15:20:20 <mackonstan> #topic Physical Infrastructure
15:24:42 <mackonstan> #info FD.io DC move, ping to the new YUL1 expected this week
15:25:42 <mackonstan> #info Peter, would like to gracefully shut down all the machine in MTL2 before move (once YUL1 is up and running)
15:25:57 <mackonstan> #info Andrew .17 Arm server is down (Nomad)
15:29:37 <mackonstan> #info Peter, monitoring solution is working well, added Jenkins monitoring incl. the build queue, raising alarm if more than 10 execution fail in the row!
15:32:35 <mackonstan> #topic Environment, Framework
15:33:33 <mackonstan> #info Peter, working on updating pixi scripts, will be dry running ubuntu 20.04 on hsw testbed(s)
15:36:18 <mackonstan> #info Maciek, TRex has now a partial support for Intel E800 100GbE NICs, but quite a few caveats, evaluating impact on CSIT, collaborating with RayK on that, as contribution to Trex is from intel
15:36:35 <mackonstan> #topic Performance Tests
15:40:11 <mackonstan> #info 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).
15:40:57 <mackonstan> #info Maciek, some vendors (AMD) are asking to test turbo frequency instead
15:44:57 <mackonstan> #info Challenges include: changing between base and turbo frequency without reboot, repeatability of tests
15:48:11 <mackonstan> #info 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?
