These are minutes from our first sprint in WPERF project. This sprint is done in unusual way as there’s a one major task of porting wperf and wperf-driver tools to new WDF Kernel Driver framework. This task is overshadowed by us waiting for approval for Arm’s internal wperf and wperf driver prototype. Good news is that wperf-driver got the green light, and we will be able to open-source it as soon as porting development is finished.

This sprint

• wperf-driver (Windows Kernel driver) got a green light from Arm and can be open-sourced.

• wperf application open-source approval is still pending but we should expect it to be approved very soon.

• wperf & wperf-driver porting is ongoing. See WPERF-3 and WPERF-11

• We have two working mailing lists (created by Niyas):

  • wperf@linaro.org - For wider project-related announcements.

  • team-wperf@linaro.org - For team internal discussions

  • All on lists should’ve received a test email from me on both lists (around Sept 20^th).

    • Subject of test email was “Test email EOM”.

    • If you think you’ve not received this email or you are not on the list please contact Niyas Sait niyas.sait@linaro.org.

• We have a new Slack channel #team-wperf (created by Niyas).

  • I can see latest invite was sent on Sept 14^th by Niyas.

  • Unfortunately for me (Przemyslaw Wirkus ) invitation for this channel is still pending (blocked Arm Slack admin) and I can’t join.

• WindowsPerf project JIRA.

  • You should be able to access JIRA backlog and other project resources already: https://linaro.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/WPERF/boards/169/backlog?issueLimit=100.

• WindowsPerf project Confluence.

  • You should be able to access confluence and other project resources already https://linaro.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WPERF.

• WindowsPerf staffing page is here: Performance Analysis Tool

 Next sprint

• Finalize wperf wperf-driver porting and open-source both.

• Breakdown tasks for refactoring and bug-fixing.

• Plan for  above.

• Other team members can already set up development environment and build and try simple Microsoft KMDF example:

  • I will send instructions for this in a separate email.

  • https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/main/general/echo/kmdf

• Przemyslaw Wirkus Send instructions (before Sprint 2 start) with information on how to set up development environment and how to build and run Kernel/App Microsoft example.

kind regards,
Przemyslaw Wirkus
