Hi all,

 

I’m on vacation this week.

 

I just wanted to give an update on the performance issues TF-A is having with the OpenCI and closing down our release preparation.

 

I did not fully realise that this is the first release for TF-A we have been trying to do solely on the OpenCI. Our observations are that given the surge in patch review testing on the CI the current LAVA workers are being overloaded and the subsequent long queueing and related timeouts are causing us issues. During normal day to day CI needs between releases the CI was coping reasonably well but at release time there is the pressure to get patches in before the freeze date so a lot more demand on the CI for patch testing.

 

So to help and try and avoid the release slipping we have taken the ArmCI out of mothballs and are firing it up to help take some of the load. It will be good to work out a way to address this surge at release time load issue for the Q4 releases as the old ArmCI will have been decommissioned by then as the servers supporting it are being removed.

I’ll raise a ticket on this when I’m back.

 

Thanks

 

Joanna
