The Odroid-XU4/3 is a decent and easy accessible ARM big.LITTLE platform, which might be used for research and development. This small patch set provides possibility to run Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) on Odroid-XU4/3 and experiment with it. The patch 1/2 provides 'dynamic-power-coefficient' in CPU DT nodes, which is then used by the Energy Model (EM). The patch 2/2 enables SCHED_MC (which adds another level in scheduling domains) and enables EM making EAS possible to run (when schedutil is set as a CPUFreq governor). 1. Test results Two types of different tests have been executed. The first is energy test case showing impact on energy consumption of this patch set. It is using a synthetic set of tasks (rt-app based). The second is the performance test case which is using hackbench (less time to complete is better). In both tests schedutil has been used as cpufreq governor. In all tests PROVE_LOCKING has not been compiled into the kernels. 1.1 Energy test case 10 iterations of 24 periodic rt-app tasks (16ms period, 10% duty-cycle) with energy measurement. The cpufreq governor - schedutil. Unit is Joules. The energy is calculated based on hwmon0 and hwmon3 power1_input. The goal is to save energy, lower is better. +-----------+-----------------+------------------------+ | | Without patches | With patches | +-----------+--------+--------+----------------+-------+ | benchmark | Mean | RSD* | Mean | RSD* | +-----------+--------+--------+----------------+-------+ | 24 rt-app | 21.56 | 1.37% | 19.85 (-9.2%) | 0.92% | | tasks | | | | | +-----------+--------+--------+----------------+-------+ 1.2 Performance test case 10 consecutive iterations of hackbench (hackbench -l 500 -s 4096), no delay between two successive executions. The cpufreq governor - schedutil. Units in seconds. The goal is to see not regression, lower completion time is better. +-----------+-----------------+------------------------+ | | Without patches | With patches | +-----------+--------+--------+----------------+-------+ | benchmark | Mean | RSD* | Mean | RSD* | +-----------+--------+--------+----------------+-------+ | hackbench | 8.15 | 2.86% | 7.95 (-2.5%) | 0.60% | +-----------+--------+--------+----------------+-------+ *RSD: Relative Standard Deviation (std dev / mean) Changes: v2: - changed dynamic power coeffcient to 90 for A7, which prevents odd behaviour for some low utilisation and at low OPPs; now, the power ratio is ~3x between big an LITTLE core; it's better aligned with [1]; probably due to measurement noise at lower OPPs the values obtained from hwmon0|3 were different from reality; some synthetic workloads showed this differences - cleaned commit messages (no measurements in commit message) - merged configs into one patch and re-ordered patches - provided energy measurmements in the cover letter - measurements focused on comparing similar setup - with schedutil governor, to compare apples with apples The v1 can be found in [2]. The patch set is on top of Krzysztof's tree, branch 'next/dt' [3] and has been tested on Odroid-XU3 rev0.2 20140529.
