  1. 2 Legal Disclaimers Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on

    system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at intel.com. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Tests document performance of components on a particular test, in specific systems. Differences in hardware, software, or configuration will affect actual performance. Consult other sources of information to evaluate performance as you consider your purchase. For more complete information about performance and benchmark results, visit http://www.intel.com/benchmarks . Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more complete information visit http://www.intel.com/benchmarks . Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice. Cost reduction scenarios described are intended as examples of how a given Intel-based product, in the specified circumstances and configurations, may affect future costs and provide cost savings.

Generally, 1G huge pages are used for performance test. Vectorization good for some applications to boost performance
  13. 15 High Performance Challenges The system can’t keep up with

    the number of interrupts for packet Rx:  Switch from an interrupt-driven network device driver to a polled-mode driver. The Linux scheduler causes too much overhead for task switches:  Bind a single software thread to a logical core. Memory and PCIe access is really slow compared to CPU operations: • Process a bunch of packets during each software iteration and amortize the access cost over multiple packets. Data doesn’t seem to be near the CPU when it needs to be:  For memory access, use HW or SW controlled prefetching. For PCIe access, use Data Direct IO to write data directly into cache. Access to shared data structures is a bottleneck:  Use access schemes that reduce the amount of sharing (e.g. lockless queues for message passing). Page tables are constantly evicted (DTLB Thrashing):  Allow Linux to use Huge Pages (2MB, 1GB)
  14. 16 Achieving Performance on the Processor HW Concepts Comments Vector

    instruction set CPU core supports vector instructions SSE: 128-bit integer, AVX1:128-bit integer, AVX2: 256-bit integer, AVX3 512-bit integer Huge-pages Intel CPUs support 4K, 2MB and 1GB page sizes. Picking the right page size for the data structure minimizes TLB thrashing. DPDK uses hugetlbfs to manage physically mapped huge page area Hardware prefetch Intel CPUs support prefetching data into all levels of the cache hierarchy (L1, L2, LLC). Cache and memory alignment DPDK aligns all its data structures to 64B multiples. This avoids elements straddling cache lines and DDR memory lines fulfilling requests with single read cycles Intel Data Direct I/O (DDIO) Intel® Xeon® E5, E7, Scalable processors, packet I/O data is placed directly in LLC on ingress and sourced from LLC on egress Cache QoS Allows way-allocation control of LLC between multiple applications, controlled by software CPU Frequency scaling/Turbo Allows the core to temporarily boost CPU frequency higher for single threaded performance NUMA Non-Uniform Memory Architecture – DPDK tries to allocate memory as close to the core where the code is executing. SW Concepts Comments Complete user space implementation Allows quick prototyping and development. Compiler can aggressively optimize to use complete instruction set Software prefetch DPDK also uses SW prefetch instructions to limit the effect of memory latency for software pipelining Core-thread affinity Threads are affinitized to a particular core, dedicated to certain functions. Prevents reloading L1, L2 with instructions/data when threads hop from core to core Use of vector instructions The code implements algorithms using as much of the instruction set as possible – we use vector (SSE, AVX) providing significant speed up Function in-lining DPDK implements a number of performance critical functions in header files for easier compiler in-lining. Algorithmic optimizations To implement functions common in network processing e.g. n-tuple lookups, wildcards, ACLs etc. Hardware offload libraries Hardware offloads can complement the software implementation when the required hardware capability is available. E.g. 5-tuple lookups can be done on most modern NICs, and act in conjunction with a software classifier implementation Bulk functions Most functions support a “bulk” mode – processing ‘n’ packets simultaneously. Allows for software pipelining to overcome memory latency
  15. PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK DISCLOSURES Software and workloads used in performance tests

    may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more complete information visit www.intel.com/benchmarks. Results are based on internal testing and are provided to you for informational purposes. Any differences in your system hardware, software or configuration may affect your actual performance. 1: Linux <2 Mpps / core @ 64 Byte based on Intel® Xeon® E5-2658v2 Processor (DP)/Intel® C600 Series Chipset: Linux* Layer 3 IPv4 Forwarding using 10GbE.

  17. 20 • The purpose of Long-Term Support (LTS) is to

    maintain a stable release of DPDK with back-ported bug fixes over an extended period of time. This will provide downstream consumers with a stable target on which to base applications or packages. • The LTS releases will be maintained for 2 years. • Bug fixes that do not change the ABI will be back-ported. • In general, new features will not be back-ported. There may be occasional exceptions where the following criteria are met: • There is a justifiable use case (for example a new PMD). • The change is non-invasive. • The work of preparing the back-port is done by the proposer. • There is support within the community. • Releases 16.11, 17.11, 18.11, 19.11 are LTS releases Long-Term Support (DPDK ##.11 (LTS) releases
