Hi Sebastian, I think Rolf understands that but he is simply interested in deviation anyway. I can agree deviation gives some more insight into nature of latency observed even if it is clear then max peak is what determines real-timeness of the setup. One may be interested in distribution of latency - you may have two setups with same average and max peak while there is much less meaningful peaks on one than on the other. cheers, Piotr -----Original Message----- From: linux-rt-users-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-rt-users-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Sent: 26 June 2017 15:31 To: rolf.freitag@xxxxxxxx Cc: r t <linux-rt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Variance, Standard Deviation, Skewness and Kurtosis for cyclictest results?

The important part is the max value. If you have avg at 30us and max at 500us then you know, that you can't meet your deadline for a cycle of 400us. > Regards, > > Rolf Sebastian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{�����ǫ���ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
