CI Status

   -

   UNH hosted community lab
   -

      Patched false failures based on processor speed, instead of past run
      results
      -

      NXP has been contacted to keep an eye on false failures
      -

      Mellanox run failures being investigated, no common root cause
      determined yet
      -

         May be caused by TRex failures / linking with DPDK fork
         -

      Multiple emails for one context in patchworks has been fixed, and
      should prevent “last update” email from causing false pass or fail.
      -

      Still working with Broadcom, should be completed and online within
      the next two weeks.
      -

   Travis CI
   -

      Multi-arch support is a little buggy
      -

      Trishan will contact Travis CI to find out what would be gained from
      a paid account, and if they would eliminate the disk quota limitation
      -

   Other CI Tools
   -

      Cirrus CI - could provide support for Linux, BSD, and Window
      -

         Aaron will take a look at this, and report back what would
         required to begin using this for DPDK
         -

      Github Actions -
      -
         -

      SUSE Open Build Service - may be allowed to use for unit testing
      -

         ARM is looking at possible integrating this into DPDK patchwork
         -

   Other traffic generator tooling:
   -

      TRex forks DPDK, which should not be promoted.  Can we help encourage
      them to “not fork.”
      -

      Should other open source tools be tried, i.e. Warp-L7, these need to
      be supported into DTS to be used in the current performance lab.
      -

      Redhat may be able to help investigate this, based on the past
      developers being hired into Redhat
