Detailed Description

A class that represents a device.

Should be instantiated using the factory method Create(). Use separate instances for each thread.

Example:

std::string pcie_addr = "0000:01:00.0";

auto device = Device::Create(pcie_addr);

enso::Device::Create

static std::unique_ptr< Device > Create(const std::string &pcie_addr="", const std::string &huge_page_prefix="") noexcept

Factory method to create a device.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AllocateRxPipe()

RxPipe * enso::Device::AllocateRxPipe ( bool fallback = false )

noexcept

Allocates an RX pipe.

Parameters

fallback Whether this pipe is a fallback pipe. Fallback pipes can receive data from any flow but are also guaranteed to receive data from all flows that they Bind() to.

Note: The hardware can only use a number of fallback pipes that is a power of two. If the number of fallback pipes is not a power of two, only the first power of two pipes allocated will be used.

Warning: Fallback pipes should be used by only one application at a time. If multiple applications use fallback pipes at once, the behavior is undefined.

Returns: A pointer to the pipe. May be null if the pipe cannot be created.

Definition at line 183 of file pipe.cpp.

◆ AllocateRxTxPipe()

RxTxPipe * enso::Device::AllocateRxTxPipe ( bool fallback = false )

noexcept

Allocates an RX/TX pipe.

Parameters

fallback Whether this pipe is a fallback pipe. Fallback pipes can receive data from any flow but are also guaranteed to receive data from all flows that they Bind() to.

Note: The hardware can only use a number of fallback pipes that is a power of two. If the number of fallback pipes is not a power of two, only the first power of two pipes allocated will be used.

Warning: Fallback pipes should be used by only one application at a time. If multiple applications use fallback pipes at once, the behavior is undefined.

Returns: A pointer to the pipe. May be null if the pipe cannot be created.

◆ AllocateTxPipe()

TxPipe * enso::Device::AllocateTxPipe ( uint8_t * buf = nullptr )

noexcept

Allocates a TX pipe.

Parameters

buf	Buffer address to use for the pipe. It must be a pinned hugepage. If not specified, the buffer is allocated internally.

Returns: A pointer to the pipe. May be null if the pipe cannot be created.

int enso::Device::ApplyConfig ( struct TxNotification * config_notification )

Parameters

config_notification The config notification.

◆ Create()

std::unique_ptr< Device > enso::Device::Create	(	const std::string &	pcie_addr = `""`,
		const std::string &	huge_page_prefix = `""`
	)

staticnoexcept

Factory method to create a device.

Parameters

pcie_addr	The PCIe address of the device. If empty, uses the first device found.
huge_page_prefix	The prefix to use for huge pages file. If empty, uses the default prefix.

Returns: A unique pointer to the device. May be null if the device cannot be created.

◆ DisableRateLimiting()

◆ DisableTimeStamping()

int enso::Device::DisableTimeStamping ( )

◆ EnableRateLimiting()

int enso::Device::EnableRateLimiting	(	uint16_t	num,
		uint16_t	den
	)

Enables hardware rate limiting.

Once rate limiting is enabled, packets from all queues are sent at a rate of num / den * kMaxHardwareFlitRate flits per second (a flit is 64 bytes). Note that this is slightly different from how we typically define throughput and you will need to take the packet sizes into account to set this properly.

For example, suppose that you are sending 64-byte packets. Each packet occupies exactly one flit. For this packet size, line rate at 100Gbps is 148.8Mpps. So if kMaxHardwareFlitRate is 200MHz, line rate actually corresponds to a 744/1000 rate. Therefore, if you want to send at 50Gbps (50% of line rate), you can use a 372/1000 (or 93/250) rate.

The other thing to notice is that, while it might be tempting to use a large denominator in order to increase the rate precision. This has the side effect of increasing burstiness. The way the rate limit is implemented, we send a burst of num consecutive flits every den cycles. Which means that if num is too large, it might overflow the receiver buffer. For instance, in the example above, 93/250 would be a better rate than 372/1000. And 3/8 would be even better with a slight loss in precision.

You can find the maximum packet rate for any packet size by using the expression: line_rate / ((pkt_size + 20) * 8). So for 100Gbps and 128-byte packets we have: 100e9 / ((128 + 20) * 8) packets per second. Given that each packet is two flits, for kMaxHardwareFlitRate = 200e6, the maximum rate is 100e9 / ((128 + 20) * 8) * 2 / 200e6, which is approximately 125/148. Therefore, if you want to send packets at 20Gbps (20% of line rate), you should use a 25/148 rate.

Note: This setting applies to all pipes that share the same hardware device.

Parameters

num	Rate numerator.
den	Rate denominator.

Returns: 0 if configuration was successful.

◆ EnableRoundRobin()

int enso::Device::EnableRoundRobin ( )

Enables round robing of packets among the fallback pipes.

Note: This setting applies to all pipes that share the same hardware device.

See also: DisableRoundRobin

Returns: 0 if configuration was successful.

Definition at line 416 of file pipe.cpp.

◆ EnableTimeStamping()

int enso::Device::EnableTimeStamping ( )

Enables hardware time stamping.

All outgoing packets will receive a timestamp and all incoming packets will have an RTT (in number of cycles). Use get_pkt_rtt to retrieve the value.

Note: This setting applies to all pipes that share the same hardware device.

◆ GetNbFallbackQueues()

int enso::Device::GetNbFallbackQueues ( )

noexcept

Retrieves the number of fallback queues for this device.

◆ GetRoundRobinStatus()

int enso::Device::GetRoundRobinStatus ( )

noexcept

Gets the round robin status for the device.

Returns: 0 if round robin is disabled, 1 if round robin is enabled, -1 on failure.

◆ NextRxPipeToRecv()

RxPipe * enso::Device::NextRxPipeToRecv ( )

Gets the next RxPipe that has data pending.

Warning: This function can only be used when there are only RX pipes. Trying to use this function when there are RX/TX pipes will result in undefined behavior.

Returns: A pointer to the pipe. May be nullptr if no pipe has data pending.

◆ NextRxTxPipeToRecv()

RxTxPipe * enso::Device::NextRxTxPipeToRecv ( )
