Re: [Xen-users] Questions about sedf scheduler



Just an FYI... in 3.0.2 running "xm sched-sedf domid" will show the parameters. The method for setting parameters has changed also, xm help sched-sedf.

How does one go about building sedf.c. I tried several gcc options but
I
keep gettings errors.

Try:
cc -lxenctrl -o sedf_dump sedf_dump.c

But I think it is not working correctly now, I get slice/weight = 0 for
all
domains which is not right. Tim


Thanks

Subject: [Xen-users] Questions about sedf scheduler

Hi,

Diwaker had provided a program sedf.c on Jan30 to obtain the
parameters
for sedf scheduler
(please check

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-01/msg01228.html
).

In my setup, I'd two DomUs and Dom0 was running. I got the following
output while running the program:

# ./sedf
Domina#0: slice = 15000000, period = 20000000, extratime = 1, latency
=
0, weight = 0 Domina#18: slice = 0, period = 100000000, extratime = 1, latency = 0,
weight = 0
Domina#19: slice = 0, period = 100000000, extratime = 1, latency = 0,
weight = 0

I did not understand few things and would appreciate very much if
someone can clarify the following doubts:
1. Why the period-length is different for Dom0 and DomU's?

2. Does period-length mean the total time within which *all* domains
are
supposed to be scheduled *at least once*?
What does it mean exactly? What does slice-length mean exactly?
3. Can a domU have a slice-length as 0? If so, how can it be
scheduled?
I presume that value of extratime flag will make it scheduled, if set.
Please clarify.

4. If extratime flag was not set, do we need to set non-zero
slice-length explicitly to schedule a DomU?
Thanks in advance
,
Amitayu
