[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-users] how to Read(Write) from(to) via lcores in dpdk regardless of NIC

2016-03-22 Thread Mahdi Moradmand Badie
Dear Andriy,
I did my task with the help of rte_ring, but now I wanna replace rte_ring
with real share cache(L3),
May I ask you if there is any possibility in DPDK in order to do it.
Thanks in advance,

I wanna create for example 3 different packets in core_0 as master and
store them one by one in share memory(rte_ring),
then the core_1 as slave read them and do function on them (ex. P1+P2+P3)
and again store in share memory, finally the core_0 read the packets from
share memory and compare them with whatever expected :)
As I said and you mentioned is the same? :)

 Dear All,
 I am Mahdi and I am new in DPDK,
 I wanna generate for example 3 different packets in core0 as master
 write
 it to share memory (L3), then core1 as slave read this packets, change
 them
 with for example function1 and write again in share memory (L3) and
 finally
 check the result with whatever I expect.
 The most important thing is that I don't wanna use NIC and I don't know
 for
 working with cores how I can write/read to/from them, I mean with which
 template and sequence???
 Thanks in advance,

[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-users] how to Read(Write) from(to) via lcores in dpdk regardless of NIC

2016-03-08 Thread Mahdi Moradmand Badie
Dear Hamed,

First of all thank you so much for your kindly reply,

It's the primary part of the big project, in order to be more familiar with
DPDK,
I have to implement the mentioned framework by use of DPDK,
And finally we wanna implement the cache locking approach (via help of
features like Cache Allocation Technology(CAT), Cache Monitoring Technology
(CMT)) in Xeon processor (my supervisor told me this simple exercise
will be helpful to do the final part) in such a way we could dedicate a
specific part of shared memory (L3) to each core which the other don't
access to it.
Obviously using of DPDK with Xeon which both are from "Intel", is
considered as strength point.

I hope this was more clear :)
