Class Documentation

class switchml::DpdkWorkerThread

A class that represents a single dpdk worker thread.

A worker thread constantly asks the context for work and carries it out.

Multiple instances of this class is typically created depending on the number of cores in the configuration. This class has no Start and Join functions as other typical thread classes in the client library. This is because starting and joining the DPDK worker thread is handled by DPDK itself.
