1509974 - move awsy (windows10-64-qr) from hardware to virtual-with-gpu on windows 10

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: Windows OS, task)

Description

[Rob Thijssen [:grenade (EET/UTC+0300)]]

awsy on windows10-64-qr have been running on hardware due to problems in bug 1372172 which have now been resolved with release of a new ami.

modify the test configuration so that these tests occur on gecko-t-win10-64-gpu instead of gecko-t-win10-64-hw.

the required change is something like this:

So, there are two issues here besides the noise:
(1) I'm pretty sure this caused bug 1510328, wherein the AWSY job crashes very frequently. I've done some retriggers to confirm.
(2) The AWSY score with WebRender disabled goes up significantly.

For (2): I've been doing try pushes wherein I disable WebRender on a QR job to establish a reliable baseline. My most-recent try push before this change [1] shows Resident numbers in the ~530 ballpark. My try push after this change [2] shows Resident numbers in the ~600 ballpark, with significantly more noise.

If gecko-t-win10-64-gpu is the configuration we want long-term for AWSY with Windows (to measure GPU rendering, which is what most of our users get), it seems like a good next step would be to flip this configuration on for regular windows as well, so that we can compare apples-to-apples. grenade, wdyt?
