Will this release use multiple processors? Now or ever? #3

Closed farmwald closed 4 years ago

If I remember correctly, the previous lochnair-vyatta was single threaded. On a single CPU with the Edgerouter 8 (Infiniity), I get about 60 MB/sec wireguard thruput. That's fine, but more is always better.

WireGuard should be multithreaded by default. Can you provide some technical findings on why you suspect this is single threaded?

From the comment: "@neilalexander WireGuard is meant to be multithreaded; Ubiquiti just lacks the option for it in their kernel. " on page https://community.ui.com/questions/Release-WireGuard-for-EdgeRouter/3765d2a4-1952-4629-948a-3ac9d9c22311. Also when I use a EdgeRouter 8 (16 cpus x 1800MHz), I get 60MB/s which seems right for a single processor and low for many processors.

Sorry, I accidentally closed this.

We haven't required CONFIG_PADATA in an incredibly long time. When @FossoresLP releases the new debs tomorrow, try updating and seeing if you're in better shape.

@farmwald So, do you find this repo produces faster modules for you?
