# The Data acQuisition Development Kit
DQDK is a framework to develop data acquisition systems over UDP. DQDK uses AF_XDP with an ultra-lightweight UDP/IP stack.
DQDK exploits COTS hardware architectures and advanced OS features to achieve high-performance zero-loss DAQ.

## Build and Install
**Requires** Linux Kernel 6.6+
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.01 (Kernel 6.8)
For Ubuntu
```bash
apt install clang llvm libelf-dev libpcap-dev gcc-multilib build-essential linux-tools-common linux-tools-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) m4 libnuma-dev liburing-dev
```
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/kit-ipe/dqdk.git
cd dqdk
make
sudo make install
```
To uninstall run `sudo make uninstall` in `src`
## Latency Tests
DQDK uses NIC RX HW Timestamping to timestamp the packet on arrival.
Another timestamp is issued inside DQDK user-space code. The latency is calculated by calculating the differnece between the 2 timestamps.
The NIC clock (PHC) and the system clock should be synchronized.
An PTP service can be used to do this synchronization. Example:
```bash
ptp4l -i eth0 -m
phc2sys -s eth0 -c CLOCK_REALTIME -O 0
```
Run DQDK in debug mode to measure latencies. Make sure all NIC offloading capabilities are enabled and working properly, otherwise a kernel panic occurs and the server needs restarting. Disable ntpd, chronyd, systemd-timesyncd and systemd-timedated services because they will conflict with ptp4l.
