In an event driven model, + by contrast, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for + them based on programmer-specified criteria. Eventdev library + adds support for event driven programming model, which offer + applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing, + pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and + synchronization services to simplify application packet processing. + + By introducing event driven programming model, DPDK can support + both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing, + and applications are free to choose whatever model + (or combination of the two) that best suits their needs. + Resolved Issues --------------- -- 2.5.5
