Blueprint changed by Antonio Rosales:

Whiteboard changed:
- I'm deferring this due to no workitems defined. -robbiew
- 
  From Etherpad:
  
  Workload tests:
   - bzr branch lp:server-workload-testing
   - Currently done and maintained by Canonical
   - Linaro could help getting it to work across the ARM boards available there 
as well as with LAVA
  openssl: openssl-test? gnu-tls?
  ARM Workload:
   - Linaro is looking at extracting the power consumed when stressing the 
board support
   - It'd be useful to benchmark not only the test results, but the power that 
was consumed during the test run
  Areas to investigate while checking for performance:
   - Not that clear at the moment
   - Generally looking at the usual test cases/benchmarks for a start
   - One way would be to get feedback from the hw vendors to understand what 
would be the priority
  ACTION:
  [rsalveti] Make sure we have a session at Linaro Connect to cover power usage 
at the ARM boards during test case executions
  IO/Storage: Ceph, Swift, Gluster?
  Areas of focus on feature/functional side:
   - KVM
   - LXC
   - OpenMPI
  Calxeda is interested in OpenMPI performance/testing.
  From P:
  As  actual ARM server hardware begins to enter the marketplace, a   
standardized way to test and benchmark performance must be developed and   run 
on all active platforms we support for ARM server.

  Upcoming PTS tests: MySQL, TPCC MySQL, various SPEC tests (might not  be 
public), Unixbench, plus others (can also easily add in any others,  just ask)

  - membase?
  - Ensure that multi-system testing setups are standardized
  - weekly meeting to reveiw testing on #ubuntu-meeting (Thursdays 15:00 UTC)
  ACTIONS:
  - Automate testing [explore PTS documentation about batch-run options]
  - Find an IPV6 testing tool
  - Add a test for Membase
  - Add a test for Hadoop and other workloads
  - Explore stress/load testing (memtester, stress, kernel build test, netperf, 
unix bench)
  - Test on real hardware when available
  - Compare P test results against O.
  - AHCI testing
  - Investigate PTS logging sensor data [Run any test(s) with  "MONITOR=all" 
environmental variable to see all sensors... or see  included HTML/PDF 
documentation... or run "phoronix-test-suite system-sensors" to see all 
supported/unsupported sensors. Try latest PTS release for latest sensor 
coverage.]

  =User Stories=
-  - George wants to setup an openmpi cluster on his new ARM server nodes.
+  - George wants to setup an openmpi cluster on his new ARM server nodes and 
would like a common set of tools to measure performance of openMPI on his ARM 
cluster.
+  - Rebekah is setting up her new ARM cluster and would like a set of common 
tools to measure performance of virtualization technologies such as KVM and LXC.
+  - Jacob has his new ARM server nodes up and running with Ubuntu and would 
like use a set of common tools to test performance of workloads such as Hadoop 
in his environment.
  
  =Assumptions=
-  -All of the mentioned pieces of software already work on ARM platforms.
+  -All of the mentioned pieces of software already work on ARM platforms.
+  -The work here is to create a common set of scripts for folks to use to tune 
and analyze performance on their ARM servers. This goal is not to produce 
performance results.
  
  =Test Plans=
-  - Run each script on all available ARM server hardware and some x86 hardware.
+  - Identify appropriate benchmark for each workload
+  - Run each script on all available ARM server hardware and some x86 hardware 
by first set
+  - Automate running of scripts for each workload.
+ * Script will be complete for this blueprint when it accurately exercises the 
workloads, provides benchmarking data for performance evaluation, and is able 
to executed in automated process.
  
  =Release Note=
-  - Automated testing of key clustered workloads and core Linux stacks has 
been performed to ensure a more reliable experience on ARM and x86 hardware.
+  - Common set of performance set of testing scripts available for ARM servers
+   *Once work is complete need to details what the scripts are and where they 
can be obtained.
