We need more and more machines, implying more manufacturing, more shipping, more powering and more cooling. With DPDK, every CPU cycle matters in order to achieve a high throughput. It helps to reduce the number of required machines for maximum load. Using machine capabilities at best is a case of power efficiency. There in another case to consider regarding our energy footprint. When the machines are not under heavy load, we can reduce powering and cool= ing. This case requires power management to be well integrated with DPDK systems. Last but not the least, the power efficiency must be considered for every hardwares used in datacenters and telecom equipments. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
