SoftRoCE Performance with 10G ethernet
I found the SoftRoCE throughput is much lower than TCP or UDP. I used two
high-end servers with Myricomm 10G dual port NIC. I ran a CentOS-7 virtual
machine in each of them. I upgraded the virtual machine kernel to the lastest
4.9(2016-12-11) version:

GNU/Linux
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two virtual machines use virtio nic driver so the network I/O over head is
very low. The iperf tool show ~9Gbps peak throughput with both TCP/UDP:

Then I used ibv_rc_pingpong to test the bandwith between the two virtual
machines. The result is extremely low:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[weijia@srvm1 ~]$ ibv_rc_pingpong -s 4096 -g 1 -n 1000000 192.168.30.10
local address: LID 0x0000, QPN 0x000011, PSN 0x3072e0, GID
::ffff:192.168.29.10
remote address: LID 0x0000, QPN 0x000011, PSN 0xa54a62, GID
::ffff:192.168.30.10
8192000000 bytes in 220.23 seconds = 297.58 Mbit/sec
1000000 iters in 220.23 seconds = 220.23 usec/iter
[weijia@srvm1 ~]$ ibv_uc_pingpong -s 4096 -g 1 -n 10000 192.168.30.10
local address: LID 0x0000, QPN 0x000011, PSN 0x7daab0, GID
::ffff:192.168.29.10
remote address: LID 0x0000, QPN 0x000011, PSN 0xdd96cf, GID
::ffff:192.168.30.10
81920000 bytes in 67.86 seconds = 9.66 Mbit/sec
10000 iters in 67.86 seconds = 6786.20 usec/iter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I repeated the ibv_rc_pingpong experiments with different message sizes,
and tried both polling/event mode. And I also measured the CPU utilization of
the ibv_rc_pingpong process. The result is shown in the attached figure. 'poll'
means polling mode, where ibv_rc_pingpong is issued without '-e' option; while
'int' (interrupt mode) represents the event mode with '-e' enabled. It seems
the CPU is saturated when SoftRoCE throughput goes up to ~2Gbit/s. This does
not make sense since udp and tcp can do much better. Could there be some
optimization for SoftRoCE implementation?
