IBM - Power Systems Testing
DPDK v25.11.1-rc1
* Build CI on Fedora 40, 41, 42 and 43 container images for ppc64le
* Basic PF on Mellanox: No issues found
* Performance: TestPMD throughput single core tests
* OS:- RHEL 10.1 kernel: 6.12.0-124.39.1.el10_1.ppc64le
with gcc version 14.2.1 20250110 (Red Hat 14.2.1-7)
Systems tested:
- LPARs on IBM Power11 CHRP IBM, 9105-22A
NICs:
- Mellanox Technologies MT4129 Family [ConnectX-7 100 GbE 2-Port]
- Firmware Version: 28.47.1088
- OFED 26.01-1.0.0
All looks well on our end.
