Host Memory Bandwidth XRT (XRT Native API's) ============================================ This is host memory bandwidth example to describe host memory and kernel bandwidth test using native xrt api's. **KEY CONCEPTS:** host memory, bandwidth, address translation unit **KEYWORDS:** host_only, HOST[0] This is a host application to test Host Memory bandwidth. It contains 3 kernels namely read_bandwidth, write_bandwidth and bandwidth (for concurrent read and write).The host application runs all 3 kernels with variable buffer sizes and measures the bandwidth for each case. Finally the design reports the maximum bandwidth achieved for each case. The host allocates a buffer into specific host-only buffer using ``host_only`` flag. .. code:: cpp xrt::bo::flags flags = xrt::bo::flags::host_only; auto hostonly_bo_in = xrt::bo(device, bufsize, flags, krnl.group_id(0)); auto hostonly_bo_out = xrt::bo(device, bufsize, flags, krnl.group_id(1)); Using the ``sp`` option in the krnl_bandwidth.cfg file, AXI-Master Port is connected to the Slave-Bridge IP: :: sp=bandwidth_1.input0:HOST[0] sp=bandwidth_1.output0:HOST[0] sp=read_bandwidth_1.input0:HOST[0] sp=write_bandwidth_1.output0:HOST[0] Following is the real log reported while running the design on U250 platform: :: Open the device0 Load the xclbin ./build_dir.hw.xilinx_u250_gen3x16_xdma_3_1_202020_1/bandwidth.xclbin Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 7.48369 (GB/sec) for buffer size 4.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.000335063 (GB/sec) for buffer size 4.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.000344473 (GB/sec) for buffer size 4.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 7.33095 (GB/sec) for buffer size 8.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.000665857 (GB/sec) for buffer size 8.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.000693077 (GB/sec) for buffer size 8.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 8.49993 (GB/sec) for buffer size 16.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.00154943 (GB/sec) for buffer size 16.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.0015804 (GB/sec) for buffer size 16.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 12.4713 (GB/sec) for buffer size 32.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.00397313 (GB/sec) for buffer size 32.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.0040426 (GB/sec) for buffer size 32.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 15.8589 (GB/sec) for buffer size 64.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.00929847 (GB/sec) for buffer size 64.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.00944232 (GB/sec) for buffer size 64.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 18.7322 (GB/sec) for buffer size 128.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.0202977 (GB/sec) for buffer size 128.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.0203858 (GB/sec) for buffer size 128.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 20.2429 (GB/sec) for buffer size 256.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.0397041 (GB/sec) for buffer size 256.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.0429825 (GB/sec) for buffer size 256.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 21.1149 (GB/sec) for buffer size 512.00 KB Read Throughput = 0.0783758 (GB/sec) for buffer size 512.00 KB Write Throughput = 0.0869292 (GB/sec) for buffer size 512.00 KB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 21.7278 (GB/sec) for buffer size 1.00 MB Read Throughput = 0.156576 (GB/sec) for buffer size 1.00 MB Write Throughput = 0.177042 (GB/sec) for buffer size 1.00 MB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 21.8723 (GB/sec) for buffer size 2.00 MB Read Throughput = 0.30943 (GB/sec) for buffer size 2.00 MB Write Throughput = 0.356215 (GB/sec) for buffer size 2.00 MB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 22.0848 (GB/sec) for buffer size 4.00 MB Read Throughput = 0.615448 (GB/sec) for buffer size 4.00 MB Write Throughput = 0.720843 (GB/sec) for buffer size 4.00 MB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 22.4699 (GB/sec) for buffer size 8.00 MB Read Throughput = 1.26089 (GB/sec) for buffer size 8.00 MB Write Throughput = 1.4473 (GB/sec) for buffer size 8.00 MB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 14.6714 (GB/sec) for buffer size 16.00 MB Read Throughput = 2.71928 (GB/sec) for buffer size 16.00 MB Write Throughput = 2.84091 (GB/sec) for buffer size 16.00 MB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 13.6195 (GB/sec) for buffer size 32.00 MB Read Throughput = 5.44235 (GB/sec) for buffer size 32.00 MB Write Throughput = 5.74132 (GB/sec) for buffer size 32.00 MB Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 12.6072 (GB/sec) for buffer size 64.00 MB Read Throughput = 11.0016 (GB/sec) for buffer size 64.00 MB Write Throughput = 11.3533 (GB/sec) for buffer size 64.00 MB Maximum bandwidth achieved : Concurrent Read and Write Throughput = 22.4699 (GB/sec) Read Throughput = 11.0016 (GB/sec) Write Throughput = 11.3533 (GB/sec) TEST PASSED EXCLUDED PLATFORMS ------------------ Platforms containing following strings in their names are not supported for this example : :: _u25_ u30 u50lv u50_gen3x4 zc vck aws 2019 2018 samsung _u2_ DESIGN FILES ------------ Application code is located in the src directory. Accelerator binary files will be compiled to the xclbin directory. The xclbin directory is required by the Makefile and its contents will be filled during compilation. A listing of all the files in this example is shown below :: src/bandwidth.cpp src/host.cpp src/read_bandwidth.cpp src/write_bandwidth.cpp Access these files in the github repo by `clicking here `__. COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS ---------------------- Once the environment has been configured, the application can be executed by :: ./host_memory_bandwidth_xrt -x
