[PATCH 5/5] selftests/resctrl: Reduce failures due to outliers in MBA/MBM tests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5% difference upper bound for success is a bit on the low side for the
MBA and MBM tests. Some platforms produce outliers that are slightly
above that, typically 6-7%.

Relaxing the MBA/MBM success bound to 8% removes most of the failures
due those frequent outliers.
