As I might have mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the micro benchmarks are already there, in the form of the service and random perf tests. The service perf tests doesn't show any difference, and the rand perf tests seems to indicate lcore variables add one (1) core clock cycle per rte_rand() call (measured on Raptor Lake E- and P-cores). The effects on a real-world app would be highly dependent on what DPDK services it's using that themselves are using static per-lcore data, and to what extent the app itself use per-lcore data. Provided lcore variables performs as good as the cache-aligned static array pattern for micro benchmarks, lcore variables should always be-as-good-or-better in a real-world app, because the cache working set size will always be smaller (no padding). That said, I don't think lcore variables will result in noticable performance gain for the typical app. If you do see large gains, I suspect it will be on systems with next-N-lines prefetchers and the lcore data weren't RTE_CACHE_GUARDed. > Other PMU counters(Cache misses) may be interesting but we dont have > means in DPDK to do self monitoring now like > https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20221213104350.3218167-1-tduszynski@marvell.com/ > >> >> Lcore variables are similar to thread-local storage (TLS, e.g., C11 >> _Thread_local), but decoupling the values' life time with that of the >> threads. >> >> Lcore variables are also similar in terms of functionality provided by >> FreeBSD kernel's DPCPU_*() family of macros and the associated >> build-time machinery.
