Hi All, This is Monika. I am new to DPDK. I just installed DPDK release - 18.05 on my server and trying to run "testpmd"
Here is my command and its output :- sudo testpmd -l 8 -n 4 -c 0x3 --socket-mem=512,512 EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 3 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 1 as core 3 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 2 as core 4 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 3 as core 4 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 4 as core 5 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 5 as core 5 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 6 as core 6 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 7 as core 6 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 8 as core 10 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 9 as core 10 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 10 as core 11 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 11 as core 11 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 12 as core 3 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 13 as core 3 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 14 as core 4 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 15 as core 4 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 16 as core 5 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 17 as core 5 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 18 as core 6 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 19 as core 6 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 20 as core 10 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 21 as core 10 on socket 1 EAL: Detected lcore 22 as core 11 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 23 as core 11 on socket 1 EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration.
