31dpdk-test-crypto-perf Application
32=================================
33
34The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
35utility that allows measuring performance parameters of PMDs available in the
36crypto tree. There are available two measurement types: throughput and latency.
37User can use multiply cores to run tests on but only
38one type of crypto PMD can be measured during single application
39execution. Cipher parameters, type of device, type of operation and
40chain mode have to be specified in the command line as application
41parameters. These parameters are checked using device capabilities
42structure.
43
44Limitations
45-----------
46On hardware devices the cycle-count doesn't always represent the actual offload
47cost. The cycle-count only represents the offload cost when the hardware
48accelerator is not fully loaded, when loaded the cpu cycles freed up by the
49offload are still consumed by the test tool and included in the cycle-count.
50These cycles are consumed by retries and inefficient API calls enqueuing and
51dequeuing smaller bursts than specified by the cmdline parameter. This results
52in a larger cycle-count measurement and should not be interpreted as an offload
53cost measurement. Using "pmd-cyclecount" mode will give a better idea of
54actual costs of hardware acceleration.
55
56On hardware devices the throughput measurement is not necessarily the maximum
57possible for the device, e.g. it may be necessary to use multiple cores to keep
58the hardware accelerator fully loaded and so measure maximum throughput.
59
60Compiling the Application
61-------------------------
62
63**Step 1: PMD setting**
64
65The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool depends on crypto device drivers PMD which
66are disabled by default in the build configuration file ``common_base``.
67The crypto device drivers PMD which should be tested can be enabled by setting::
68
69   CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_<name>=y
70
71Setting example for open ssl PMD::
72
73   CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OPENSSL=y
74
75**Step 2: Linearization setting**
76
77It is possible linearized input segmented packets just before crypto operation
78for devices which doesn't support scatter-gather, and allows to measure
79performance also for this use case.
80
81To set on the linearization options add below definition to the
82``cperf_ops.h`` file::
83
84   #define CPERF_LINEARIZATION_ENABLE
85
86**Step 3: Build the application**
87
88Execute the ``dpdk-setup.sh`` script to build the DPDK library together with the
89``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` applcation.
90
91Initially, the user must select a DPDK target to choose the correct target type
92and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
93The user must have all libraries, modules, updates and compilers installed
94in the system prior to this,
95as described in the earlier chapters in this Getting Started Guide.
96
97Running the Application
98-----------------------
99
100The tool application has a number of command line options:
101

349It contain global information used in each test variant vectors -
350typically information about plaintext, ciphertext, cipher key, aut key,
351initial vector. All other sections begin header.
352The sections contain particular information typically digest.
353

355
356Each line beginig with sign '#' contain comment and it is ignored by parser::
357
358   # <comment>
359
360Header line is just name in square bracket::
361
362   [<section name>]
363
364Data line contain information tocken then sign '=' and
365a string of bytes in C byte array format::
366
367   <tocken> = <C byte array>
368
369**Tockens list:**
370
371* ``plaintext``
372
373        Original plaintext to be crypted.
