[LITMUS^RT] Fwd: [litmus-rt] Experiment scripts

[Glenn Elliott]

Jonathan!  You didn't do yourself justice with your explanation!

Jonathan's tool suite can:
1) Automated overhead measurement: (step 1)  Buy a new system.  (step 2) Install Litmus and Jonathan's tools.  (step 3) Run a script with default parameters.  (step 4) A while later, you get overheads.
2) Automated Litmus testing.  You give the scripts a few parameters, and it puts the various Litmus schedulers through their paces.
3) Framework for repeatable experiments.  If you want to make your experiments repeatable for others, you can give them a few input files and parameters.  The scripts do the rest.

These are based off the scripts used by Chris and I in our paper submissions. I made them as user-friendly as possible, so that I will get as few emails as possible. I've also integrated a few ideas from other people at UNC, included instant messaging (Mac) when an experiment completes, and emails (Glenn) when all experiments complete.

Currently, it is very difficult for casual readers to re-create the experiments presented in our papers. It's also too hard to quickly test, debug, and evaluate changes to Litmus, so people just don't do it.
