Hey Folks, In my application, I'm seeing some design considerations in a project I'm working on that push me towards the use of smaller memory page sizes. I'm curious - is it possible in practical terms to run DPDK without hugepages? If so, does anybody have any practical experience (or a back-of-the-envelop estimate) of how badly such a configuration would hurt performance? For sake of argument, assume that virtually all of the memory being used is in pre-allocated mempools (e.g lots of rte_mempool_create(), very little rte_malloc().
Thanks in advance for your help. -- Matt Laswell
