Using and Understanding the Real-Time Real-Time Cyclictest Benchmark Cyclictest results are the most frequently cited real-time Linux metric. metric. The core concept of Cyclictest is is very simple. simple. o!ever the test options are are very extensive. The meaning meaning of Cyclictest results appear simple "ut are actually quite complex. This talk talk !ill explore and explain the the complexities complexities of Cyclictest. #t the end of the the talk$ the audience !ill !ill understand ho! Cyclictest results descri"e the potential real-time performance of a system.

Caveats 'easured maximum latency is a floor of the possi"le maximum latency - Causes of delay may "e partially completed !hen timer 3R4 occurs - Cyclictest !akeup is on a regular cadence$ may miss delay sources that occur outside the cadence slots
Caveats 9oes not measure the 3R4 handling path of the real RT application - timer 3R4 handling typically fully in 3R4 context - normal interrupt source 3R4 handling5 - irq context$ small handler$ !akes 3R4 thread - 3R4 thread eventually executes$ !akes RT process
Caveats Cyclictest may not exercise latency paths that are triggered "y the RT application$ or even non-RT applications - &'3 to fixup instruction errata - stopmachine12 - module load : unload - hotplug
