  • Real-Time Performance During CUDA™ a Demonstration and Analysis of Redhawk™ CUDA RT Optimizations
    A Concurrent Real-Time White Paper 2881 Gateway Drive Pompano Beach, FL 33069 (954) 974-1700 real-time.ccur.com Real-Time Performance During CUDA™ A Demonstration and Analysis of RedHawk™ CUDA RT Optimizations By: Concurrent Real-Time Linux® Development Team November 2010 Overview There are many challenges to creating a real-time Linux distribution that provides guaranteed low process-dispatch latencies and minimal process run-time jitter. Concurrent Computer Corporation’s RedHawk Linux distribution meets and exceeds these challenges, providing a hard real-time environment on many qualified hardware configurations, even in the presence of a heavy system load. However, there are additional challenges faced when guaranteeing real-time performance of processes while CUDA applications are simultaneously running on the system. The proprietary CUDA driver supplied by NVIDIA® frequently makes demands upon kernel resources that can dramatically impact real-time performance. This paper discusses a demonstration application developed by Concurrent to illustrate that RedHawk Linux kernel optimizations allow hard real-time performance guarantees to be preserved even while demanding CUDA applications are running. The test results will show how RedHawk performance compares to CentOS performance running the same application. The design and implementation details of the demonstration application are also discussed in this paper. Demonstration This demonstration features two selectable real-time test modes: 1. Jitter Mode: measure and graph the run-time jitter of a real-time process 2. PDL Mode: measure and graph the process-dispatch latency of a real-time process While the demonstration is running, it is possible to switch between these different modes at any time.

  • Patagonia Clonesys – a Tool to Install Multi-Boot Environments
    Patagonia CloneSys – A Tool to Install Multi-Boot Environments Christian Kurmann, Felix Rauch, Thomas M. Stricker Laboratory for Computersystems ETH Zurich, Switzerland Revised 24 November 1999, Christian Kurmann 1 Introduction The Patagonia CloneSys is designed to provide easy system installations on multi- boot and multi-purpose Clusters of PC’s. Do keep it easy and circumvent the devel- opment of a proprietary system it is based on standard UNIX tools and can easily be ported to other flavours of UNIXes. The scripts and ideas are subject to change and are provided as they are without any support. 2 Cloning: Basic Ideas Everybody knows the drudgery involved in manually setting up and rolling out new PCs, updating existing PCs, and recovering failed PCs. CloneSys makes a big dent in the time required to conduct these jobs. It first creates an exact image of a PC’s hard drive, effectively taking a ”snapshot” of all the files — hidden, visible, and active — that make up the operating system, applications, and configuration settings. The image can then be copied to any number of PCs, thereby creating completely identical installations. Moreover, it can be copied to many PCs simultaneously. This process it completely operating system independent which makes the system very easy and fast. As the raw disk data is copied, no file system initialization is needed, even the partitioning is implicitly done with a total clone. To support multi-boot environments the installation of single partitions is supported as well. To keep the system even easier as other commercially available tools we based it on freely available UNIX tools and Linux.

Dagenais Computer and Software Engineering Department, Polytechnique Montreal, C.P. 6079, Station Downtown, Montreal,´ QC,CanadaH3C3A7 Correspondence should be addressed to Raphael¨ Beamonte; [email protected] Received 29 March 2015; Revised 21 July 2015; Accepted 29 July 2015 Academic Editor: Ying-Tung Hsiao Copyright © 2015 R. Beamonte and M. R. Dagenais. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Real-time systems have always been difficult to monitor and debug because of the timing constraints which rule out anytool significantly impacting the system latency and performance. Tracing is often the most reliable tool available for studying real-time systems. The real-time behavior of Linux systems has improved recently and it is possible to have latencies in the low microsecond range. Therefore, tracers must ensure that their overhead is within that range and predictable and scales well to multiple cores. The LTTng 2.0 tools have been optimized for multicore performance, scalability, and flexibility. We used and extended the real-time verification tool rteval to study the impact of LTTng on the maximum latency on hard real-time applications. We introduced a new real-time analysis tool to establish the baseline of real-time system performance and then to measure the impact added by tracing the kernel and userspace (UST) with LTTng.

  • CPU Shielding Final
    CPU Shielding: Investigating Real-Time Guarantees via Resource Partitioning Progress Report 2 John Scott Tillman [email protected] CSC714 Real-Time Computer Systems North Carolina State University Instructor: Dr. Frank Mueller Project URL: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jstillma/csc714/ OVERVIEW This project is investigating the feasibility and limitations of using CPU shielding to allow hard real-time operation in commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. By theoretically bounding and experimentally verifying worst case interrupt response times (CPU contention), worst case bus reaction times (bus contention), and worst case slowdown associated with additional cache misses (cache contention). The goal is to verify the models/predictions and evaluate the predictability that can be achieved using this co-hosting method. TEST SYSTEM SETUP The system being tested contains an AMD Athlon x2 +3800 processor. This dual core processor contains a 512K L2 cache per core [6]. This limits cache contention effects under CPU shielding, but should still exhibit FSB contention. This property places this contention in the same category as all other external device DMA and can be considered using the techniques from [4]. The test system uses a standard Linux kernel (2.6.25). A variety of CPU affinity control methods exist for processes, but for our purposes the system call sched_setaffinity is ideal (see also cpu sets). A utility was written which moves all existing processes away from the second CPU. The shield utility does not continuously monitor these affinity masks, but it will restore them when it is exited. There is no documented way to monitor for new process creation in linux, however, new processes will inherit the affinity mask of their parent process (they can, themselves call sched_setaffinity to override it though).
