Hey all,
I'm currently attempting to stress test my setup of -rt kernel, rtirq
scripts, and a Jack client program I've been working on.
So my idea is to create a script that runs the programs, and also a
cpu-load generating program (cpuburn or alternative).
Then collecting stats based on Xruns, % DSP load, etc.
I intend to show (trough brute force) that an application is RT capable
on machine X with a latency of Y ms.
Of course this won't be 100% representative, but the stats will show
some RT-safe-ness.
Has anybody done this kind of profiling / stress testing with JACK
before?
Hints / tips / advice / etc welcomed! -Harry
once upon a time, many many years ago, i had this one:
http://www.rncbc.org/archive/old/jack_test4.4.tar.gz
untar, make and ./jack_test4_run.sh
ps. it might need some contemporary review ofc.
pps. just for the laughs, the dusty now old story tells about that this
jack_test hack was very instrumental back on the primordial days of
voluntary_preempt which in turn lead to the early kernel 2.6 preempt_rt
patches and testing and, as a matter of in fact, first rtirq inception
also dates from that glorious era :)
cheers
