This patch set optimizes DPDK memcpy for AVX512 platforms, to make full utilization of hardware resources and deliver high performance.
In current DPDK, memcpy holds a large proportion of execution time in libs like Vhost, especially for large packets, and this patch can bring considerable benefits. The implementation is based on the current DPDK memcpy framework, some background introduction can be found in these threads: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-November/008158.html http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-January/011800.html Code changes are: 1. Read CPUID to check if AVX512 is supported by CPU 2. Predefine AVX512 macro if AVX512 is enabled by compiler 3. Implement AVX512 memcpy and choose the right implementation based on predefined macros 4. Decide alignment unit for memcpy perf test based on predefined macros Zhihong Wang (4): lib/librte_eal: Identify AVX512 CPU flag mk: Predefine AVX512 macro for compiler lib/librte_eal: Optimize memcpy for AVX512 platforms app/test: Adjust alignment unit for memcpy perf test app/test/test_memcpy_perf.c | 6 + .../common/include/arch/x86/rte_cpuflags.h | 2 + .../common/include/arch/x86/rte_memcpy.h | 247 ++++++++++++++++++++- mk/rte.cpuflags.mk | 4 + 4 files changed, 255 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 2.5.0
