doca-flow-perf SKILL.md skillA

doca-flow-perf from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-flow-perf@git:20261025.3aecfe9

Pins git:20261025.3aecfe9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when the user measures control-plane insertion throughput of DOCA Flow with the doca_flow_perf binary on x86 host or Arm cores — selecting a configs/ JSON policy, weighing the DPDK-versus-DOCA backend, running the smoke iteration then the eval loop, interpreting CPU cycles plus num_pushed / num_failed, or capturing the four-tuple (DOCA release, firmware, JSON policy, worker config) that makes an insertion figure defensible. Also load it for implied asks like…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DOCA Flow Perf (`doca_flow_perf`)

## Examples

- **"How many rules per second can my BlueField insert?"** —
  this is in scope. Stay on `doca_flow_perf`; do not retune
  a live Flow app here.
- **"DPDK vs DOCA benchmark."** — pick the JSON policy and
  backend; capture the four-tuple that makes Kops/sec
  defensible.
- **"My production pipeline is losing hardware offload."** — out of
  scope: that is diagnosing a live Flow application, owned by
  `doca-flow-tune`. Name it and stop; do not run a `doca_flow_perf`
  benchmark for it.

## Instructions

Follow Loading order below. Open the tasks companion for configure /
run / debug. Open the capabilities companion for backends and
policy files. Do not open every companion file.

**Where to start:** This is a tool skill for invoking
`doca_flow_perf`, the host-side / DPU-CPU-side DOCA Flow
performance measurement tool. Open the tasks companion and
start at `## configure` to commit to
the three-axis decision (target Flow pipeline shape × traffic
class × measurement axis) and pick the JSON policy file that
expresses the workload, then `## run` for the
single-iteration smoke, then `## test` for
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nvidia/skills/doca-flow-perf@sha256:1abd591238a9fc87

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.3aecfe9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
