This is with --lcores='4@(12,16)' , but I'm not seeing any grouping going on.

Subject: Removing user threads from DPDK management
Hi all,
I have an application framework that starts up two shared libraries in two
separate threads. One of these libraries is mine, and in its initialisation I
call rte_eal_init(). However, this has the unfortunate side-effect of making
both threads run on the same CPU core, resulting in a throughput drop from an
ideal 2.5Gbps to about 1Gbps. I've tried options like:
--lcores='(0-19)@(0-19)'
Or
taskset f start_framework other_lib.so my_dpdk_lib.so then in
my_dpdk_lib.so code:
rte_eal_init(2, {"-c", "fff0"});
Or in my_dpdk_lib.so code
rte_thread_unregister();
And various combinations of the above, but nothing works.
I've read the Programmer's Guide chapter 4.3, but I'm not getting anything to
work. Am I missing something simple, or is there anywhere I can get a more
in-depth explanation of this stuff?
Thanks,
Ken
