Hola Sergio,

Actually, that may just have been a bug in DPDK 2.0.0. I realized there is a 
newer DPDK 2.2.0 so I tried it and SIGSEGV error is gone.

So issue closed!

FYI, I just had to workaround a compilation issue in VIRTIO lib (I'm on my 
centos6.6/kernel 2.6.32-504 currently):
        == Build lib/librte_vhost
          CC virtio-net.o
        In file included from 
/home/alaing/INTEL/dpdk-2.2.0/lib/librte_vhost/virtio-net.c:35:
        /usr/include/linux/virtio_net.h:171: error: expected 
specifier-qualifier-list before 'u16'
        make[4]: *** [virtio-net.o] Error 1
        make[3]: *** [librte_vhost] Error 2
        make[2]: *** [lib] Error 2
        make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
        make: *** [all] Error 2
I bypassed VIRTIO and was able to build.

Using 10k x 2MB huge page tables, it seems I can allocate up to 18GB of these 
20GB, which is very hopeful for what I intend to do.

[resend with enclosed log instead of attachment]

Hello Sergio,

I'm running the following command

        $ ./build/helloworld -c fff -n 1

And get the attached log (hope it goes through). Using "-n 2" (I'm not sure how 
many channels) gives the same SIGSEGV error.

Here's the configuration:

$ numactl -H

Can you also provide the full initialization log and hugepage info?
