This page contains some comparisons of jRate's and RTSJ Reference Implementation (RI) performance. The benchmark used to evaluate performances was RTJPerf which is described in this paper and available for download here.

The platform used to evaluate performances had the following charateristics:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 8
model name      : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping        : 3
cpu MHz         : 701.602
cache size      : 256 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2

and was running the TimeSys Linux/RT 3.1 GPL edition.

The set of performance results reported here are limited to:

• Allocation Time
• Dispatch Delay
• Periodic Thread

This test shows the performance of jRate allocators versus RI allocators.

This test measures the delay experienced in handling an event once it has been fired.

This tests measures the accuracy with which the waitForNext method is implemented in RealtimeThreads.
