Installing QTIP using Docker
============================
+QTIP docker image
+-----------------
+
QTIP has a Docker images on the docker hub. Pulling opnfv/qtip docker image
from docker hub:
::
- docker pull opnfv/qtip
+ docker pull opnfv/qtip:stable
-Verify that opnfv/qtip has been downloaded. It should be listed as an image by
+Verify that ``opnfv/qtip`` has been downloaded. It should be listed as an image by
running the following command.
::
docker images
-Make dir to store the QTIP image which will be used to create vm in cloud.
-::
-
- mkdir $HOME/imgstore
-Run and enter the Docker instance:
-::
- envs="INSTALLER_TYPE={INSTALLER_TYPE} -e INSTALLER_IP={INSTALLER_IP}
--e NODE_NAME={NODE_NAME}"
- docker run --name qtip -id -e $envs -v "$HOME/imgstore:/home/opnfv/imgstore" opnfv/qtip
- docker exec -i -t qtip /bin/bash
+Run and enter the docker instance
+---------------------------------
-Now you are in the container and QTIP can be found in the /repos/qtip and can
-be navigated to using the following command.
+1. If you want to run benchmarks:
::
- cd repos/qtip
-
-
-OpenStack parameters and credentials
-====================================
+ envs="INSTALLER_TYPE={INSTALLER_TYPE} -e INSTALLER_IP={INSTALLER_IP}"
+ docker run --name qtip -id -e $envs opnfv/qtip
+ docker exec -i -t qtip /bin/bash
+``INSTALLER_TYPE`` should be one of OPNFV installer, e.g. apex, compass, daisy, fuel
+and joid. Currenty, QTIP only supports installer fuel.
-Environment variables
----------------------
+``INSTALLER_IP`` is the ip address of the installer that can be accessed by QTIP.
-Before running QTIP it is necessary to export OpenStack environment variables
-from the OpenStack *openrc* file. This can be done by running the following
-command.
+2. If you do not want to run any benchmarks:
::
- source scripts/get_env_info.sh -n {INSTALLER_TYPE} -i {INSTALLER_IP}
- source opnfv-creds.sh
-
-This provides a ``opnfv-creds.sh`` file which can be sources to get the
-environment variables.
-
-
-QTIP default key pair
-----------------------
+ docker run --name qtip -id opnfv/qtip
+ docker exec -i -t qtip /bin/bash
-QTIP uses a SSH key pair to connect to the guest image. You should generate key pair
-before running QTIP test. And put key pair in the ``config/`` directory.
+Now you are in the container and QTIP can be found in the ``/repos/qtip`` and can
+be navigated to using the following command.
::
- ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -f config/QtipKey -q
+ cd repos/qtip
+Environment configuration
+=========================
Hardware configuration
----------------------
Installer Docker on Jumphost, which is used for running Qtip image.
-The first step is to install docker:
-::
+You can refer to these links:
- sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80
- --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D
-
-
-Add an entry for your Ubuntu operating system:
-::
-
- Open the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list file in your favorite editor.
-
-If the file doesn’t exist, create it.
-
-Remove any existing entries.
-
-Add an entry for your Ubuntu operating system.
-
-On Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (LTS)
-::
-
- deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-trusty main
-
-Update the package manager
-::
-
- sudo apt-get update
-
-Install Docker:
-::
-
- sudo apt-get install docker-engine

+Compute QPI

Introduction
------------
-The QTIP testing suite aims to benchmark the compute components of an OPNFV platform.
+The compute QPI aims to benchmark the compute components of an OPNFV platform.
Such components include, the CPU performance, the memory performance.
-Additionally virtual computing performance provided by the Hypervisor (KVM) installed as part of OPNFV platforms would be benchmarked too.
-The test suite consists of both synthetic and application specific benchmarks to test compute components.

+Getting start with compute QPI
+------------------------------
+
+Notice: All descriptions are based on QTIP container.
+
+Inventory File
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+QTIP uses Ansible to trigger benchmark test. Ansible uses an inventory file to
+determine what hosts to work against. QTIP can automatically generate a inventory
+file via OPNFV installer. Users also can write their own inventory infomation into
+``/home/opnfv/qtip/hosts``. This file is just a text file containing a list of host
+IP addresses. For example:
+::
+
+ [hosts]
+ 10.20.0.11
+ 10.20.0.12
+
+QTIP key Pair
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+QTIP use a SSH key pair to connect to remote hosts. When users execute compute QPI,
+QTIP will generate a key pair named *QtipKey* under ``/home/opnfv/qtip/`` and pass
+public key to remote hosts.
+
+If environment variable *CI_DEBUG* is set to *true*, users should delete it by
+manual. If *CI_DEBUG* is not set or set to *false*, QTIP will delete the key from
+remote hosts before the execution ends. Please make sure the key deleted from remote
+hosts or it can introduce a security flaw.
+
+Commands to run compute QPI
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In a QTIP container, you can run compute QPI by using QTIP CLI:
+::
+
+ mkdir result
+ qtip plan run <plan_name> -p $PWD/result
+
+QTIP generates results in the ``$PWD/result`` directory are listed down under the
+timestamp name.
+
+you can get more details from *userguide/cli.rst*.
Benchmarks
----------
Dhrystone 2.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Dhrystone is a synthetic benchmark for measuring CPU performance. It uses integer calculations to evaluate CPU capabilities.
-Both Single CPU performance is measured along multi-cpu performance.

Dhrystone, however, is a dated benchmark and has some short comings.
Written in C, it is a small program that doesn't test the CPU memory subsystem.
-Additionally, dhrystone results could be modified by optimizing the compiler and insome cases hardware configuration.

INTmem and FLOATmem benchmarks are executed in 4 different scenarios:
a. Copy: a(i)=b(i)
c. Scale: a(i)=b(i)*d
d. Tniad: a(i)=b(i)+c(i)*d
-INTmem uses integers in these four benchmarks whereas FLOATmem uses floating points for these benchmarks.
