In order to provide high performance in packet processing, developing Intel DPDK requires rather good optimization, like extensive use of SSE intrinsics etc. Hence it demands x86 arch. Since Intel DPDK is opensource, there is no license restriction to run it on any arch, but I guess one will face rather intriguing technical issues doing that :) 03.07.2014 19:35, Derek Wasely пишет: > how about running DPDK on other processors ? Any licensing restriction on using it on non-x86 arch ? Does it work automatically on say PPC or OCTEON ? -- Sincerely, Yerden Zhumabekov STS, ACI Astana, KZ
