openvino/tests/stress_tests

Stress Tests Suite

This test suite contains tests evaluating the behavior of various OpenVINO use cases under stress conditions:

• MemCheckTests measuring memory required for the use cases and fail when memory usage exceeds a pre-defined level.

• StressMemLeaksTests ensure that the use cases does not increase memory levels when executing continuously.

• StressUnitTests executing various Inference Engine use cases in parallel threads and processes.

Each test refers to configuration files located in <test dir>\local_configs folder. The configuration files are installed along with tests on build time.

Getting Started

Stress tests are based on the googletest framework. You can filter tests with --gtest_filter and explore tests available with --gtest_list_tests options.

Tests measuring memory have a temporary limitation - those need to be executed one at a time to mitigate memory statistics pollution. You can use gtest-parallel for massive tests execution.

Pre-requisites

• Linux OS to build the tests.

• gtest-parallel to execute tests.

Building Tests

Stress tests should be built in 2 steps.

1. Build openvino

Build openvino as usual but with -DENABLE_TESTS=ON.

2. Build stress_tests

Stress tests depend from the Inference Engine Developer Package located in the openvino build directory.

In the command line snippet bellow, it is assumed that the Inference Engine Developer Package CMake module can be found in the directory build under openvino repository root.

(
export OPENVINO_BUILD_DIR=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/build
mkdir -p build && cd build && \
cmake -DInferenceEngineDeveloperPackage_DIR=$OPENVINO_BUILD_DIR .. && make -j$(nproc) \
)

Preparing Test Data

Stress tests may work with models from Open Model Zoo. To use it, download and convert models to IRs using ./scripts/get_testdata.py script. Script will update test config file with data required for OMZ models execution.

From Intel network you can use models from cache at vdp_tests file share. Refer to VDP shared folders on using file shares.

Running Tests

gtest-parallel <openvino_bin>/StressMemLeaksTests

For MemCheckTests preferable way is:

python ./scripts/run_memcheck.py --gtest_parallel <gtest_parallel_py_path> 
<openvino_bin>/MemCheckTests -- --test_conf=<test_conf_path> --refs_conf=<refs_conf_path>

MemCheckTests logs can be used to gather reference values based on current memory consumption:

mkdir -p MemCheckTests-logs && \
gtest-parallel -d ./MemCheckTests-logs ./MemCheckTests && \
grep -rh ./MemCheckTests-logs -e ".*<model " | sed -e "s/.*<model /<model /" | sort
