[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] test scaling of HTM lock elision protecting rte_hash

Roman Dementiev roman.dementiev at intel.com
Tue Jun 16 19:16:46 CEST 2015


This patch adds a new auto-test for testing the scaling
of concurrent inserts into rte_hash when protected by
the normal spinlock vs. the spinlock with HTM lock
elision. The test also benchmarks single-threaded
access without any locks.
