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
