Real-Time Performance Evaluation

1. System Configuration

  • Kernel Version: 6.6.73-rt47-v8-16k-RTLC+
  • Scheduler Policy: SCHED_FIFO
  • Test Tool: cyclictest
  • Test Parameters:
    • Priority: 95
    • Interval: 1000 μs
    • Duration: 1 minute
    • Threads: 4

2. Test Results

Thread Min Latency (μs) Avg Latency (μs) Max Latency (μs)
0 1 2 14
1 1 2 8
2 1 2 13
3 1 2 10

3. Analysis

  • The maximum observed latency is only 14 μs, which indicates excellent real-time responsiveness.
  • All threads reported very consistent low latencies, both in terms of minimum and average values.
  • The low jitter suggests a stable real-time environment with efficient scheduling.

4. Conclusion

The system demonstrates outstanding real-time performance, with low, stable, and predictable response characteristics. It is well-suited for real-time embedded applications like FluxSand.
