Hyper-threading and CPU Affinity

Due to the polling operation of DPDK, using Hyper-threaded cores can degrade the OC-SDP's performance. Oracle recommends the user disable Hyper-threading in the host system if possible, or configure CPU affinities on the hypervisor to ensure mapping from only one virtual CPU to each physical CPU core.

The user can learn how to configure CPU affinity via their hypervisor documentation.
