Subject: core performance

Message-ID: <595544330.11681349.1727123476579@mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

We are seeing different dpdk threads (launched via rte_eal_remote_launch()), demonstrate very different performance.
After placing counters all over the code, we realize that some threads are uniformly slow, in other words there is no application level issue that is throttling one thread over the other. We come to the conculsion that either the Cores on which they are running are not at the same frequency which seems doubtful or the threads are not getting a chance to execute on the cores uniformly.
It seems that isolcpus has been deprecated in recent versions of linux.
What is the recommended approach to prevent the kernel from utilizing some CPU threads, for anything other than the threads that are launched on them.
Is there some API in dpdk which also helps us determine which CPU core the thread is pinned to?
I did not find any code in dpdk which actually performed pinning of a thread to a CPU core.
In our case it is more or less certain that the different threads are simply not getting the same CPU core time, as a result some are demonstrating higher throughput than the others ...
how do we fix this?
