Currently (until I get my kernel.org account set back up) I'm keeping
it on github:

	git://github.com/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git

No tarballs available, just the git tree. 

Hopefully I'll get my k.o. account back up this week and will be back
to the old spot.

Thank all of you very much.

Hi Clark,

How to install this new version? Could you give me
some instructions? Thanks.

Bei, 

That's a git tree. You'll need to compile the images from there. 

What distro are you using? Debian delivers rt-tests as a .deb, so you
could just apt-get it from there. I don't think Fedora delivers
rt-tests as an RPM.

I have two distros, Fedora and Ubuntu. Under the Fedora, I just use "make
install" and it seems to work well. Now I can use the command cyclictest in
Fedora.

But, under the Ubuntu, you mean I can use apt-get. Is the following right?
apt-get install github.com/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
 (But it doesn't work. Please correct me.)


Another question, how to get the histogram graphic using the cyclictest. I
use the following command but I cannot get it.

[root@localhost ~]# cyclictest -h -s -p 80 -n -i 10000 -l 1000
WARNING: High resolution timers not available
policy: fifo: loadavg: 0.13 0.10 0.09 4/229 5283

No you don't need to specify the git repository; there should be a
package already set up in the stable debian: apt-get install rt-tests

The histogram option (-h) takes an argument, which is the max value
to record in microseconds. So, -h100 would generate a 100 element
histogram (1 microsecond per line). Since it doesn't look like you're
running on an RT kernel (no hrtimers available), you'll have a wide
variance in response times, so you'll need a big histogram range to
catch everything. 

Try this:

# cyclictest -t -p80 -m -i 10000 -l 1000 -h 10000

Then be ready for 10000 lines of output when you control-C out of
cyclictest.

OK. It works well in my two distros now. Thank you all very much:)

Um, you can't use apt-get to install a git repo.

You want:

apt-get install rt-tests
