If i specify 1 nano second, so all the real time tasks will be scheduled below 1 nano second? It seems impossible! If it is the time when a timer interrupt comes and preempts a real time task till that real time task is scheduled again ( is this the definition of the scheduling latency?). Again this definitions seems not OK because it can not be 1 nano second!! It is too fast to do any thing.

CONFIG_XENO_OPT_TIMING_SCHEDLAT is the value of /proc/xenomai/latency at boot time. /proc/xenomai/latency is an estimation of the minimum scheduling latency on your system. In order to know what to put there you should do: echo 0 > /proc/xenomai/latency Run latency under load for several hour echo minimum_latency > /proc/xenomai/latency The value put there is then subtracted to timers deadline, so that timers wake up a little bit early to compensate for the time it takes to return to user-space. -- Gilles. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

It is not obvious which path is the shortest. For instance, having to wake up from a "wait for interrupt" state to handle the timer interrupt may induce a certain latency, and so may not be the shortest path. So, running the test for a long time, and with a lot of different activities is an empiric way to try many paths so that extreme paths have more chances to be closest to the extrema paths. And anyway, you usually want to know the worst case latency for your system as well. -- Gilles. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

After echoing 0 in /proc/xenomai/latency For the first one the system load was very weak. I ran the test on the second core because most of the interrupts are processed on the first core. So the latency process was almost alone. #*/usr/xenomai/bin/latency -p 100 -c 1 -T 21600* [...] RTS| 2.388| 3.134| 18.706| 0| 0| 06:00:00/06:00:00 For the second test, the system was under a very high load. I used a shell script very close to dohell and sent a lot of external interrupts (ping flood, GPIO interrupt...). This time latency ran on the first core, and was subject to a lot of preemptions from interrupt requests. #*/usr/xenomai/bin/latency -p 100 -c 0 -T 21600* [...] RTS| 2.908| 7.797| 51.579| 0| 0| 06:00:00/06:00:00 I would recommend, as you said, for long time tests to alternate high and low pressure stages to get the min and max values. Apart from that, on my board (Panda with Xenomai 2.6.0), I note that writing in /proc/xenomai/latency such as # echo 2388 > /proc/xenomai/latency gives a segmentation fault, even if the value is indeed written.
