[dpdk-dev] Issue while running test/testpmd applications

[Jose Gavine Cueto]

Hi,

#2 - It depends on the platform that testpmd is running on.  If it ran
directly on top of the hardware then usually you have fixed lcores.  For
example, in Linux, you can call "nproc" to check how many cores are
available.

Make sure you have sufficient number of cores and set the core mask
appropriately.

Cheers,
Pepe
