Hi,
What MCS/code allocation did you use to create such code block? I would expect 
that from 3gpp specs, all TB size would end up being a multiple of 8 bits.
Thanks,
Nic

Subject: Input length paramter in DPDK-BBdev

Hello Devs,

I hope this email finds you well.

I am reaching out to seek assistance regarding an issue I am facing in 
DPDK-BBdev utility, (v22.11).

I am performing some tests over a 5G Accelerator, ACC200 using DPDK-BBdev. I am 
creating custom test-vector files to generate custom load over the ACC200 
device. Currently, I am performing the LDPC encoding test through code block 
mode. I am creating the test-vector files with help of an open-source library, 
sionna (https://nvlabs.github.io/sionna/). I have successfully executed many 
tests with vector files created using Sionna.

However, I seem to have encountered an edge case. When the input length is a 
multiple of 32 bits, the tests run successfully. But when the input length is 
not a multiple of 32 bits, I face an error in BBdev regarding the output value. 
For instance, please look up the following vector file where my input is of 60 
bits.

      op_type =
      RTE_BBDEV_OP_LDPC_ENC

      input0=
      0xa479e349, 0x3610be1

      output0=
      0x10be419a,0xf3550f36,0xc6db13e5,0x674054

      basegraph=
      2

      z_c=
      10

      q_m=
      1

      n_filler=
      40

      n_cb=
      500

      e=
      120

      rv_index =
      0

      code_block_mode =
      1

      op_flags =
      RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_RATE_MATCH

      expected_status =
      OK


When I execute the test through test-BBdev command:

      ./test-bbdev.py -e="-l 11 --vfio-vf-token=${UUID} --allow 0000:f7:00.2 
--log-level lib.bbdev:debug" -l 4 -v /root/cb_mode_60_120.data -c validation

I face the following error:

      == test: validation
      dev:0000:f7:00.2, burst size: 32, num ops: 32, op type:

On the other hand, when I create a vector file from a input of 64/128/2400/... 
bits, the tests run successfully.

I would like to understand if there is any incorrect configuration on my part 
or if this flow, where input bits are not a multiple of 32, is unsupported?

Tagging @nicolas.chau...@intel.com<mailto:nicolas.chau...@intel.com>, as I see 
a lot of contribution from your end.

Any insights or guidance to help resolve this issue would be highly 
appreciated. If you need any more details, please feel free to ask.

Thank you for your time and assistance!
