Hi Siva,

Thanks for the information.  Could you please clarify below


  1.  So should we see C1 increment in below stats.  Or is it CX?
[Siva] It ll be accounted in "Cx"

  1.  Are there any specific kernel boot parameter setting we need?  to get 
into MWAITX.
[Siva] No additional boot parameters required.

# cpupower -c 2 monitor

    | Mperf              || Idle_Stats
CPU| C0   | Cx   | Freq  || POLL | C1   | C2

Thanks,
Reshma

Hi Reshma,

Yes, with pmd-mgmt="monitor" allows AMD power monitor on Genoa.
You can monitor the same using "cpupower -c <n> monitor" tool.

Hi Sivaprasad,

I am running dpdk l3fwd-power application in "monitor mode" on AMD Genoa using 
below command.
./dpdk-l3fwd-power -l 1-3 -- -p 0x1 --config="(0,0,2),(0,1,3)" 
--pmd-mgmt=monitor

Does it allow cores to  use DPDK AMD power monitor support  feature based of 
mwaitx 
(https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/[email protected]/)?
If so how do I confirm if the cores are entering implementation dependant C1 
State. If any pointers please let me know.

Thanks,
Reshma
