== What to test ==
We'd like to check power management tuning available for Fedora-12.


== WARNING! The site is still under construction ==
If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable. You can check whether you save some energy after applying tuning.


== Who's available ==


The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, general discussion ...
* Development - [[User:Pknirsch|Phil Knirsch]], [[User:mmaslano|Marcela Maslanova]] (marcela on irc), [[User:Plautrba|Petr Lautrbach]], [[User:Jskala|Jiri Skala]] (skalnik on irc)
* Quality Assurance - [[User:jscotka|Jan Scotka]]


== What to test? ==
== Prerequisite ==  


=== For "Extended tuned" ===
{{admon/caution|Disk space|Please make sure you have enough space on your disk. You will need <code>kernel-debuginfo</code> package whis is about 250MB large!}}
* yum install tuned
{{admon/note|Live systems|We prefer testing on installed system. It is almost impossible to test on LiveCD because of required disk space. If you decide to test on LiveUSB, please, add a note into results table about this (into HW column).}}
* service tuned start
* cpu, disk and net devices should adapt to usage (monitor using strace e.g.)**


=== For "System tuning configuration and profiles" ===
# An installed [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] (development version of Fedora) with graphical environment.  Alternatively, you may install [http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease Fedora 12 Beta] and update your system.
* Run the new system tuning tool and list the different available profiles using:
# [[SELinux]] isn't needed, users don't have to enable it.
** tuned-adm list
# Internet connection
* Run the new system tuning tool and select one of the profiles. Restart the machine afterwards and make sure the profile is being used at startup
# The special-purpose Test Day RPM package which includes necessary dependencies and provides all testing scripts.
** tuned-adm modes laptop-battery-powersave
## Download the package for your architecture: ([http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.i686.rpm i686], [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm x86_64], [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.ppc.rpm ppc], [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.ppc64.rpm ppc64])
** tuned-adm modes default
## Download the [http://jvcelak.fedorapeople.org/testday-091022/testday-20091022.asc package public key] and import into RPM: <code>su -c "rpm --import testday-20091022.asc"</code>
** tuned-adm modes throughput-performance
## Lastly, install the package using: <code>yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo localinstall testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.YOURARCH.rpm</code>
=== For "New tool to measure improvements to system configuration changes or application changes" ===
# Kernel debugging info:
* yum install tuned-utils
#* Install the required package: <code>debuginfo-install kernel</code>
* run scomes
#* Alternatively, you can install the debuginfo kernel using {{command|yum}}: <code>yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo</code>
* change system settings
#* ''NOTE'' - be sure that the ''kernel-debuginfo'' version matches your kernel version.  You can confirm by running the command <code>rpm -q kernel-debuginfo-$(uname -r)</code>
* run scomes again
# Upload your hardware to [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] according to [http://smolts.org/smolt-wiki/Main_Page#Usage these instructions].
* compare restults


== Running the tests ==


== Who's available ==
=== Update your machine ===


It will be needed rawhide machine. Howto install or update [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]].


The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
=== Tests ===
* Development - [[User:Pknirsch|Phil Knirsch]], [[User:mmaslano|Marcela Maslanova]] (marcela on irc), [[User:Plautrba|Petr Lautrbach]], [[User:Jskala|Jiri Skala]] (skalnik on irc)
* Quality Assurance - [[User:dpravec|David Pravec]] (dpravec), [[User:jscotka|Jan Scotka]]


== Prerequisite for Test Day ==
The test cases are split into test groups. Some of the tests are a bit time-consuming. Please perform as many tests as possible. If you aren't able to run them all, please remember that the tests in each table are sorted by importance in descending order.


You don't have to download any special scripts for each test. Our Testday package provides following commands:
* <code>testday-run-''testname''</code> (performing tests)
* <code>testday-pack-results</code> (packing results of all tests in .tag.gz file)


* A system with a network connection
There is a note about permission in the description of each test. Please follow this information.
* [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] (tips on installing Rawhide below)
* The [http://mmaslano.fedorapeople.org/TestDay/testday-pm-0.1-1.fc12.noarch.rpm rpm] file will be prepared to install all test cases included necessary dependencies. Before installation of this package you need to allow debuginfo for rawhide in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo
Download rpm and run:
* yum localinstall testday-pm-0.1-1.fc12.noarch.rpm
For scomes test you need to have the same version of kernel and kernel-debuginfo.  
* uname -a
* rpm -q kernel-debuginfo
* Your hardware profile uploaded to [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] according to [http://smolts.org/smolt-wiki/Main_Page#Usage these instructions]


== How to test? ==
==== X Window System ====


=== Update your machine ===
These tests should be performed on all systems in X11 environment.


See the instructions on the [[Releases/Rawhide|Rawhide]] page on the various ways in which you can install or update to Rawhide. Or:

=== Test Results ===
=== Results ===


* Send your Smolt profile if you haven't done it already (see [[Test_Day:2009-10-22#Prerequisite|Prerequsite]]).
* Create compressed file with results by running: <code>testday-pack-results</code>
* [[Special:Upload|Upload]] created file to this wiki.
* Add your results into the table below.


Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results. Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. For example:
{{admon/note|File uploading|The <code>testday-pack-results</code> will create file <code>/tmp/testday-091022-your-public-smolt-profile-uuid.tar.gz</code>. This name should be unique. But pay attention when uploading it - do not overwrite somebody else's file!<br/>}}

DATE WHEN WHERE
2009-10-22 From 12:00 to 21:00 UTC (8am -> 5pm EDT) #fedora-test-day (webirc)

What to test[edit]

We'd like to check power management tuning available for Fedora-12.

If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable. You can check whether you save some energy after applying tuning.

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, general discussion ...

Prerequisite[edit]

Disk space
Please make sure you have enough space on your disk. You will need kernel-debuginfo package whis is about 250MB large!
Live systems
We prefer testing on installed system. It is almost impossible to test on LiveCD because of required disk space. If you decide to test on LiveUSB, please, add a note into results table about this (into HW column).
  1. An installed Rawhide (development version of Fedora) with graphical environment. Alternatively, you may install Fedora 12 Beta and update your system.
  2. SELinux isn't needed, users don't have to enable it.
  3. Internet connection
  4. The special-purpose Test Day RPM package which includes necessary dependencies and provides all testing scripts.
    1. Download the package for your architecture: (i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64)
    2. Download the package public key and import into RPM: su -c "rpm --import testday-20091022.asc"
    3. Lastly, install the package using: yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo localinstall testday-pm-0.6-1.fc12.YOURARCH.rpm
  5. Kernel debugging info:
    • Install the required package: debuginfo-install kernel
    • Alternatively, you can install the debuginfo kernel using yum: yum --enablerepo=rawhide-debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo
    • NOTE - be sure that the kernel-debuginfo version matches your kernel version. You can confirm by running the command rpm -q kernel-debuginfo-$(uname -r)
  6. Upload your hardware to Smolt according to these instructions.

Running the tests[edit]

Update your machine[edit]

It will be needed rawhide machine. Howto install or update Rawhide.

Tests[edit]

The test cases are split into test groups. Some of the tests are a bit time-consuming. Please perform as many tests as possible. If you aren't able to run them all, please remember that the tests in each table are sorted by importance in descending order.

You don't have to download any special scripts for each test. Our Testday package provides following commands:

  • testday-run-testname (performing tests)
  • testday-pack-results (packing results of all tests in .tag.gz file)

There is a note about permission in the description of each test. Please follow this information.

X Window System[edit]

These tests should be performed on all systems in X11 environment.

Testcase Description ETA
personal Typical use of computer (do whatever you are doing usually). CPU states and frequencies. 10 minutes
scomes Ticks, syscall count, read/written bytes when performing some specific tasks. 1 minute

Single mode[edit]

These tests should be performed in single mode.

Refraining reboots
We recommend reading the description of both tests and performing these in sequence - to refrain more reboots.
Testcase Description ETA
tuned CPU states and frequencies when tuning daemon enabled 7 minutes
basic Stress situations (BZIP2 compression, disk copying, vsftpd test) 2 minutes

Laptops[edit]

Following tests are intended only for laptops. If you don't have a laptop, don't perform these tests because they are based on capacity of a battery.

Battery
Please charge your battery before performing any test.
Testcase Description ETA
bltk Power consumption during three simulated workloads (idle, OpenOffice, reader). 15 minutes
tunedprofiles Tuned profiles effect on power consumption. 5-20 minutes
alpm A simple test to determine effect of SATA link power management settings on power consumption. 10 minutes

Results[edit]

  • Send your Smolt profile if you haven't done it already (see Prerequsite).
  • Create compressed file with results by running: testday-pack-results
  • Upload created file to this wiki.
  • Add your results into the table below.
File uploading
The testday-pack-results will create file /tmp/testday-091022-your-public-smolt-profile-uuid.tar.gz. This name should be unique. But pay attention when uploading it - do not overwrite somebody else's file!
