The corelist is a + list of cores to use. + +* ``--vdev `` + + Add a virtual eventdev device. + +Application Options +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The following are the application command-line options: + +* ``--verbose`` + + Set verbose level. Default is 1. Value > 1 displays more details. + +* ``--dev `` + + Set the device id of the event device. + +* ``--test `` + + Set test name, where ``name`` is one of the following:: + + order_queue + order_atq + perf_queue + perf_atq + +* ``--socket_id `` + + Set the socket id of the application resources. + +* ``--pool-sz `` + + Set the number of mbufs to be allocated from the mempool. + +* ``--slcore `` + + Set the scheduler lcore id.(Valid when eventdev is not RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_DISTRIBUTED_SCHED capable) + +* ``--plcores `` + + Set the list of cores to be used as producers. + +* ``--wlcores `` + + Set the list of cores to be used as workers. + +* ``--stlist `` + + Set the scheduled type of each stage where ``type_list`` size + determines the number of stages used in the test application. + Each type_list member can be one of the following:: + + P or p : Parallel schedule type + O or o : Ordered schedule type + A or a : Atomic schedule type + + Application expects the ``type_list`` in comma separated form (i.e. ``--stlist o,a,a,a``) + +* ``--nb_flows `` + + Set the number of flows to produce. + +* ``--nb_pkts `` + + Set the number of packets to produce. 0 implies no limit. + +* ``--worker_deq_depth `` + + Set the dequeue depth of the worker. + +* ``--fwd_latency`` + + Perform forward latency measurement. + +* ``--queue_priority`` + + Enable queue priority. +
