  * Andrew .17 Arm server is down (Nomad)  (mackonstan, 15:25:57)
  * Peter, monitoring solution is working well, added Jenkins monitoring
    incl. the build queue, raising alarm if more than 10 execution fail
    in the row!  (mackonstan, 15:29:37)

* Environment, Framework  (mackonstan, 15:32:35)

  * Maciek, TRex has now a partial support for Intel E800 100GbE NICs,
    but quite a few caveats, evaluating impact on CSIT, collaborating

    (mackonstan, 15:36:18)

* Performance Tests  (mackonstan, 15:36:35)
  * Maciek, All performance tests are done with processor cores set to
    base frequency (re Arm, Juraj to check and re-confirm this is the
    case).  (mackonstan, 15:40:11)
  * Maciek, some vendors (AMD) are asking to test turbo frequency
    instead  (mackonstan, 15:40:57)
  * Challenges include: changing between base and turbo frequency
    without reboot, repeatability of tests  (mackonstan, 15:44:57)
  * AI: Need to come up with a scheme to address it: base frequency is
    here to stay, the question is to if, how and how often to run tests
    with turbo enabled?  (mackonstan, 15:48:11)



Meeting ended at 15:52:33 UTC.
