"""Script to compare the performance of two different chromeOS builds.
This script is meant to be used when the performance impact of a change in
chromeOS needs to be analyzed. It requires that you have already created two
chromeOS test images (one with the change, and one without), and that you have
at least one device available on which to run performance tests.
This script is actually a light-weight wrapper around crosperf, a tool for
automatically imaging one or more chromeOS devices with particular builds,
running a set of tests on those builds, and then notifying the user of test
results (along with some statistical analysis of perf keyvals). This wrapper
script performs the following tasks:
1) Creates a crosperf "experiment" file to be consumed by crosperf.
2) Invokes crosperf using the created experiment file. Crosperf produces 2
outputs: an e-mail that is sent to the user who invoked it; and an output
folder that is named based on the given --experiment-name, which is created in
the directory in which this script was run.
3) Parses the results of crosperf and outputs a summary of relevant data. This
script produces output in a CSV file, as well as in stdout.
Before running this script for the first time, you should set up your system to
run sudo without prompting for a password (otherwise, crosperf prompts for a
sudo password). You should only have to do that once per host machine.
Once you're set up with passwordless sudo, you can run the script (preferably
from an empty directory, since several output files are produced):
> python perf_compare.py --crosperf=CROSPERF_EXE --image-1=IMAGE_1 \
--image-2=IMAGE_2 --board-1=BOARD_1 --board-2=BOARD_2 --remote-1=REMOTE_1 \
--remote-2=REMOTE_2
You'll need to specify the following inputs: the full path to the crosperf
executable; the absolute paths to 2 locally-built chromeOS images (which must
reside in the "typical location" relative to the chroot, as required by
crosperf); the name of the boards associated with the 2 images (if both images
have the same board, you can specify that single board with --board=BOARD); and
the IP addresses of the 2 remote devices on which to run crosperf (if you have
only a single device available, specify it with --remote=REMOTE). Run with -h to
see the full set of accepted command-line arguments.
Notes:
1) When you run this script, it will delete any previously-created crosperf
output directories and created CSV files based on the specified
--experiment-name. If you don't want to lose any old crosperf/CSV data, either
move it to another location, or run this script with a different
--experiment-name.
2) This script will only run the benchmarks and process the perf keys specified
in the file "perf_benchmarks.json". Some benchmarks output more perf keys than
what are specified in perf_benchmarks.json, and these will appear in the
crosperf outputs, but not in the outputs produced specifically by this script.
