Clustered/partitioned scheduling helps to control the worst-case latencies in the system. The goal is to reduce the amount of shared state in the system and thus prevention of lock contention. Modern multi-processor systems tend to have several layers of data and instruction caches. With clustered/partitioned scheduling it is possible to honour the cache topology of a system and thus avoid expensive cache synchronization traffic. We have clustered scheduling in case the set of processors of a system is partitioned into non-empty pairwise-disjoint subsets. These subsets are called clusters. Clusters with a cardinality of one are partitions. Each cluster is owned by exactly one scheduler instance.
Tools Required ============== The following tools are used in the production of this documentation: TeX texi2html 1.82 texinfo-tex 4.13a texi2html will be deprecated in the upcomine texinfo release. At that point, we will need to provide support for texi2any.pl as an alternative means to produce html output. This was used by the authors to generate the directory tree figure in the texinfo printed version: tree (from the CTAN Archives -- see http://jasper.ora.com/ctan.html) Changing the Version Number and Timestamp ========================================= RTEMS Version number is in configure.in. Edit that file and run bootstrap. Documentation date is in common/setup.texi.in and also must be modified by hand. bootstrap does not have to be run after modifying this file. Making the Documentation ======================== cd rtems-XXX/doc ../bootstrap ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode make all make install Cleaning ======== make clean make distclean make maintainer-clean Making a Source Distribution ============================ This generates a rtems-<version>.tar.gz in the toplevel directory. Making a Preformatted Distribution ================================== Install and tar it up. :)
