dwrobel/kernel-rt

Description

Experimenting with and packaging linuxcnc and mesa card.

For the record: using 5.6.14-200rt7.fc31 latency on 10 years old machine Dell Optiplex 755 (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz + 4GB) under the following tests (lasting 5 days):

• linuxcnc latency-test
• glxgears
• hackbench -T 2 -l 1000000
• cyclictest -a -t -p 95 -N
• ping -f flood-to-another-host-over-100Mb-ethernet
• playing simultaneously two 24hour clips from yt on firefox

Results:

• Servo thread (1ms):
  • Max Jitter: 21392 [ns]
• Base thread (25us):
  • Max Jitter: 16900 [ns]

Machine booted with: "selinux=0 idle=poll transparent_hugepage=never audit=0 nmi_watchdog=0 nohz=on clocksource=tsc cpuidle.off=1 skew_tick=1 processor.max_cstate=0 isolcpus=1 rcunocbs=1 rcu_nocb_poll nohz_full=1 acpi_irq_nobalance" as per tuning guidelines and was tuned to use latency-performance profile

# tuned-adm  active
Current active profile: latency-performance

IRQ affinity was adjusted using irq-affinity.sh script.
