|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC012_Memory Bandwidth |
+| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|metric | Megabyte per second (MBps) |
+| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test purpose | Measure the rate at which data can be read from and written |
| | to the memory (this includes all levels of memory). |
+| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|configuration | File: opnfv_yardstick_tc012.yaml |
| | |
-| | * SLA (optional): 15000 (MBps) |
-| | min_bw: The minimum amount of memory bandwidth that is |
-| | accepted. |
+| | * SLA (optional): 15000 (MBps) min_bw: The minimum amount of |
+| | memory bandwidth that is accepted. |
| | * Size: 10 240 kB - test allocates twice that size (20 480kB)|
| | zeros it and then measures the time it takes to copy from |
| | one side to another. |
| | * Iterations: 10 - test is run 10 times iteratively. |
| | * Interval: 1 - there is 1 second delay between each |
| | iteration. |
+| | |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|test tool | Lmbench |
| | |
| | Lmbench is a suite of operating system microbenchmarks. This |
| | test uses bw_mem tool from that suite. |
| | Lmbench is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
-| | needs to be installed in the test image |
-| | (See :ref:`guest-image` for how to generate a Linux image |
-| | for Glance with Lmbench included). |
+| | needs to be installed in the test image. |

-|applicability | Test can be configured with different |
-| | * memory sizes; |
-| | * memory operations (such as rd, wr, rdwr, cp, frd, fwr, |
-| | fcp, bzero, bcopy); |
-| | * number of warmup iterations; |
-| | * iterations and intervals. |

|pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |

| | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |

|test verdict | Test fails if the measured memory bandwidth is below the SLA |
| | value or if there is a test case execution problem. |
