NAME

       rt-app - Test application for simulating a real-time periodic load

SYNOPSIS

       rt-app <config-file>

INTRODUCTION

       rt-app  is a test application that starts multiple periodic threads in order to simulate a
       real-time periodic load.

       The code is currently maintained on GitHub: https://github.com/scheduler-tools/rt-app

REQUIREMENTS

       rt-app runs on GNU/Linux.  It needs json-c to run,  and  a  3.14  or  later  linux  kernel
       supporting the SCHED_DEADLINE policy (unless built without the optional libdl).

USAGE

       rt-app  <config_file>  where  config  file  is  a full/relative path to a JSON file or "-"
       (without quotes) to read JSON data from stdin.

       See /usr/share/doc/rt-app/tutorial.txt for details of the JSON config file format

SEE ALSO

       workgen <config_file> can be used instead of rt-app directly. It allows  more  freedom  in
       writing  the  JSON  workload  files,  by  having a less strict grammar which is useful for
       defining multiple similar events. It will parse, check and update the JSON  workload  file
       before passing it to rt-app. See workgen(7)

       The python merge script ( /usr/share/doc/rt-app/examples/merge.py ) can be used to combine
       JSON snippets into the config file. e.g:
       ./merge.py  -o  combined.json   global.json   resources.json   thread0.json   thread1.json
       thread2.json thread3.json
