How to make sense of the talos results

General Rules

Graph names are constructed as follows:
[Test Name]_[Data Collected]_[Graph Type][:Optional Result]

Test Name

  • ts (test start time)
  • tp (test performance)

    • Data Collected

  • l (loadtimes)
  • pbytes (private bytes - a measure of memory allocated)
  • memset (memory set size - another measure of memory allocated, win only)
  • %cpu (percent of cpu usage)
  • rss (resident memory size - a measure of memory allocated, linux only)

    • Graph Type

  • 1 (indicates that this is a graph of the results of this test only)
  • T (indicates that this is a graph of the average result of this test graphed against all previous runs of the test)

    • Optional Result

  • this is the average result for that metric over this test

    • How are the stats calculated?

    Stats are calculated in the same way as the old perf tests.

    An average is the average result for a given metric for a test with the maximum result removed.

    Individual loadtimes are calculated by taking the median of all results after removing the maximum result.
