**Host CFS optimizations (QEMU+VPP)** Applying CFS scheduler tuning on all Qemu vcpu worker threads (those are handling testpmd - pmd threads) and VPP PMD worker threads. List of VPP PMD threads can be obtained e.g. from: :: $ for psid in $(pgrep vpp) $ do $ for tid in $(ps -Lo tid --pid $psid | grep -v TID) $ do $ echo $tid $ done $ done Or: :: $ cat /proc/`pidof vpp`/task/*/stat | awk '{print $1" "$2" "$39}' Applying Round-robin scheduling with highest priority :: $ for psid in $(pgrep vpp) $ do $ for tid in $(ps -Lo tid --pid $psid | grep -v TID) $ do $ chrt -r -p 1 $tid $ done $ done More information about Linux CFS can be found in: `Sched manual pages `_.
