Re: [platform-releng-dev] Performance re-testing on releases and 3.1 mil

[Wassim Melhem <wassimm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the problem:

Internal code has changed significantly throughout the 3.1 cycle.

You can't expect performance test cases that are written against 3.0.x code
(i.e. the perf_30 branch) to just compile and run against 3.1M1-M5.

We need to "like" have a branch for every milestone, or we could just skip
the 3.1 milestones altogether and just use the latest 3.1 from HEAD.

Starting this Friday, we would like to run performance tests on previous
releases (starting at 2.1.3) and 3.1 milestones to generate a new history
of performance measurements on four newly configured performance test
machines.  These will consist of two identical "slower" machines (Intel P4
2 GHz, 512 MB RAM) and two identical "fast" machines (Intel P4 3 GHz, 2 gig
RAM) which will run Windows XP (SP1) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3.
This task will require approximately 80 hours to complete and if all goes
smoothly, we expect to have all the re-testing done by Wednesday April 20.


Please see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-releng-home/performance_test_plan.htm
 for further details and background.

In order for us to proceed, we ask ALL teams using CPU Time in assertions
and summaries (ie. fingerprints) to switch to using Elapsed Process in HEAD
and perf_* streams of your tests where needed by 11pm (Ottawa time)
Thursday, April 14.

Please respond to this list with questions or comments.
