Subject: PATCH : offline scheduler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Len Hello 
offsched is a platform aimed to assign a service to an off-lined processor.
Motivation is explained in: 
http://sos-linux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sos-linux/offsched/trunk/Documentation/OFFSCHED.pdf
Currently I have implemented two services:

HYBRID REAL TIME LINUX 
Implemented as a A 1us timer. This timer shows how a true real time system may co-exist with a 
regular linux server. This way there is no enforcement of a real time system requirements on the
entire kernel. Full documentation is at:
http://sos-linux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sos-linux/offsched/trunk/Documentation/OFFSCHED-RT.pdf

RTOP
This piece of software send system statistics to a remove server.
The user benefit is that even if the machine is un-accessible (remotely or locally) 
RTOP still sends system statistics to a remote server. I have showed in a small paper what RTOP is:
http://sos-linux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sos-linux/offsched/trunk/Documentation/OFFSCHED-RTOP.pdf

The patch is mostly a facility for offsched. The exporting of tasklist_lock is because RTOP is implemented as a driver
and it must lock the tasks list.
This is the 4-th post. I will be grateful for your reply.
