Description Song Liu 2011-10-04 22:22:38 UTC
This might be more useful with the increased importance of RT
Comment 1 Tom Zanussi 2011-10-06 11:46:52 UTC
These graphical tools are most useful apparently for RT systems.

Tuna is a top-like utility that allows you to change process settings such as scheduling priority and policy.

Oscilloscope continuously displays the output of 'cyclictest -v' in a scope-like display, essentially showing the scheduling latencies for real-time processes.

Both applications are implemented in Python.

Oscilloscope uses the stdout of cyclictest – apparently if you set it to generate too little, you get inaccurate results, too high and it can't keep up.

Also doesn't seem to support network natively, would probably have to use netcat or modify it

Essentially we need to decide whether it makes sense to add this.  It was initially suggested by Bruce, Darren may be the best person to provide input since it deals with RT.

Tom, should we move to 1.4?
Comment 3 Tom Zanussi 2012-10-08 18:49:58 UTC
Yes, that makes sense to me.
Comment 4 Darren Hart 2012-10-30 19:54:57 UTC
Assigning to dvhart for RT
Comment 5 Paul Eggleton 2017-06-20 10:52:55 UTC
So we haven't got to this by now and it's rather unlikely that we will, so I'm marking it as WONTFIX. (That's not to say that we can't add recipes for these in future should they be needed.)
