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
102.. code-block:: console
103
104   dpdk-test-crypto-perf [EAL Options] -- [Application Options]
105
106EAL Options
107~~~~~~~~~~~
108
109The following are the EAL command-line options that can be used in conjunction
110with the ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` applcation.
111See the DPDK Getting Started Guides for more information on these options.
112
113*   ``-c <COREMASK>`` or ``-l <CORELIST>``
114
115        Set the hexadecimal bitmask of the cores to run on. The corelist is a
116        list cores to use.
117
118*   ``-w <PCI>``
119
120        Add a PCI device in white list.
121
122*   ``--vdev <driver><id>``
123
124        Add a virtual device.
125
126Appication Options
127~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
128
129The following are the appication command-line options:
130
131* ``--ptest type``
132
133        Set test type, where ``type`` is one of the following::
134
135           throughput
136           latency
137           verify
138           pmd-cyclecount
139
140* ``--silent``
141
142        Disable options dump.
143
144* ``--pool-sz <n>``
145
146        Set the number of mbufs to be allocated in the mbuf pool.
147
148* ``--total-ops <n>``
149
150        Set the number of total operations performed.
151
152* ``--burst-sz <n>``
153
154        Set the number of packets per burst.
155
156        This can be set as:
157          * Single value (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16``)
158          * Range of values, using the following structure ``min:inc:max``,
159            where ``min`` is minimum size, ``inc`` is the increment size and ``max``
160            is the maximum size (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16:2:32``)
161          * List of values, up to 32 values, separated in commas (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16,24,32``)
162
163* ``--buffer-sz <n>``
164
165        Set the size of single packet (plaintext or ciphertext in it).
166
167        This can be set as:
168          * Single value (i.e. ``--buffer-sz 16``)
169          * Range of values, using the following structure ``min:inc:max``,
170            where ``min`` is minimum size, ``inc`` is the increment size and ``max``
171            is the maximum size (i.e. ``--buffer-sz 16:2:32``)
172          * List of values, up to 32 values, separated in commas (i.e. ``--buffer-sz 32,64,128``)
173
174* ``--imix <n>``
175
176        Set the distribution of packet sizes.
177
178        A list of weights must be passed, containing the same number of items than buffer-sz,
179        so each item in this list will be the weight of the packet size on the same position
180        in the buffer-sz parameter (a list have to be passed in that parameter).
181
182        Example:
183
184        To test a distribution of 20% packets of 64 bytes, 40% packets of 100 bytes and 40% packets
185        of 256 bytes, the command line would be: ``--buffer-sz 64,100,256 --imix 20,40,40``.
186        Note that the weights do not have to be percentages, so using ``--imix 1,2,2`` would result
187        in the same distribution
188
189* ``--segment-sz <n>``
190
191        Set the size of the segment to use, for Scatter Gather List testing.
192        By default, it is set to the size of the maximum buffer size, including the digest size,
193        so a single segment is created.
194
195* ``--devtype <name>``
196
197        Set device type, where ``name`` is one of the following::
198
199           crypto_null
200           crypto_aesni_mb

220           auth-then-cipher
221           aead
222
223        For GCM/CCM algorithms you should use aead flag.
224
