Message:

Improves speed of the DPDK format(and parallel libtrace) and fixes some DPDK bugs

Fixes bug with PCI address being parsed as a decimal instead of hex.
Fixes bug so DPDK Breaks out of loop when libtrace_halt is called

For performance

• Rearranges the header format used to simplify code which might show a small speed up
• Batching packets is now supported thoughout the parallel framework
• DPDK now always reads packets in bursts if possible, including in single threaded mode
• Calls to retrive system time only needs to occur once for a batch of packets
• The CPU core used to run DPDK is/are now picked based upon the NUMA node the NIC is attached to
• A delay has been added to reduce the memory load of polling after unsuccessful attempts this tends to improve performance

File:

• configure.in (modified) (3 diffs)
