[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 3/5] examples: add l3fwd-thread in performance-thread sample app

ibetts ian.betts at intel.com
Wed Sep 30 16:29:46 CEST 2015


From: Ian Betts <ian.betts at intel.com>

This commit adds an l3fwd derivative that allows multiple
EAL threads to be run on a single physical core or multiple
lightwieght threads to be run in an EAL thread.

Its purpose is to facilitate characterization of performance
with different threading models.

It depends on a simple cooperative scheduler included in
this patchset.
