Hi!
I'm running cylictest on a OMAP3530 target board and am a bit
astonished about the results. Especially that the latency values
are better on a system with system load (hackbench) than on one
without system load. Here the values I get:
With system load (hackbench):
-----------------------------
# ./cyclictest -l 10000 -i 1000 -n -p 80 -q
# /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us
T: 0 ( 1853) P:80 I:1000 C: 10000 Min: 36 Act: 156 Avg: 154 Max:
244
Idle system:
------------
# ./cyclictest -l 10000 -i 1000 -n -p 80 -q
# /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us
T: 0 ( 2332) P:80 I:1000 C: 10000 Min: 81 Act: 530 Avg: 484 Max:
602
Some details to my test/system setup:
- Linux v3.8.13
- preempt-rt patch 3.8.13-rt14
- HW: TI OMAP3530 CM_T35 board
- Latest cyclictest from rt-tests git repository
I might have misconfigured the system. So here some extracts from
my .config:
...
CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT=y
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y
...
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED is not set
...
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y
...
With CONFIG_NO_HZ disabled I get slightly better results:
With system load (hackbench):
-----------------------------
# ./cyclictest -l 10000 -i 1000 -n -p 80 -q
# /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us
T: 0 ( 1840) P:80 I:1000 C: 10000 Min: 30 Act: 153 Avg: 154 Max:

Idle system:
-------------
# ./cyclictest -l 10000 -i 1000 -n -p 80 -q
# /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us
T: 0 ( 1371) P:80 I:1000 C: 10000 Min: 40 Act: 465 Avg: 435 Max:

Any ideas/explanations are really appreciated.
Thanks,
Stefan
