Hi Nicolas, I do not have experience of running DPDK on AMD CPUs.
I can however suggest this: Please try compiling the kernel modules that you attach to the NICs you are going to use on the same machine. The kernel module is igb_uio.ko. Your issue could be because the kernel module/driver was not compiled for this CPU. If you have compiled your dpdk sdk, then the kernel module should be present here: ./build/build/kernel/linux/igb_uio/igb_uio.ko ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko Then load these kernel modules using: modprobe uio insmod ./build/kmod/igb_uio.ko Now, bind the NICs you are going to use, to this driver using : ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind=igb_uio <pci_address_of_nic> You can get the PCI addresses of the NICs using: ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status-dev net I hope this helps, but if it doesn't, someone with more hands on experience on DPDK + AMD should take a look.

I use the « -march=znver2 » to generate instructions for the AMD Cpu (AMD EPYC 7402P). I need to have a maximum of performance, so, if I could do some instruction in CPU instead in the software. May be I miss something, a flag ? a library ? , if someone could help me ? I don't have many experiance about CPU instructions/optimisations. Any help will be appreciate.

To check the list of flags available of your cpu, you can run: lscpu | grep Flags You will find that in the list of flags, ssse3 is not available on your cpu. You can compile and run your app with the flag removed without functional issues. Only difference will be that a bunch of instructions that could have been done faster in CPU hardware using ssse3, will now be done in software.

If I remove the -mssse3 I don't have the crash. Can you help me to identify the reason of the segmentation fault and tell me if I can easily remove the < -mssse3 > flag ? (Sorry for my english) Regards Nicolas
