+Multiple Pthread Test
+=====================
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This test is a basic multiple pthread test which demonstrates the basics 
+of control group. Cgroup is a Linux kernel feature that limits, accounts 
+for and isolates the resource usage, like CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, 
+etc of a collection of processes. Now, it's focus on the CPU usage. 
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+Support igb_uio driver, kernel is 3.11+. 
+Use "modeprobe uio" "modprobe igb_uio" and then 
+use "./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio device_bus_id" to bind the ports.
+
+Assuming that an Intel� DPDK build has been set up and the testpmd
+applications have been built.
+
+Os required: Linux and FreeBSD
+
+Test Case 1: Basic operation
+----------------------------
+
+To run the application, start the testpmd with the lcoress all running with 
+threads and also the unique core assigned, command as follows::
+
+    ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores='0@8,(4-5)@9' -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc
+    EAL: Master lcore 0 is ready (tid=ffd4900;cpuset=[8])
+    EAL: lcore 4 is ready (tid=873e7700;cpuset=[9])
+    EAL: lcore 5 is ready (tid=873e7700;cpuset=[9])
+
+To check the output, we shall make sure the lcore are init on the correct cpu. 
+e.g. Duing INIT log we can found below:
+
+The process should start successfully and display a command prompt as follows::
+
+    ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores='0@8,(4-5)@9' -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc
+    Checking link statuses...
+    Port 0 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
+    Port 1 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
+    Done
+
+Start the packet forwarding as follows::
+	
+    testpmd>set fwd mac
+
+Before running the test, make sure the core is a unique one otherwise, 
+the throughput will be floating on different cores, 
+another thing is to make sure all the logic cores are running, command as follows::
+
+    testpmd>set corelist 4,5
+
+Pay attention that set corelist need to be configured before start, 
+otherwise, it will not work::
+
+    testpmd>start
+    testpmd>show config fwd
+
+Using the command to find the threads that's running, as follows::
+	
+    ps -C testpmd -L -opid,tid,%cpu,psr,args
+
+Result as follows:
+
+       PID    TID %CPU PSR COMMAND
+    179459 179459  0.2   8 ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores=0 at 8,(4-5)@9 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc
+    179459 179460  0.0  21 ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores=0 at 8,(4-5)@9 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc
+    179461  0.0  21 ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores=0 at 8,(4-5)@9 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc
+    179459 179462 80.4   9 ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores=0 at 8,(4-5)@9 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc
+    179459 179463  0.0   9 ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores=0 at 8,(4-5)@9 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc
+
+You will see that there are two threads running on core 9. 
+The last 2 threads are running threads, their TID will be assigned to the tasks in the folder thread0.
+
+    cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/dpdk/thread0
+    echo 179462 > tasks
+    echo 179463 > tasks
+
+Assgined the percentage of cpu these two threads occupy as follows:	
+	
+    echo 10000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us
+
+This means the two threads will totally occupy 10% of the CPU and each 5%.
+
+
