It shows how an +application can configure a pipeline and assign a set of worker cores to +perform the processing required. + +The application has a range of command line arguments allowing it to be +configured for various numbers worker cores, stages,queue depths and cycles per +stage of work. This is useful for performance testing as well as quickly testing +a particular pipeline configuration. + + +Compiling the Application +------------------------- + +To compile the application: + +#. Go to the sample application directory: + + .. code-block:: console + + export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk + cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/eventdev_pipeline + +#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example: + + .. code-block:: console + + export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc + + See the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for possible RTE_TARGET values. + +#. Build the application: + + .. code-block:: console + + make + +Running the Application +----------------------- + +The application has a lot of command line options. This allows specification of +the eventdev PMD to use, and a number of attributes of the processing pipeline +options. + +An example eventdev pipeline running with the software eventdev PMD using +these settings is shown below: + + * ``-r1``: core mask 0x1 for RX + * ``-t1``: core mask 0x1 for TX + * ``-e4``: core mask 0x4 for the software scheduler + * ``-w FF00``: core mask for worker cores, 8 cores from 8th to 16th + * ``-s4``: 4 atomic stages + * ``-n0``: process infinite packets (run forever) + * ``-c32``: worker dequeue depth of 32 + * ``-W1000``: do 1000 cycles of work per packet in each stage + * ``-D``: dump statistics on exit + +.. code-block:: console + + ./build/eventdev_pipeline_sw --vdev event_sw0 -- -r1 -t1 -e4 -w FF00 -s4 -n0 -c32 -W1000 -D + +The application has some sanity checking built-in, so if there is a function +(eg; the RX core) which doesn't have a cpu core mask assigned, the application +will print an error message: + +.. code-block:: console + + Core part of pipeline was not assigned any cores. This will stall the + pipeline, please check core masks (use -h for details on setting core masks): + rx: 0 + tx: 1 + +Configuration of the eventdev is covered in detail in the programmers guide, +see the Event Device Library section. + + +Observing the Application +------------------------- + +At runtime the eventdev pipeline application prints out a summary of the +configuration, and some runtime statistics like packets per second. On exit the +worker statistics are printed, along with a full dump of the PMD statistics if +required. The following sections show sample output for each of the output +types. + +Configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This provides an overview of the pipeline, +scheduling type at each stage, and parameters to options such as how many +flows to use and what eventdev PMD is in use. See the following sample output +for details: + +.. code-block:: console + + Config: + ports: 2 + workers: 8 + packets: 0 + priorities: 1 + Queue-prio: 0 + qid0 type: atomic + Cores available: 44 + Cores used: 10 + Eventdev 0: event_sw + Stages: + Stage 0, Type Atomic Priority = 128 + Stage 1, Type Atomic Priority = 128 + Stage 2, Type Atomic Priority = 128 + Stage 3, Type Atomic Priority = 128 + +Runtime +~~~~~~~ + +At runtime, the statistics of the consumer are printed, stating the number of +packets received, runtime in milliseconds, average mpps, and current mpps. + +.. code-block:: console + + # consumer RX= xxxxxxx, time yyyy ms, avg z.zzz mpps [current w.www mpps] + +Shutdown +~~~~~~~~ + +At shutdown, the application prints the number of packets received and +transmitted, and an overview of the distribution of work across worker cores. + +.. code-block:: console + + Signal 2 received, preparing to exit... + worker 12 thread done. RX=4966581 TX=4966581 + worker 13 thread done. RX=4963329 TX=4963329 + worker 14 thread done. RX=4953614 TX=4953614 + worker 0 thread done. RX=0 TX=0 + worker 11 thread done.
