dpdk-test-bbdev Application
===========================
The ``dpdk-test-bbdev`` tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) utility that
allows measuring performance parameters of PMDs available in the bbdev framework.
Available tests available for execution are: latency, throughput, validation and
sanity tests. Execution of tests can be customized using various parameters
passed to a python running script.
Compiling the Application
-------------------------
**Step 1: PMD setting**
The ``dpdk-test-bbdev`` tool depends on crypto device drivers PMD which
are disabled by default in the build configuration file ``common_base``.
The bbdevice drivers PMD which should be tested can be enabled by setting
``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_<name>=y``
Setting example for (*baseband_turbo_sw*) PMD
``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_BBDEV_TURBO_SW=y``
**Step 2: Build the application**
Execute the ``dpdk-setup.sh`` script to build the DPDK library together with the
``dpdk-test-bbdev`` application.
Initially, the user must select a DPDK target to choose the correct target type
and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
The user must have all libraries, modules, updates and compilers installed
in the system prior to this, as described in the earlier chapters in this
Getting Started Guide.
Running the Application
-----------------------
The tool application has a number of command line options:
.. code-block:: console
python test-bbdev.py [-h] [-p TESTAPP_PATH] [-e EAL_PARAMS] [-t TIMEOUT]
[-c TEST_CASE [TEST_CASE ...]]
[-v TEST_VECTOR [TEST_VECTOR...]] [-n NUM_OPS]
[-b BURST_SIZE [BURST_SIZE ...]] [-l NUM_LCORES]
command-line Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following are the command-line options:
``-h, --help``
Shows help message and exit.
``-p TESTAPP_PATH, --testapp_path TESTAPP_PATH``
Indicates the path to the bbdev test app. If not specified path is set based
on *$RTE_SDK* environment variable concatenated with "*/build/app/testbbdev*".
``-e EAL_PARAMS, --eal_params EAL_PARAMS``
Specifies EAL arguments which are passed to the test app. For more details,
refer to DPDK documentation at
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/linux_eal_parameters.html.
``-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT``
Specifies timeout in seconds. If not specified timeout is set to 300 seconds.
``-c TEST_CASE [TEST_CASE ...], --test_cases TEST_CASE [TEST_CASE ...]``
Defines test cases to run. If not specified all available tests are run.
**Example usage:**
``./test-bbdev.py -c validation``
Runs validation test suite
``./test-bbdev.py -c latency throughput``
Runs latency and throughput test suites
``-v TEST_VECTOR [TEST_VECTOR ...], --test_vector TEST_VECTOR [TEST_VECTOR ...]``
Specifies paths to the test vector files. If not specified path is set based
on *$RTE_SDK* environment variable concatenated with
"*/app/test-bbdev/test_vectors/bbdev_null.data*" and indicates default
data file.
**Example usage:**
``./test-bbdev.py -v app/test-bbdev/test_vectors/turbo_dec_test1.data``
Fills vector based on turbo_dec_test1.data file and runs all tests
``./test-bbdev.py -v turbo_dec_test1.data turbo_enc_test2.data``
The bbdev test app is executed twice. First time vector is filled based on
*turbo_dec_test1.data* file and second time based on
*turb_enc_test2.data* file. For both executions all tests are run.
``-n NUM_OPS, --num_ops NUM_OPS``
Specifies number of operations to process on device. If not specified num_ops
is set to 32 operations.
``-l NUM_LCORES, --num_lcores NUM_LCORES``
Specifies number of lcores to run. If not specified num_lcores is set
according to value from RTE configuration (EAL coremask)
``-b BURST_SIZE [BURST_SIZE ...], --burst-size BURST_SIZE [BURST_SIZE ...]``
Specifies operations enqueue/dequeue burst size. If not specified burst_size is
set to 32. Maximum is 512.
Test Cases
~~~~~~~~~~
There are 6 main test cases that can be executed using testbbdev tool:
* Sanity checks [-c unittest]
- Performs sanity checks on BBDEV interface, validating basic functionality
* Validation tests [-c validation]
- Performs full operation of enqueue and dequeue
- Compares the dequeued data buffer with a expected values in the test
vector (TV) being used
- Fails if any dequeued value does not match the data in the TV
* Offload Cost measurement [-c offload]
- Measures the CPU cycles consumed from the receipt of a user enqueue
until it is put on the device queue
- The test measures 4 metrics
(a) *SW Enq Offload Cost*: Software only enqueue offload cost, the cycle
counts and time (us) from the point the enqueue API is called until
the point the operation is put on the accelerator queue.
(b) *Acc Enq Offload Cost*: The cycle count and time (us) from the
point the operation is put on the accelerator queue until the return
from enqueue.
(c) *SW Deq Offload Cost*: Software dequeue cost, the cycle counts and
time (us) consumed to dequeue one operation.
(d) *Empty Queue Enq Offload Cost*: The cycle count and time (us)
consumed to dequeue from an empty queue.
* Latency measurement [-c latency]
- Measures the time consumed from the first enqueue until the first
appearance of a dequeued result
- This measurment represents the full latency of a bbdev operation
(encode or decode) to execute
* Poll-mode Throughput measurement [-c throughput]
- Performs full operation of enqueue and dequeue
- Executes in poll mode
- Measures the achieved throughput on a subset or all available CPU cores
- Dequeued data is not validated against expected values stored in TV
- Results are printed in million operations per second and million bits
per second
* Interrupt-mode Throughput [-c interrupt]
- Similar to Throughput test case, but using interrupts. No polling.
Parameter Globbing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to the globbing functionality in python test-bbdev.py script allows to
run tests with different set of vector files without giving all of them explicitly.
**Example usage:**
.. code-block:: console
./test-bbdev.py -v app/test-bbdev/test_vectors/turbo_<enc/dec>_c<c>_k<k>_r<r>_e<e>_<extra-info>.data
It runs all tests with following vectors:
- ``bbdev_null.data``

All bbdev devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: console
./test-bbdev.py -p ../../x86_64-native-linuxapp-icc/app/testbbdev
-v turbo_dec_default.data
It runs all available tests using the test vector filled based on
*turbo_dec_default.data* file.
By default number of operations to process on device is set to 32, timeout is
set to 300s and operations enqueue/dequeue burst size is set to 32.
Moreover a bbdev (*baseband_null*) device will be created.
baseband turbo_sw device
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: console
./test-bbdev.py -p ../../x86_64-native-linuxapp-icc/app/testbbdev
-e="--vdev=baseband_turbo_sw" -t 120 -c validation
-v ./test_vectors/turbo_* -n 64 -b 8 32
It runs **validation** test for each vector file that matches the given pattern.
Number of operations to process on device is set to 64 and operations timeout is
set to 120s and enqueue/dequeue burst size is set to 8 and to 32.
Moreover a bbdev (*baseband_turbo_sw*) device will be created.
bbdev null device
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Executing bbdev null device with *bbdev_null.data* helps in measuring the
overhead introduced by the bbdev framework.
.. code-block:: console
./test-bbdev.py -e="--vdev=baseband_null0"
-v ./test_vectors/bbdev_null.data
**Note:**
baseband_null device does not have to be defined explicitly as it is created by default.
Test Vector files
=================
Test Vector files contain the data which is used to set turbo decoder/encoder
parameters and buffers for validation purpose. New test vector files should be
stored in ``app/test-bbdev/test_vectors/`` directory. Detailed description of
the syntax of the test vector files is in the following section.
Basic principles for test vector files
--------------------------------------
Line started with ``#`` is treated as a comment and is ignored.
If variable is a chain of values, values should be separated by a comma. If
assignment is split into several lines, each line (except the last one) has to
be ended with a comma.
There is no comma after last value in last line. Correct assignment should
look like the following:
.. parsed-literal::
variable =
value, value, value, value,
value, value
In case where variable is a single value correct assignment looks like the
following:
.. parsed-literal::
variable =
value
Length of chain variable is calculated by parser. Can not be defined
explicitly.
Variable op_type has to be defined as a first variable in file. It specifies
what type of operations will be executed. For decoder op_type has to be set to
``RTE_BBDEV_OP_TURBO_DEC`` and for encoder to ``RTE_BBDEV_OP_TURBO_ENC``.
Full details of the meaning and valid values for the below fields are
documented in *rte_bbdev_op.h*
Turbo decoder test vectors template

For turbo decoder it has to be always set to ``RTE_BBDEV_OP_TURBO_DEC``
.. parsed-literal::
op_type =
RTE_BBDEV_OP_TURBO_DEC
