[dpdk-users] Minimum number of processor cores needed to run OVS+DPDK in a kvm - HOST OS + VM environment

[Kapil Adhikesavalu]

Hello,

What will be minimum number of processor cores needed to run OVS+DPDK in a
kvm - HOST OS + VM environment?

core 1: Host OS
core 2: VM
core 3: PMD - for NIC dpdk + vhost ports - default it picks 1 core i
believe.
core 4: DPDK lcore - dpdk-lcore-mask

i have only a 4 core CPU, so i am just looking if i can run 2 VM's instead
of 1 as in above.

Thanks
Kapil.
