--------------------------------------
Summary: Automate performance testing and reporting
Key: SYSTEMML-1451
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-1451
Project: SystemML
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure, Test
Reporter: Nakul Jindal
As part of a release (and in general), performance tests are run for SystemML.
Currently, running and reporting on these performance tests are a manual
process. There are helper scripts, but largely the process is manual.
The aim of this GSoC 2017 project is to automate performance testing and its
reporting.
These are the tasks that this entails
1. Automate running of the performance tests, including generation of test data
2. Detect errors and report if any
3. Record performance benchmarking information
4. Automatically compare this performance to previous version to check for
performance regressions
5. Automatically compare to Spark MLLib, R?, Julia?
6. Prepare report with all the information about failed jobs, performance
information, perf info against other comparable projects/algorithms (plotted/in
plain text in CSV, PDF or other common format)
7. Create scripts to automatically run this process on a cloud provider that
spins up machines, runs the test, saves the reports and spins down the machines.
8. Create a web application to do this interactively without dropping down into
a shell.
As part of this project, the student will need to know scripting (in Bash,
Python, etc). It may also involve changing error reporting and performance
reporting code in SystemML.
Rating - Medium (for the amount of work)
