System Requirements¶
Xilinx Accelerator Card¶
- VCU1525
- U200
- Versal CPM5 XCVP1202
Host System¶
x86_64 host system with at least one Gen 3x16 PCIe slot and minimum 64GB RAM on same CPU node for 2K queues. For accomodating 4K queues in Versal CPM5 ~256GB RAM would be required. For VM testing, host system must support virtualization and it must be enabled in the BIOS.
Host System Configuration¶
QDMA DPDK driver latest release is verified on following host system configuration for PF and VF functionality
| Host System | Configuration Details |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS |
| Linux Kernel | 4.15.0-101-generic |
| CPU Cores | 32 |
| RAM | 64GB on local NUMA node |
| Hypervisor | KVM |
| Qemu Version | QEMU emulator version 2.11.1(Debian 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.26) |
| Vivado Version | 2020.1 |
Notes:
- When assigning the 2048 queues to PFs users shall make sure the host system configuration meets the requirement given above. If users want to enable iommu(iommu=on), make sure suffiecient Huge pages are available to support the 2048 queues.
- Versal CPM5 design supports 4096 queues. Users shall make sure the host system configuration meets the memory requirements to accomodate 4096 queues.
- QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor which emulates the machine’s processor through dynamic binary translation and provides a set of different hardware and device models for the machine, enabling it to run a variety of guest operating systems.This is used to emulate the virtual machines and enables the users to attach virtual functions to virtual machines.
Guest System Configuration¶
QDMA DPDK driver latest release is verified on the following guest system configuration for VF functionality
| Guest System(VM) | Configuration Details |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS |
| Linux Kernel | 4.15.0-101-generic |
| RAM | 20GB |
| Cores | 10 |
