[dpdk-ci] Minutes of DPDK Lab Meeting, November 20th

[O'Driscoll, Tim]

Relative performance results are now public. Jeremy's blog has also been published (https://www.dpdk.org/blog/2018/11/19/dpdk-community-lab-publishes-relative-performance-testing-results/).

Test results are now integrated into Patchwork.

An initial set of graphs is available at: https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/stats/. These generated a lot of discussion. Agreed the following:
- The Cumulative graphs didn't show any useful data and have been removed.
- Jeremy has documented the exact data that's being shown: https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/ci/2018-November/000289.html
- Intel 10Gbps results are not stable. Lijuan will work with Jeremy to investigate this.
- Discussed possibility of adding graph showing trend in master performance over time (per release and/or else daily/weekly). UNH will investigate, but currently the database doesn't store performance results for previous releases.

Luca asked about testing of LTS/stable releases:
- Highest priority is LTS releases. We can look at stable releases later.
- Jeremy will add this to the backlog.

Discussed whether the UNH task backlog could be made accessible. Jeremy will investigate. If this isn't possible, then he can send a periodic snapshot.
