Message-ID: <1447984428-137897-1-git-send-email-zhihong.wang@intel.com> (raw)
This RFC patch aims to reduce DPDK initialization time, which is important in cases such as micro service.
Changes are:
1. Reduce timer initialization time
2. Remove unnecessary hugepage zero-filling operations
With this patch:
1. Timer initialization time can be reduced by 4/10 second
2. Memory initialization time can be reduced nearly by half
The 2nd topic has been brought up before in this thread:

Changes in v2:
1. Use MAP_POPULATE flag to populate page tables
2. Add comments to avoid future misunderstanding
