Detailed Testing information
DPDK SW Configuration:
Default x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc configuration
Test Result Summary: Total 2 cases, 2 passed, 0 failed
Test Case - name:
Continuous Mode Performance
Test Case - Description:
Measure continuous mode cycles/packet in NIC loopback
mode
Test Case -command / instruction:
Set stream control mode to continuous
RTE>>set_rxtx_sc continuous
Choose rx/tx pair between vector|scalar|full|hybrid
RTE>>set_rxtx_mode vector
Start pmd performance measurement
RTE>>pmd_perf_autotest
Test Case - expected test result:
Test result is OK and output cycle number for each
packet.
Test Case - name:
Burst Mode Performance
Test Case - Description:
Measure burst mode cycles/packet in NIC loopback mode
Test Case -command / instruction:
Start unit test sample
Set stream control mode to poll_before_xmit or
poll_after_xmit
RTE>>set_rxtx_sc poll_before_xmit
Start pmd performance measurement
RTE>>pmd_perf_autotest
Start pmd performance measurement
RTE>>pmd_perf_autotest
Test Case - expected test result:
Test result is OK and output cycle number for each
packet.

>
> It provides unit test to measure cycles/packet in NIC loopback mode.
> It simply gives the average cycles of IO used per packet without test
> equipment.
> When doing the test, make sure the link is UP.
>
> There's two stream control mode support, one is continues, another is burst.
> The former continues to forward the injected packets until reaching a certain
> amount of number.
> The latter one stop when all the injected packets are received.
> In burst stream, now measure two situations, with or without desc. cache
> conflict.
> By default, it runs in continues stream mode to measure the whole rxtx.
>
> Usage Example:
> 1. Run unit test app in interactive mode
> app/test -c f -n 4 -- -i
> 2. Set stream control mode, by default is continuous
> set_rxtx_sc [continuous|poll_before_xmit|poll_after_xmit]
> 3. If choose continuous stream, there are another two options can configure
> 3.1 choose rx/tx pair, default is vector
> set_rxtx_mode [vector|scalar|full|hybrid]
> Note: To get acurate scalar fast, plz choose 'vector' or 'hybrid'
> without
> INC_VEC=y in config
> 3.2 choose the area of masurement, default is rxtx
> set_rxtx_anchor [rxtx|rxonly|txonly]
> 4. Run and wait for the result
> pmd_perf_autotest
>
> For who simply just want to see how much cycles cost per packet.
> Compile DPDK, Run 'app/test', and type 'pmd_perf_autotest', that's it.
> Nothing else needs to configure.
> Using other options when you understand and what to measures more.
