+
+Service Cores Sample Application
+================================
+
+The service cores sample application demonstrates the service cores capabilities
+of DPDK. The service cores infrastructure is part of the DPDK EAL, and allows
+any DPDK component to register a service. A service is a work item or task, that
+requires CPU time to perform its duty.
+
+This sample application registers 5 dummy services. These 5 services are used
+to show how the service_cores API can be used to orchestrate these services to
+run on different service lcores. This orchestration is done by calling the
+service cores APIs, however the sample application introduces a "profile"
+concept to contain the service mapping details. Note that the profile concept
+is application specific, and not a part of the service cores API.
+
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+#. Go to the example directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
+ cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/service_cores
+
+#. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
+
+ See the *DPDK Getting Started* Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
+
+#. Build the application:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ make
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+To run the example, just execute the binary. Since the application dynamically
+adds service cores in the application code itself, there is no requirement to
+pass a service core-mask as an EAL argument at startup time.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ./build/service_cores
+
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide some explanation of code focusing on
+registering applications from an applications point of view, and modifying the
+service core counts and mappings at runtime.
+
+
+Registering a Service
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following code section shows how to register a service as an application.
+Note that the service component header must be included by the application in
+order to register services: ``rte_service_component.h``, in addition
+to the ordinary service cores header ``rte_service.h`` which provides
+the runtime functions to add, remove and remap service cores.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct rte_service_spec service = {
+ .name = "service_name",
+ };
+ int ret = rte_service_component_register(services, &id);
+ if (ret)
+ return -1;
+
+ /* set the service itself to be ready to run. In the case of
+ * ethdev, eventdev etc PMDs, this will be set when the
+ * appropriate configure or setup function is called.
+ */
+ rte_service_component_runstate_set(id, 1);
+
+ /* Collect statistics for the service */
+ rte_service_set_stats_enable(id, 1);
+
+ /* The application sets the service to running state. Note that this
+ * function enables the service to run - while the 'component' version
+ * of this function (as above) marks the service itself as ready */
+ ret = rte_service_runstate_set(id, 1);
+
+
+Controlling A Service Core
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section demonstrates how to add a service core. The ``rte_service.h``
+header file provides the functions for dynamically adding and removing cores.
+The APIs to add and remove cores use lcore IDs similar to existing DPDK
+functions.
+
+These are the functions to start a service core, and have it run a service:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* the lcore ID to use as a service core */
+ uint32_t service_core_id = 7;
+ ret = rte_service_lcore_add(service_core_id);
+ if(ret)
+ return -1;
+
+ /* service cores are in "stopped" state when added, so start it */
+ ret = rte_service_lcore_start(service_core_id);
+ if(ret)
+ return -1;
+
+ /* map a service to the service core, causing it to run the service */
+ uint32_t service_id; /* ID of a registered service */
+ uint32_t enable = 1; /* 1 maps the service, 0 unmaps */
+ ret = rte_service_map_lcore_set(service_id, service_core_id, enable);
+ if(ret)
+ return -1;
+
+
+Removing A Service Core
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To remove a service core, the steps are similar to adding but in reverse order.
+Note that it is not allowed to remove a service core if the service is running,
+and the service-core is the only core running that service (see documentation
+for ``rte_service_lcore_stop`` function for details).
+
+
+Conclusion
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The service cores infrastructure provides DPDK with two main features. The first
+is to abstract away hardware differences: the service core can CPU cycles to
+a software fallback implementation, allowing the application to be abstracted
+from the difference in HW / SW availability. The second feature is a flexible
+method of registering functions to be run, allowing the running of the
+functions to be scaled across multiple CPUs.
