> You're right that the IQ and QE rings are Single Producer, Single Consumer rings. More specifically, the QE is a ring for sending rte_event structs between cores, while the IQ ring is optimized for internal use in the scheduler core - and should not be used to send events between cores. Note that the design of the SW scheduler includes a central core for performing scheduling.
Thanks Harry. One question though,
In RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_DISTRIBUTED_SCHED mode, multiple SW schedulers can
be active. Right? If so, We need multi consumer. Right?

These "event queues" are IQ instances. On egress from the scheduler, the event passes through a QE ring to the worker.

Got it.
