7. Coremask Tests

7.1. Prerequisites

This test will run in any machine able to run test. No traffic will be sent. No extra needs for ports.

7.2. Test Case

7.2.1. Test Case 1: individual coremask

  1. Launch test once per core, set the core mask for the core:

    ./x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc/app/test/dpdk-test -c <One core mask> -n 4

  2. Verify: every time the application is launched the core is properly detected and used.

  3. Stop test.

7.2.2. Test Case 2: big coremask

  1. Launch test with a mask bigger than the available cores:

    ./x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcte't'sc/app/test/dpdk-test -c <128 bits mask> -n 4

  2. Verify: the application handles the mask properly and all the available cores are detected and used.

  3. Stop test.

7.2.3. Test Case 3: all cores coremask

  1. Launch test with all the available cores:

    ./x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc/app/test/dpdk-test -c <All cores mask> -n 4

  2. Verify: all the cores have been detected and used by the application.

  3. Stop test.

7.2.4. Test Case 4: wrong coremask

  1. Launch test with several wrong masks:

    ./x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc/app/test/dpdk-test -c <Wrong mask> -n 4

  2. Verify: the application complains about the mask and does not start.

  3. Stop test.
