Subject: [dpdk-dev] [memnic PATCH v2 7/7] pmd: burst mbuf freeing in xmit
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 11:15:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7F861DC0615E0C47A872E6F3C5FCDDBD02AE26EC@BPXM14GP.gisp.nec.co.jp> (raw)

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>

In rte_pktmbuf_free(), there might be cache miss/memory stall issue.
In small packet case, it could harm the performance.

>From the result of memnic-tester, in less than 1024 frame size the
performance could be improved.

Using Xeon E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz, 4 vCPU.
