AMD General Please find the AMD platform validation report for DPDK v26.11-rc2.
* Summary: DPDK v26.11-rc2 AMD platform validation is complete. Performance was compared against DPDK v26.07 across 6 workloads on 5 AMD EPYC platforms using Mellanox ConnectX-7 2x200G NICs. A total of 4,789 data points were evaluated. Of these, 4,788 points, or 99.98%, are within the acceptance criteria. One data point is marginally outside the acceptance criteria at -5.04%. All 6 workloads, TestPMD, L3FWD, Crypto, Compression, LPM Perf, and MemCpy, passed. * Issues: None * System Tested: Plain Text Platform Processor Points Turin Dense EPYC 9745, 128C, 2P 923 Turin Classic EPYC 9755, 128C, 1P 923 Genoa EPYC 9654, 96C, 1P 1001 Siena EPYC 8534P, 64C, 1P 1001 Sorano EPYC 8435, 84C, 1P 941 * OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS * Compiler: GCC 14.2 * NIC: Mellanox ConnectX-7 2x200G * Boost: OFF, except for Siena L3FWD and TestPMD, where Turbo was ON * Build & Compile: Build completed successfully on all 5 AMD EPYC platforms. * Function Test Cases: Following workloads were validated: * TestPMD * L3FWD * Crypto * Compression * LPM Perf * MemCpy * Performance Test: * TestPMD: PASS * L3FWD: PASS * Crypto: PASS * Compression: PASS * LPM Perf: PASS * MemCpy: PASS The deviations highlighted during the DPDK v26.11-rc1 validation were rechecked. The previously observed deviation patterns in Compression on Genoa/Siena, Crypto on Turin Dense/Classic, and L3FWD on Siena/Sorano were not observed in the rc2 results.
