Navigate to the application's directory in the DPDK distribution. +2. Execute the ``make`` command on Linux or ``gmake`` on FreeBSD. + +For instance, to compile the ``helloworld`` application: + +:: + + cd examples/helloworld + make # On Linux + gmake # On FreeBSD + +To run the application, use: + +:: + + ./build/helloworld -l 0-2 + +The ``-l`` option indicates the cores on which the application should run. + +Sample Applications Overview +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +1. **Hello World**: A basic application that prints a "hello world" message. +2. **Basic Forwarding**: A skeleton example of a forwarding application. +3. **Command Line**: Demonstrates the command line interface in DPDK. +4. **Ethtool**: Showcases the Ethtool API in DPDK. + +For a comprehensive list of sample applications and their guides, +refer to the `DPDK Sample Applications User Guides `_. + +EAL Parameters +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Every DPDK application is linked with the DPDK target environment’s +Environmental Abstraction Layer (EAL) library, which provides generic options. +Some of these options include: + +- ``-c COREMASK`` or ``-l CORELIST``: Specifies the cores to run on. +- ``-n NUM``: Number of memory channels per processor socket. +- ``--socket-mem``: Memory allocation from hugepages on specific sockets. + +For a detailed list of EAL options, +refer to the `EAL parameters section `. + +Running Without Root Privileges +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Refer to :ref:`running_dpdk_apps_without_root`. + +Running Applications on Windows +------------------------------- + +Running DPDK applications on Windows involves a few different steps. +This guide provides detailed instructions on how to run the helloworld example +application, which can be used as a reference for running other DPDK applications. + +Grant Lock Pages in Memory Privilege +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Use of hugepages ("large pages" in Windows terminology) requires +``SeLockMemoryPrivilege`` for the user running an application. +This privilege allows the DPDK application to keep data in physical memory, +preventing the system from paging the data to virtual memory. +This can significantly improve the performance of your DPDK applications. + +To grant this privilege: + +1. Open Local Security Policy snap-in, either through Control Panel / Computer Management / Local Security Policy, or by pressing Win+R, typing ``secpol``, and pressing Enter. +2. Open Local Policies / User Rights Assignment / Lock pages in memory. +3. Add desired users or groups to the list of grantees. + +The privilege is applied upon the next logon. If the privilege has been granted to the +current user, a logoff is required before it is available. +More details can be found in the `Large-Page Support in MSDN `_. + +Running the helloworld Example +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +After setting up the drivers, you can run the helloworld example to verify your setup. +Here are the steps: + +1. Navigate to the examples in the build directory:: + + cd C:\\Users\\me\\dpdk\\build\\examples + +2. Run the helloworld application:: + + dpdk-helloworld.exe -l 0-3 + +The output should display a hello message from each core, like this: + +:: + + hello from core 1 + hello from core 3 + hello from core 0 + hello from core 2 -- 2.41.0.windows.1
