Run `doca_bench` (DOCA 2.7.0 or newer) to measure throughput, bulk latency, precision latency, or maximum bandwidth for RDMA, Compress, AES-GCM, SHA, DMA, EC, Ethernet, Comch, or GPUNetIO on a host or BlueField Arm. Use it to discover enabled benchmark libraries, capture a reproducible command/version/device/environment baseline, compare stable runs against a declared tolerance, or diagnose configuration, device-binding, workload-precondition, and measurement failures. Trigger for requests such as measuring BlueField compression speed, NIC RDMA throughput, crypto latency, or a pre-upgrade baseline. Do not use for application end-to-end timing, custom benchmark code, DOCA installation, or binary patches.

Description: <br>

Run doca_bench (DOCA 2.7.0 or newer) to measure throughput, bulk latency, precision latency, or maximum bandwidth for RDMA, Compress, AES-GCM, SHA, DMA, EC, Ethernet, Comch, or GPUNetIO on a host or BlueField Arm. <br>

Owner

NVIDIA <br>

License/Terms of Use: <br>

Apache 2.0 AND CC-BY-4.0 <br>

Use Case: <br>

Developers and engineers who need a reproducible, vendor-supported way to measure DOCA library performance on their actual install and device, including baseline capture, regression testing, and cross-library throughput comparison. <br>

Deployment Geography for Use: <br>

Global <br>

Requirements / Dependencies: <br>

Requires API Key or External Credential: [No] <br> Credential Type(s): [None] <br>

Do not include secrets in prompts/logs/output; use least-privilege credentials; rotate keys as appropriate. <br>

Known Risks and Mitigations: <br>

Risk: Review before execution as proposals could introduce incorrect or misleading guidance into skills. <br> Mitigation: Review and scan skill before deployment. <br>

Skill Output: <br>

Output Type(s): [Shell commands, Analysis, Configuration instructions] <br> Output Format: [Markdown with inline bash code blocks] <br> Output Parameters: [1D] <br> Other Properties Related to Output: [None] <br>

Evaluation Agents Used: <br>

  • Claude Code (aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8) <br>
  • Codex (openai/openai/gpt-5.5) <br>

Evaluation Tasks: <br>

Evaluated against 4 evaluation tasks (3 positive skill-activation, 1 negative). <br>

Evaluation Metrics Used: <br>

Reported benchmark dimensions: <br>

  • Security: Checks whether skill-assisted execution avoids unsafe behavior such as secret leakage, destructive commands, or unauthorized access. <br>
  • Correctness: Checks whether the agent follows the expected workflow and produces the correct final output. <br>
  • Discoverability: Checks whether the agent loads the skill when relevant and avoids using it when irrelevant. <br>
  • Effectiveness: Checks whether the agent performs measurably better with the skill than without it. <br>
  • Efficiency: Checks whether the agent uses fewer tokens and avoids redundant work. <br>

Underlying evaluation signals used in this run: <br>

  • security: Checks for unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access. <br>
  • skill_execution: Verifies that the agent loaded the expected skill and workflow. <br>
  • skill_efficiency: Checks routing quality, decoy avoidance, and redundant tool usage. <br>
  • accuracy: Grades final-answer correctness against the reference answer. <br>
  • goal_accuracy: Checks whether the overall user task completed successfully. <br>
  • behavior_check: Verifies expected behavior steps, including safety expectations. <br>

Evaluation Results: <br>

    The doca-bench skill is a documentation-only resource that provides guidance for using the DOCA Bench CLI tool. It does not include any executable code or scripts and emphasizes safety through explicit warnings about production environments and a mechanism to prevent command flag hallucinations.

Requires DOCA SDK ≥ 2.7.0 installed at /opt/mellanox/doca on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 or RHEL/SLES) with a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC attached and the `doca_bench` binary present at /opt/mellanox/doca/tools/doca_bench. Companion app must run on the far side for remote-memory / RDMA / Eth scenarios; host and BlueField-Arm execution both supported.
