Your application may be attaching to the same port for each core. Normally this means the each core could be allocating memory and the 4th core just goes over the amount of memory you have reserved. > > EAL: Cannot mmap device resource file > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/resource0 to address: 0x7fff65bfc000 > EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1 > Cause: Requested device 0000:02:00.0 cannot be used > > Regards, > Kai > > On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 11:21 AM, Kai Zhang <[email protected]> wrote: > > Command line: > primary: sudo ./primary -l 0,1,2,3 -n 4 --proc-type=primary > secondary: sudo ./secondary -l 4,5,6,7,8 -n 4 --proc-type=secondary > > The configurations are as follows: > A) 1 x Intel E5-2650 v4, 12 cores [UMA], XL710 40GbE, bind 02:00.0, > 2048 x 4k huge page > 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller XL710 for > 40GbE QSFP+ (rev 02) [<<- Only bind this one] > 02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller XL710 for > 40GbE QSFP+ (rev 02) > 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network > Connection (rev 03) > 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network > Connection (rev 03) > Socket 0 > -------- > Core 0 [0, 12] > Core 1 [1, 13] > Core 2 [2, 14] > Core 3 [3, 15] > Core 4 [4, 16] > Core 5 [5, 17] > Core 8 [6, 18] > Core 9 [7, 19] > Core 10 [8, 20] > Core 11 [9, 21] > Core 12 [10, 22] > Core 13 [11, 23] > > B) 2 x Intel E5-2640 v4, 10 cores [NUMA], No Port Bind, 2048 x 4k > huge page > 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network > Connection (rev 03) > 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network > Connection (rev 03) > Socket 0 Socket 1 > -------- -------- > Core 0 [0, 20] [10, 30] > Core 1 [1, 21] [11, 31] > Core 2 [2, 22] [12, 32] > Core 3 [3, 23] [13, 33] > Core 4 [4, 24] [14, 34] > Core 8 [5, 25] [15, 35] > Core 9 [6, 26] [16, 36] > Core 10 [7, 27] [17, 37] > Core 11 [8, 28] [18, 38] > Core 12 [9, 29] [19, 39] > > Ah, as machine B does not have a 40GbE, I did not bind any NIC and run my > program with locally generated packets.
