This file documents the process required to run the PCIe latency tests.
Note that the process may change between platforms and OS.

Step 1: Hardware setup
======================
1. vim /etc/default/grub
2. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="hugepagesz=1GB default_hugepagesz=1GB hugepages=8"
3. save and exit
4. update-grub
5. program the NetFPGA-SUME board with the pciebench bitfile located in: 
6. reboot

Step 2: Software setup
======================
1. clone the pciebench repository in the following path: "/root/virtex7-pcie-benchmark"
(https://GianniAntichi@bitbucket.org/GianniAntichi/virtex7-pcie-benchmark.git)
2. Build the software stack: run "make" in "/root/virtex7-pcie-benchmark/HOST"
3. create the dir hugepages : mkdir "/dev/hugepages/"
