Hello all.
I would like to know what kinds of performance changes I might expect to
see if I switched from the generic NIC driver to a device specific
driver (e1000e in my case). With the generic NIC driver I am currently
seeing ecrt_master_receive calls averaging about 10us and
ecrt_master_send times that are a few micro seconds longer. I don't need
exact numbers just a rough idea. Would using the custom e1000e driver
reduce times by an order of magnitude, 50%, 5%?
I would also like to know how sensitive the times are to PDO size? I've
tried registering fewer PDOs (i.e. ecrt_domain_reg_pdo_entry_list) and
the difference in transmit/receive times seems to be nearly unaffected.
In addition I tried reducing the number of devices attached to my
EK-1100 coupler and that also had little to no change in run times. Are
those results as expected?
Thanks

To be or not to be, that is the question
2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
0b11000100 || !0b11000100
0b11000100 || 0b00111011
0b11111111
255, that is the answer.
