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.
54
55On hardware devices the throughput measurement is not necessarily the maximum
56possible for the device, e.g. it may be necessary to use multiple cores to keep
57the hardware accelerator fully loaded and so measure maximum throughput.
58
59Compiling the Application
60-------------------------
61
62**Step 1: PMD setting**
63
64The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool depends on crypto device drivers PMD which
65are disabled by default in the build configuration file ``common_base``.
66The crypto device drivers PMD which should be tested can be enabled by setting::
67
68   CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_<name>=y
69
70Setting example for open ssl PMD::
71
72   CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OPENSSL=y
73
74**Step 2: Linearization setting**
75
76It is possible linearized input segmented packets just before crypto operation
77for devices which doesn't support scatter-gather, and allows to measure
78performance also for this use case.
79
80To set on the linearization options add below definition to the
81``cperf_ops.h`` file::
82
83   #define CPERF_LINEARIZATION_ENABLE
84
85**Step 3: Build the application**
86
87Execute the ``dpdk-setup.sh`` script to build the DPDK library together with the
88``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` applcation.
89
90Initially, the user must select a DPDK target to choose the correct target type
91and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
92The user must have all libraries, modules, updates and compilers installed
93in the system prior to this,
94as described in the earlier chapters in this Getting Started Guide.
95
96Running the Application
97-----------------------
98
99The tool application has a number of command line options:

320
321Header line is just name in square bracket::
322
323   [<section name>]
324
325Data line contain information tocken then sign '=' and
326a string of bytes in C byte array format::

328   <tocken> = <C byte array>
329
330**Tockens list:**
331
332* ``plaintext``
