Understanding these terms will help in comprehending the functionality and architecture of DPDK.\n+\n+**BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)**\n+\n+The firmware used to perform hardware initialization during the booting process and to provide runtime services for operating systems and programs.\n+\n+**Bifurcated Driver**\n+\n+A driver model that splits functionality between kernel and userspace, often used in high-performance networking.\n+\n+**Clang-LLVM**\n+\n+A compiler toolchain that includes the Clang C compiler and LLVM linker, used for building DPDK on Windows.\n+\n+**contigmem Module**\n+\n+A module in FreeBSD that provides physically contiguous memory allocation used by DPDK.\n+\n+**DMA (Direct Memory Access)**\n+\n+A feature that allows hardware devices to access the main system memory directly, without involving the CPU.\n+\n+**EAL (Environment Abstraction Layer)**\n+\n+The layer within DPDK that abstracts environmental specifics and provides a standard programming interface.\n+\n+**hugepages**\n+\n+Large memory pages used by the operating system to manage memory more efficiently, especially in high-performance applications like DPDK.\n+\n+**IOMMU (Input-Output Memory Management Unit)**\n+\n+A hardware component that translates device-visible virtual addresses to physical addresses, providing memory protection and isolation.\n+\n+**MinGW-w64 Toolchain**\n+\n+A development environment for creating Windows applications, used as an option for compiling DPDK on Windows.\n+\n+**NIC (Network Interface Card)**\n+\n+A hardware component that connects a computer to a network.\n+\n+**nic_uio Module**\n+\n+A UIO driver for network devices in FreeBSD, used by DPDK.\n+\n+**NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access)**\n+\n+A computer memory design used in multiprocessing where the memory access time depends on the memory location relative to the processor.\n+\n+**PMD (POLL Mode Driver)**\n+\n+A type of driver in DPDK that continuously polls for events rather than relying on interrupts, often used for high-performance networking.\n+\n+**SoC (System on a Chip)**\n+\n+An integrated circuit that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single chip.\n+\n+**UIO (Userspace I/O)**\n+\n+A Linux kernel module that enables user-space applications to access hardware devices directly.\n+\n+**VFIO (Virtual Function I/O)**\n+\n+A kernel driver that allows a virtual machine to access physical devices directly, used in DPDK for device assignment.\n+\n+**VFIO Platform**\n+\n+A framework in Linux that allows exposing direct device access to userspace, in a secure, IOMMU-protected way.\n\\ No newline at end of file\n", "prefixes": [ "6/6" ] }
