Brigade Goals and Scope

The overarching goal is to optimize the CORD platform and benchmark performance for several critical workloads. Specifically, the plan is to:

  • Integrate Intel's DPDK/OvS optimizations into the CORD platform
    • Initial Focus:  VMs
    • Follow-on Work: Containers
  • Micro-Benchmarks / Tuning
    • Cores dedicated to OvS vs OvS/DPDK
  • Benchmark M-CORD performance (specifically EPC)
    • Scale number of subscribers (at average throughput each)
    • Maximum end-to-end throughput for a single subscriber
  • Benchmark R-CORD performance (specifically vSG)
    • Scale number of subscribers (at average throughput each)
    • Maximum end-to-end throughput for a single subscriber
  • Open Ended: Other optimizations that impact the M/R-CORD performance

How to get involved

Please join the brigade in their #performance Slack channel to discuss what is happening and how you can participate.  If you need access to the CORD slack channel, you can request an invitation.
