SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       qatmgr is a daemon that manages QAT resources for the Intel© Quick
15       Assist Technology (Intel© QAT) user space library (qatlib).

OPTIONS

18       -d, --debug=LEVEL
19              set debug level, default 0 for no debug. Higher debug level
20              produces more output.
21
22       -f, --foreground
23              run in the foreground. By default, the qatmgr runs as a daemon
24              in the background.
25
26       -h, --help
27              display help page
28
29       -p, --policy=POLICY
30              selects the QAT manager policy. This determines how resources
31              should be allocated to each process using the qatlib library.
32              The default POLICY 0 allocates one virtual function (VF) from
33              each physical function (PF) endpoint to each process. This
34              should be selected for best performance.  A POLICY of 1
35              allocates a single VF to each process. This should be selected
36              for maximum scalability.  Any other POLICY value allocates that
37              number of VFs to each process.
