• Merging and improving Sampling Model - working, but not yet ported version was implemented and presented to the team by Jiong Wang in December 2022.

• Testing and CI/CD.

  • Investigate if we can have Pipeline with x86 → ARM64 build as a sanity check

  • Improve testing: both unit test and functional testing for WindowsPeprf project.

  • When we write code, especially in wperf now we can add unit tests in wperf-test project or add functional tests to wperf_cli_test.py.

• Sign WindowsPerf Windows driver. We need to:

  • Make sure we can release WindowsPerf as a tool developers can use (as intended):

  • We want users to use WindowsPerf the same way Linux users use perf.

  • We want hassle free Windows Kernel Driver installation (wperf-driver).

  • We want users to use WindowsPerf on their machines without need to disable e.g. SecureBoot.

Additional discussion

Everton Constantino , Niyas Sait (Deactivated) and Przemyslaw Wirkus discusses future of the project. There are few concerns we have. Please see below:

• Testing on variety of Arm HW.

  • Note: We want to test (during milestones, releases but also during development) WindowsPerf project (both driver and app) on various Arm HW. We want to cover different HW configurations.

  • Proposal: test on 2-3 widely available platforms like Volterra, Lenovo X13s.

• Windows Driver signing may not be as easy and painless as we’ve suspected.

  • Note: if Windows driver signing is lomg process we want to release driver infrequently focusing on wperf (app) rich features and generic driver functionality - this may be hard to achieve.
