One of the most important topics of today is a packet processing in data centers
with respect to the power consumption and efficient utilization of computational
resources. The ARM architecture has proved to be an energy efficient
computational system. Together with an integrated FPGA on a single die, it offers
potentially a high performance with respect to the power consumption. DPDK -
a set of libraries and drivers intended primarily for fast packet processing - is
becoming to be a standard approach for packet processing, especially in data
centers. In this paper, we exploit the potential of packet processing based on
DPDK and FPGA SoC architectures. Especially, we aim at the potential of utilizing
the ARM Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A53 CPUs.
One of the most important topics of today is a data processing in data centers with respect to a low-power consumption and efficient utilization of computational resources. For such purposes, solutions with integrated FPGAs like the Xilinx Zynq and ZynqMP can be used. After few years of existance of such platforms, there is still no standard way of data processing on such platforms. The lack of a standard API for those purposes can be solved by utilizing the DPDK library intended for fast access to the hardware. This paper introduces a potential of utilizing the DPDK on Zynq and ZynqMP-bases systems.
