32、te domains i.1 usually need access to a clock with accurate time-of-day (or simply time) and sources of periodic interrupts. Time sources are accessed to provide timestamps for events and log entries that document the recent history of the compute environment. Periodic interrupts provide a trigger t

33、o increment counters and read current conditions in the compute and networking environments. The compute domain may contain a very large number of NFV compute nodes i.1, and each node needs to execute a process to synchronize its hardware and system clocks to a source of accurate time-of -day, prefe

34、rably traceable to an international time standard. With the foundation of time, date, and periodic interrupts, a measurement system can determine the beginning and end of time intervals, which is a fundamental aspect of metrics that involve counting and collecting events. Table 4-1 specifies require

35、ments applicable to time, date, and periodic interrupts. Table 4-1: Requirements applicable to time, date and periodic interrupts General-Time-01 Each node in the compute domain shall be able to take readings from (or access) a clock with accurate time-of-day and calendar date. General-Time-02 Each

36、node in the compute domain shall have a source of periodic interrupts available which are derived from the time-of-day clock, with configurable period (a parameter of metrics that use this feature). ETSI ETSI GS NFV-TST 008 V3.1.1 (2018-08)7 When the results from measurement systems are collected an

37、d reported by management systems, the management systems may provide an additional time and date reading associated with the operation to collect the results, using their own time source. 5 Framework for Metric Definitions The metric definitions in the present document are primarily based on the fac

38、t that the resources of the NFVI have utilization and performance characteristics that can be assessed by measurement processes. The resources may be implemented in hardware, software (such as virtual resources), or a combination of both. The measurement processes are primarily implemented in softwa

39、re (such as in the kernel or user space), but may be assisted by features of the hardware. The measured NFVI resources and the measurement processes shall be completely specified in the dimensions of model numbers, firmware versions, software versions, and any other aspects that influence the result

40、s (such as physical location of the components within a datacentres racks and shelves). For example, the fixed frequency of the physical CPU clock in Hz, which governs the rate that the CPU executes instructions, is one important descriptor of the NFVI. Clock Speed may depend on other CPU settings,

41、such as energy-saving power control. For one list of NFVI platform descriptors, see clause 5.1 of ETSI GS NFV-IFA 003 i.9. For each metric it specifies, the present document provides the following elements: Background Name Parameters (input factors) Scope of coverage Unit(s) of measure Definition Me

42、thod of Measurement Sources of Error Discussion NOTE: The present document specifies well-known metrics, and assumes that Virtual Infrastructure Managers (VIM) will control and expose the metrics as specified here, or will be enhanced to collect and convey the metrics with the required framework ele

43、ments, which are Name, Parameters, Scope, Units of measure, and the source of the measurement (where the metric was measured, which may be synonymous with the Scope). 6 Compute Metrics 6.1 Background The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is an essential component of every coherent compute domain. Each C

44、PU is a limited resource in terms of the instructions per second it can execute. It is valuable to monitor the utilization of the CPU resource to fulfil the goals of maintaining continued and efficient operations, and for troubleshooting abnormal behaviour to find root causes. For many uses, it is h

45、elpful to categorize the CPUs execution time into multiple execution contexts, such as system and user contexts. A compute node may include additional processors beyond the main CPU; the metrics specified in this clause can also be used to measure and report the usage of such processors. ETSI ETSI G

46、S NFV-TST 008 V3.1.1 (2018-08)8 VNFs also have a view of CPU resources in terms of execution time they have used during a measurement interval. However, the configured instantiation of the VNF determines how to map its view of virtual processor resource usage to actual hardware CPU resources availab

47、le and used. For example, a VNFs processes may be pinned to one or more CPU cores, or the VNF may be sharing the resources of many CPU cores with other VNFs. 6.2 Name There are two variants of this metric: Processor Usage Processor Utilization The two variants allow reporting this metric as a percen

48、tage. The metric is a function of the scope, set of reported contexts, measurement interval and other factors. 6.3 Parameters The following parameters shall be supported for this metric: Tick interval: the period of timed interrupts when the processors execution context can be recorded. Note that this parameter is an integral part of the method of measurement. The tick interval is sometimes called a “jiffy“. The tick interval is controlled by a system parameter, “HZ“, whose default value shall be 250 Hz for measurements complying with the present document. Set of execution contexts:
