS test results are still mixed with DPDK results, open ticket about how to separate mails.  For now continue to send results to the email lists, this will be re-enabled next week.
* No known issues at this time.

------------------------------------------------------
Travis CI / OBS / Github Actions

* Purge for OBS systems is tested and working, but it’s not yet re-enabled, because it doesn’t look like it’s fully stable yet.  Aaron is looking into this issue.  Reporting for OBS, etc., is all set.
* Michael / Aaron are working on how community members could “rerun” a patch or a series.  They are going to collect this info into a RFC type document, to share with the CI / Dev lists, once it’s ready.

======================================================
