performance improvements and gwt-rpc switch

Hi everyone, For the upcoming oVirt 4.1, the UX team has been focused hard on webadmin performance improvements. There have been some reports [1] [2] of UI sluggishness in both 3.6 and 4.0, usually after the browser had been open some time, and usually in scale environments. After some research, we determined that the primary cause of this sluggishness was memory leaks. We embarked on several weeks of hunting down memory leak bugs and squashing them. Alexander Wels and Vojtech Szocs led this work, and I helped test the performance of each patch as they created them. As they created patches to squash leaks, performance kept getting better and better. Today we've merged the last of our patches [*], and I'm happy to announce that we are now seeing much better UI performance on 4.1-master and 4.0.6. Over the course of several hours with the browser window open, users should see no sluggishness at all. [*] This last patch switches oVirt from using de-rpc to gwt-rpc in the frontend. This improves performance, but it also allows us to upgrade to GWT 2.8. We'd been previously blocked on that. If you're interested in UI performance testing, continue reading. If not, you can stop here :) ..... To verify our performance improvements, we took some simple measurements using selenium webdriver. The tests were unscientific, but very helpful. We ran a webdriver flow through oVirt that clicked some buttons and tabs and refreshed some grids. We did it a few hundred or thousand times. The tests were run using stubbed hosts (ovirt-vdsmfake) so that only the engine and UI were under test. Below are the important takeaways. The x axis is time, and each point on a graph is a loop through the same webdriver flow. The (ms) y axes are response times, and memory is in MB. In this graph, we compare oVirt 4.1 with and without our most impactful patch applied. As you can see, with the patch applied, response time stays flat for 200 loops of my test script over the course of 18 and 43 minutes. Without the patch applied, response time quickly degraded such that 200 loops of my test script took 1 hr 2 minutes vs. 18 minutes with the patch applied -- a 66% improvement! [image: Inline image 1] In this graph [ignore the spike], we tested oVirt hard for 6 hours 25 minutes (2000 loops). As you can see, the response times stay relatively flat over 6 hours! This is a great improvement. Do note that the memory is still growing, albeit much more slowly now. You can see towards the end of this run, maybe around hour 5, that the deviation starts to go up (the line thickens). Takeaway: maybe refresh your browser after many hours of having webadmin open. But, this is a stress test -- I'm betting users won't notice this slowdown after even 6 hours of regular webadmin use or idling. Last, here is a graph that shows gwt-rpc performing slightly better than de-rpc. Memory consumption is about the same -- gwt-rpc is just a faster rpc implementation. Reply with any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Last, here is a graph that shows gwt-rpc performing slightly better than de-rpc. Memory consumption is about the same -- gwt-rpc is just a faster rpc implementation.
I'm wondering if we have any data about de-rpc vs. gwt-rpc under WAN conditions. With latency (say, 70ms, based on [1]) and possibly some packet loss (0.5% should suffice). Y. [1] http://www.internettrafficreport.com/30day.htm

We did WAN testing for the memory leaks, but not for the rpc change. (The ask got misinterpreted by me -- my bad.) I'll get you some results for this this week. Greg

Thanks Greg for the excellent write-up! oVirt WebAdmin UI is quite complex, with lots of abstractions (the GWT technology being a Java-on-top-of-Web-APIs abstraction itself) as well as many features (and lots of dialogs..) so this task wasn't easy, but I guess we managed to get UI into a stabilized state now. Dialogs (non-singleton by design) were a major source of memory leaks, so we added UI infra to ensure automatic dialog cleanup. In 4.2, we'd like to upgrade GWT SDK version to latest stable (2.8.x) which will hopefully improve GWT compiler performance and, importantly, allow us to use Java 8 language features in our GWT UI code.

looks like great work has been done here. following QE validation and internal customers input assuming feedback is very positive and regressions are covered , i would like to take this information to our customers. would probably worth a post on rhev-tech. what are the exceptions for the performance boost due to the changes on 3.6 branch?

I'm working on 3.6 now. My expectation is that we can speed it up a bit, but it'll never be as fast as 4.0.6/4.1. Unless we decide to commit time to it, in which case we've proven that it can be done, it's just a matter of resources.

Sorry for getting a little offtopic, but I'm really confused: It was stated somewhere that 3.6.7 will be the last release, and there has not been an official 3.6. release since then, but otoh there seems to be ongoing work on 3.6, see: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/admin/projects/ovirt-engine,branches there are branches for 3.6.8 and 3.6.9 already. Will there be future 3.6 releases, or not? Or is this just work for downstream RHEV which will get support much longer? It would be nice if someone could clarify this.

that's right - it's part of the add value for our downstream/product customers.

I'm working on 3.6 now. My expectation is that we can speed it up a bit, but it'll never be as fast as 4.0.6/4.1. Unless we decide to commit time to it, in which case we've proven that it can be done, it's just a matter of resources.
Sorry for getting a little offtopic, but I'm really confused:
It was stated somewhere that 3.6.7 will be the last release, and there has not been an official 3.6. release since then, but otoh there seems to be ongoing work on 3.6, see:
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/admin/projects/ovirt-engine,branches
there are branches for 3.6.8 and 3.6.9 already.
Will there be future 3.6 releases, or not?
we aren't planning to issue any upstream 3.6 based release
Or is this just work for downstream RHEV which will get support much longer?
that's right - it's part of the add value for our downstream/product customers.
Of course all changes done for downstream RHEV 3.6 are merged into upstream oVirt 3.6 repositories, so you can always build up-to-date oVirt 3.6 from source codes.
It would be nice if someone could clarify this.
hope it helps.

Personally I really would like to see additional 3.6.z releases,
especially with these performance improvements around the webui.
Thanks and sorry for hijacking this thread.
