SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause Copyright(c) 2016 Intel Corporation. dpdk-test-crypto-perf Application ================================= The ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` tool is a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) utility that allows measuring performance parameters of PMDs available in the crypto tree. There are available two measurement types: throughput and latency. User can use multiply cores to run tests on but only one type of crypto PMD can be measured during single application execution. Cipher parameters, type of device, type of operation and chain mode have to be specified in the command line as application parameters. These parameters are checked using device capabilities structure. Limitations ----------- On hardware devices the cycle-count doesn't always represent the actual offload cost. The cycle-count only represents the offload cost when the hardware accelerator is not fully loaded, when loaded the cpu cycles freed up by the offload are still consumed by the test tool and included in the cycle-count. These cycles are consumed by retries and inefficient API calls enqueuing and dequeuing smaller bursts than specified by the cmdline parameter. This results in a larger cycle-count measurement and should not be interpreted as an offload cost measurement. Using "pmd-cyclecount" mode will give a better idea of actual costs of hardware acceleration. On hardware devices the throughput measurement is not necessarily the maximum possible for the device, e.g. it may be necessary to use multiple cores to keep the hardware accelerator fully loaded and so measure maximum throughput. Linearization setting --------------------- It is possible linearized input segmented packets just before crypto operation for devices which doesn't support scatter-gather, and allows to measure performance also for this use case. To set on the linearization options add below definition to the ``cperf_ops.h`` file:: #define CPERF_LINEARIZATION_ENABLE Running the Application ----------------------- The tool application has a number of command line options: .. code-block:: console dpdk-test-crypto-perf [EAL Options] -- [Application Options] EAL Options ~~~~~~~~~~~ The following are the EAL command-line options that can be used in conjunction with the ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` application. See the DPDK Getting Started Guides for more information on these options. * ``-c `` or ``-l `` Set the hexadecimal bitmask of the cores to run on. The corelist is a list cores to use. * ``-a `` Add a PCI device in allow list. * ``--vdev `` Add a virtual device. Application Options ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following are the application command-line options: * ``--ptest type`` Set test type, where ``type`` is one of the following:: throughput latency verify pmd-cyclecount * ``--silent`` Disable options dump. * ``--pool-sz `` Set the number of mbufs to be allocated in the mbuf pool. * ``--total-ops `` Set the number of total operations performed. * ``--burst-sz `` Set the number of packets per burst. This can be set as: * Single value (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16``) * Range of values, using the following structure ``min:inc:max``, where ``min`` is minimum size, ``inc`` is the increment size and ``max`` is the maximum size (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16:2:32``) * List of values, up to 32 values, separated in commas (i.e. ``--burst-sz 16,24,32``) * ``--buffer-sz `` Set the size of single packet (plaintext or ciphertext in it). This can be set as: * Single value (i.e. ``--buffer-sz 16``) * Range of values, using the following structure ``min:inc:max``, where ``min`` is minimum size, ``inc`` is the increment size and ``max`` is the maximum size (i.e. ``--buffer-sz 16:2:32``) * List of values, up to 32 values, separated in commas (i.e. ``--buffer-sz 32,64,128``) * ``--imix `` Set the distribution of packet sizes. A list of weights must be passed, containing the same number of items than buffer-sz, so each item in this list will be the weight of the packet size on the same position in the buffer-sz parameter (a list have to be passed in that parameter). Example: To test a distribution of 20% packets of 64 bytes, 40% packets of 100 bytes and 40% packets of 256 bytes, the command line would be: ``--buffer-sz 64,100,256 --imix 20,40,40``. Note that the weights do not have to be percentages, so using ``--imix 1,2,2`` would result in the same distribution * ``--segment-sz `` Set the size of the segment to use, for Scatter Gather List testing. By default, it is set to the size of the maximum buffer size, including the digest size, so a single segment is created. * ``--devtype `` Set device type, where ``name`` is one of the following:: crypto_aesni_gcm crypto_aesni_mb crypto_armv8 crypto_cn9k crypto_cn10k crypto_dpaa_sec crypto_dpaa2_sec crypto_kasumi crypto_mvsam crypto_null crypto_octeontx crypto_openssl crypto_qat crypto_scheduler crypto_snow3g crypto_zuc * ``--optype `` Set operation type, where ``name`` is one of the following:: cipher-only auth-only cipher-then-auth auth-then-cipher aead pdcp docsis modex For GCM/CCM algorithms you should use aead flag. * ``--sessionless`` Enable session-less crypto operations mode. * ``--out-of-place`` Enable out-of-place crypto operations mode. * ``--test-file `` Set test vector file path. See the Test Vector File chapter. * ``--test-name `` Set specific test name section in the test vector file. * ``--cipher-algo `` Set cipher algorithm name, where ``name`` is one of the following:: 3des-cbc 3des-ecb 3des-ctr aes-cbc aes-ctr aes-ecb aes-f8 aes-xts arc4 null kasumi-f8 snow3g-uea2 zuc-eea3 * ``--cipher-op `` Set cipher operation mode, where ``mode`` is one of the following:: encrypt decrypt * ``--cipher-key-sz `` Set the size of cipher key. * ``--cipher-iv-sz `` Set the size of cipher iv. * ``--auth-algo `` Set authentication algorithm name, where ``name`` is one of the following:: 3des-cbc aes-cbc-mac aes-cmac aes-gmac aes-xcbc-mac md5 md5-hmac sha1 sha1-hmac sha2-224 sha2-224-hmac sha2-256 sha2-256-hmac sha2-384 sha2-384-hmac sha2-512 sha2-512-hmac kasumi-f9 snow3g-uia2 zuc-eia3 * ``--auth-op `` Set authentication operation mode, where ``mode`` is one of the following:: verify generate * ``--auth-key-sz `` Set the size of authentication key. * ``--auth-iv-sz `` Set the size of auth iv. * ``--aead-algo `` Set AEAD algorithm name, where ``name`` is one of the following:: aes-ccm aes-gcm * ``--aead-op `` Set AEAD operation mode, where ``mode`` is one of the following:: encrypt decrypt * ``--aead-key-sz `` Set the size of AEAD key. * ``--aead-iv-sz `` Set the size of AEAD iv. * ``--aead-aad-sz `` Set the size of AEAD aad. * ``--digest-sz `` Set the size of digest. * ``--desc-nb `` Set number of descriptors for each crypto device. * ``--pmd-cyclecount-delay-ms `` Add a delay (in milliseconds) between enqueue and dequeue in pmd-cyclecount benchmarking mode (useful when benchmarking hardware acceleration). * ``--csv-friendly`` Enable test result output CSV friendly rather than human friendly. * ``--pdcp-sn-sz `` Set PDCP sequence number size(n) in bits. Valid values of n will be 5/7/12/15/18. * ``--pdcp-domain `` Set PDCP domain to specify short_mac/control/user plane. * ``--docsis-hdr-sz `` Set DOCSIS header size(n) in bytes. * ``--pdcp-ses-hfn-en`` Enable fixed session based HFN instead of per packet HFN. * ``--enable-sdap`` Enable Service Data Adaptation Protocol. * ``--modex-len `` Set modex length for asymmetric crypto perf test. Supported lengths are 60, 128, 255, 448. Default length is 128. Test Vector File ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The test vector file is a text file contain information about test vectors. The file is made of the sections. The first section doesn't have header. It contain global information used in each test variant vectors - typically information about plaintext, ciphertext, cipher key, auth key, initial vector. All other sections begin header. The sections contain particular information typically digest. **Format of the file:** Each line beginning with sign '#' contain comment and it is ignored by parser:: # Header line is just name in square bracket:: [
] Data line contain information token then sign '=' and a string of bytes in C byte array format:: = **Tokens list:** * ``plaintext`` Original plaintext to be encrypted. * ``ciphertext`` Encrypted plaintext string. * ``cipher_key`` Key used in cipher operation. * ``auth_key`` Key used in auth operation. * ``cipher_iv`` Cipher Initial Vector. * ``auth_iv`` Auth Initial Vector. * ``aad`` Additional data. * ``digest`` Digest string.

It can be found in the ``app/test-crypto-perf/`` directory. The output graphs include various grouped barcharts for throughput tests, and histogram and boxplot graphs for latency tests. These are output to PDF files, with one PDF per test suite graph type. Dependencies ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following python modules must be installed to run the script: .. code-block:: console pip3 install img2pdf plotly pandas psutil kaleido Test Configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The test cases run by the script are defined by a JSON config file. Some config files can be found in ``app/test-crypto-perf/configs/``, or the user may create a new one following the same format as the config files provided. An example of this format is shown below for one test suite in the ``crypto-perf-aesni-mb.json`` file. This shows the required default config for the test suite, and one test case. The test case has additional app config that will be combined with the default config when running the test case. .. code-block:: c "throughput": { "default": { "eal": { "l": "1,2", "vdev": "crypto_aesni_mb" }, "app": { "csv-friendly": true, "buffer-sz": "64,128,256,512,768,1024,1408,2048", "burst-sz": "1,4,8,16,32", "ptest": "throughput", "devtype": "crypto_aesni_mb" } }, "AES-CBC-128 SHA1-HMAC auth-then-cipher decrypt": { "cipher-algo": "aes-cbc", "cipher-key-sz": "16", "auth-algo": "sha1-hmac", "optype": "auth-then-cipher", "cipher-op": "decrypt" } } .. note:: The specific test cases only allow modification of app parameters, and not EAL parameters. The default case is required for each test suite in the config file, to specify EAL parameters. Currently, crypto_qat, crypto_aesni_mb, and crypto_aesni_gcm devices for both throughput and latency ptests are supported. Usage ~~~~~ .. code-block:: console ./dpdk-graph-crypto-perf The ``config_file`` positional argument is required to run the script. This points to a valid JSON config file containing test suites. .. code-block:: console ./dpdk-graph-crypto-perf configs/crypto-perf-aesni-mb.json The following are the application optional command-line options: * ``-h, --help`` Display usage information and quit. * ``-f , --file-path `` Provide path to ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` application. The script uses the installed app by default. .. code-block:: console ./dpdk-graph-crypto-perf \ -f /app/dpdk-test-crypto-perf * ``-t , --test-suites `` Specify test suites to run. All test suites are run by default. To run crypto-perf-qat latency test suite only: .. code-block:: console ./dpdk-graph-crypto-perf configs/crypto-perf-qat -t latency To run both crypto-perf-aesni-mb throughput and latency test suites .. code-block:: console ./dpdk-graph-crypto-perf configs/crypto-perf-aesni-mb -t throughput latency * ``-o , --output-path `` Specify directory to use for output files. The default is to use the script's directory. .. code-block:: console ./dpdk-graph-crypto-perf -o * ``-v, --verbose`` Enable verbose output. This displays ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf`` app output in real-time. .. code-block:: console ./dpdk-graph-crypto-perf -v .. warning:: Latency performance tests have a large amount of output. It is not recommended to use the verbose option for latency tests.
