TestEngineering/Performance/Platforms

This page details the hardware profiles of all machines used for running performance tests in automation. All performance tests run on physical hardware. Every attempt to run these tests in a virtualised environment has resulted in the hypervisor getting in the way and creating too much noise in the tests, no matter how much we try and tweak it.

All hardware listed below is maintained by Mozilla's operations team.
