Inside the Linux 2.6 Completely Fair Scheduler
Inside the Linux 2.6 Completely Fair Scheduler http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-completely-fair-scheduler/ developerWorks Technical topics Linux Technical library Inside the Linux 2.6 Completely Fair Scheduler Providing fair access to CPUs since 2.6.23 The task scheduler is a key part of any operating system, and Linux® continues to evolve and innovate in this area. In kernel 2.6.23, the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) was introduced. This scheduler, instead of relying on run queues, uses a red-black tree implementation for task management. Explore the ideas behind CFS, its implementation, and advantages over the prior O(1) scheduler. M. Tim Jones is an embedded firmware architect and the author of Artificial Intelligence: A Systems Approach, GNU/Linux Application Programming (now in its second edition), AI Application Programming (in its second edition), and BSD Sockets Programming from a Multilanguage Perspective. His engineering background ranges from the development of kernels for geosynchronous spacecraft to embedded systems architecture and networking protocols development. Tim is a Consultant Engineer for Emulex Corp. in Longmont, Colorado. 15 December 2009 Also available in Japanese The Linux scheduler is an interesting study in competing pressures. On one side are the use models in which Linux is applied. Although Linux was originally developed as a desktop operating system experiment, you'll now find it on servers, tiny embedded devices, mainframes, and supercomputers. Not surprisingly, the scheduling loads for these domains differ. On the other side are the technological advances made in the platform, including architectures (multiprocessing, symmetric multithreading, non-uniform memory access [NUMA]) and virtualization. -

Cloudstate: End-To-End WAN Monitoring for Cloud-Based Applications
CLOUD COMPUTING 2013 : The Fourth International Conference on Cloud Computing, GRIDs, and Virtualization CloudState: End-to-end WAN Monitoring for Cloud-based Applications Aaron McConnell, Gerard Parr, Sally McClean, Philip Morrow, Bryan Scotney School of Computing and Information Engineering University of Ulster Coleraine, Northern Ireland Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Modern data centres are increasingly moving to- It is therefore necessary to have a periodic, automated wards more sophisticated cloud-based infrastructures, where means of measuring the state of the WAN link between servers are consolidated, backups are simplified and where any two addresses relevant to the successful delivery of an resources can be scaled up, across distributed cloud sites, if necessary. Placing applications and data stores across sites has application to end-users. This measurement should be taken a cost, in terms of the hosting at a given site, a cost in terms of periodically, with the time between polls being short enough the migration of application VMs and content across a network, that sudden changes in the quality of the WAN are observed, and a cost in terms of the quality of the end-to-end network but far enough part so as not to flood the network with link between the application and the end-user. This paper details monitoring traffic. Data collected from polls should also be a solution aimed at monitoring all relevant end-to-end network links between VMs, storage and end-users. -
Measure Wireless Network Performance Using Testing Tool Iperf
Measure wireless network performance using testing tool iPerf By Lisa Phifer, SearchNetworking.com Many companies are upgrading their wireless networks to 802.11n for better throughput, reach, and reliability, but getting a handle on your wireless LAN's ( WLAN 's) performance is important to ensure sufficient capacity and coverage. Here, we describe how to quantify network performance using iPerf, a simple, readily-available tool that measures TCP /UDP throughput, loss, and delay. Getting started iPerf was developed to simplify TCP performance tuning by making it easy to measure maximum throughput and bandwidth. When used with UDP, iPerf can also measure datagram loss and delay (aka jitter). iPerf can be run over any kind of IP network, including local Ethernet LANs, Internet access links, and Wi-Fi networks. To use iPerf, you must install two components: an iPerf server (which listens for incoming test requests) and an iPerf client (which launches test sessions). iPerf is available as open source or executable binaries for many operating systems, including Win32, Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X, OpenBSD, and Solaris. A Win32 iPerf installer can be found at NLANR , while a Java GUI version (JPerf) is available from SourceForge . To measure Wi-Fi performance, you probably want to install iPerf on an Ethernet host upstream from the access point ( AP ) under test -- this will be your server. Next, install iPerf on one or more Wi-Fi laptops -- these will be your clients. This is representative of a typical application flow between Wi-Fi client and wired server. If your goal is to measure AP performance, place your iPerf server on the same LAN as the AP, connected by Fast or Gigabit Ethernet. -

Package Manager: the Core of a GNU/Linux Distribution
Package Manager: The Core of a GNU/Linux Distribution by Andrey Falko A Thesis submitted to the Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the BACHELOR OF ARTS Accepted Paul Shields, Thesis Adviser Allen Altman, Second Reader Christopher K. Callanan, Third Reader Mary B. Marcy, Provost and Vice President Simon’s Rock College Great Barrington, Massachusetts 2007 Abstract Package Manager: The Core of a GNU/Linux Distribution by Andrey Falko As GNU/Linux operating systems have been growing in popularity, their size has also been growing. To deal with this growth people created special programs to organize the software available for GNU/Linux users. These programs are called package managers. There exists a very wide variety of package managers, all offering their own benefits and deficiencies. This thesis explores all of the major aspects of package management in the GNU/Linux world. It covers what it is like to work without package managers, primitive package man- agement techniques, and modern package management schemes. The thesis presents the creation of a package manager called Vestigium. The creation of Vestigium is an attempt to automate the handling of file collisions between packages, provide a seamless interface for installing both binary packages and packages built from source, and to allow per package optimization capabilities. Some of the features Vestigium is built to have are lacking in current package managers. No current package manager contains all the features which Vestigium is built to have. Additionally, the thesis explains the problems that developers face in maintaining their respective package managers. i Acknowledgments I thank my thesis committee members, Paul Shields, Chris Callanan, and Allen Altman for being patient with my error-ridden drafts. -

Linux CPU Schedulers: CFS and Muqss Comparison
Umeå University 2021-06-14 Bachelor’s Thesis In Computing Science Linux CPU Schedulers: CFS and MuQSS Comparison Name David Shakoori Gustafsson Supervisor Anna Jonsson Examinator Ola Ringdahl CFS and MuQSS Comparison Abstract The goal of this thesis is to compare two process schedulers for the Linux operating system. In order to provide a responsive and interactive user ex- perience, an efficient process scheduling algorithm is important. This thesis seeks to explain the potential performance differences by analysing the sched- ulers’ respective designs. The two schedulers that are tested and compared are Con Kolivas’s MuQSS and Linux’s default scheduler, CFS. They are tested with respect to three main aspects: latency, turn-around time and interactivity. Latency is tested by using benchmarking software, the turn- around time by timing software compilation, and interactivity by measuring video frame drop percentages under various background loads. These tests are performed on a desktop PC running Linux OpenSUSE Leap 15.2, using kernel version 5.11.18. The test results show that CFS manages to keep a generally lower latency, while turn-around times differs little between the two. Running the turn-around time test’s compilation using a single process gives MuQSS a small advantage, while dividing the compilation evenly among the available logical cores yields little difference. However, CFS clearly outper- forms MuQSS in the interactivity test, where it manages to keep frame drop percentages considerably lower under each tested background load. As is apparent by the results, Linux’s current default scheduler provides a more responsive and interactive experience within the testing conditions, than the alternative MuQSS. -
Performance Testing Tools Jan Bartoň 30/10/2003
CESNET technical report number 18/2003 Performance Testing Tools Jan Bartoň 30/10/2003 1 Abstract The report describes properties and abilities of software tools for performance testing. It also shows the tools comparison according to requirements for testing tools described in RFC 2544 (Benchmarking Terminology for Network Intercon- nection Devices). 2 Introduction This report is intended as a basic documentation for auxiliary utilities or pro- grams that have been made for the purposes of evaluating transfer performance between one or more PCs in the role of traffic generators and another one on the receiving side. Section 3 3 describes requirements for software testing tools according to RFC 2544. Available tools for performance testing are catalogued by this document in section 4 4. This section also shows the testing tools com- patibility with RFC 2544 and the evaluation of IPv6 support. The summary of supported requirements for testing tools and IPv6 support can be seen in section 5 5. 3 Requirements for software performance testing tools according to RFC-2544 3.1 User defined frame format Testing tool should be able to use test frame formats defined in RFC 2544 - Appendix C: Test Frame Formats. These exact frame formats should be used for specific protocol/media combination (ex. IP/Ethernet) and for testing other media combinations as a template. The frame size should be variable, so that we can determine a full characterization of the DUT (Device Under Test) performance. It might be useful to know the DUT performance under a number of conditions, so we need to place some special frames into a normal test frames stream (ex. -
