• todo 8/25/10

  • separate proxy only tests and proxy + group scheduling tests

  • create support for pluggable hooks that let proxy talk to a scheduling subsystem

    • use a structure to hold all of the hooks as function pointers
    • use config ifdefs to control which scheduling subsystem structure is active

  • add support for ordering waiters using priorities to reproduce PI functionality

    • also have to add support for boosting/deboosting priority of proxies

      using the list of sorted waiters

  • create stress tests that do not utilize guided execution

  • create tests that map a guided execution config file on to the kernel rt mutex tester

• todo 2/1/10

  • an optimized version of sdf framed progress

• initial todo

  • group scheduling

    • group scheduling cleanup tool (made by Dillon, only partially works, need to debug)

      • clean out hierarchy
      • clean up/kill the group scheduling processes in the hierarchy?

    • default hierarchy

      • separate rt threads from linux

      • place rt threads under a scheduler that duplicates

        the behaviour of the linux scheduler

      • place rt sdf before the group scheduling hierarchy to enable

        interrupts to be serviced

    • create explicit plan sdf

  • active filters (no progress)

    • make active filters module friendly

      • use structure registration like group scheduling instead of a static table

    • configuration

    • create a unified configuration(like group scheduling) for enabling

      the filter and passing parameters instead of having custom user-side configuration code for every filter

• done

  • an outline for group scheduling documentation

  • add additional comments to sdf framed progress

  • documentation about writing an sdf

  • debug balanced pipeline freezing (no progress, panics)

  • add additional counters to sdf safe

  • a boiler plate sdf file

  • finish active filter to filter network data on a per computation basis

  • detailed check of completeness of the network instrumentation for discovery

  • cleanup printks in ccsm/group scheduling/dski

  • send kernel debugging information to dski instead of printk

  • debug sigpipe_gsched freezing

  • remove task aslias code in kernel

  • documentation

    • netconsole

  • discovery postprocessing

    • run discovery tests with postprocessing
    • try to figure out what is going on

  • group scheduling

    • add linux return value for group scheduling decisions

    • Add a group level flag to automatically delete the group when it is empty if it is set

    • add safe sdf to monitor group scheduling hierarchy

      • monitor if linux has not been run in a long time

      • monitor if dski needs to be run

      • monitor if the same task has been picked repeatedly

        • but the parent sdf doesn’t know what the children are picking?

      • explicit plan or sequential with state variables?

    • create unified socketpipe code

• todo with Dillon

  • /proc/dski

    • events that are present
    • events that are enabled for each stream
    • active filters enabled for each stream
