[LITMUS^RT] Want to understand what is Litmus-RT

[ABHIJIT DHANDHA [cb.en.p2ebs16001]]

Hi,

I am Abhijit Dhandha, pursing M.Tech in Embedded Systems from Amrita
University, India. My thesis project is based on Fault Tolerant Scheduling,
and while I was searching for a testbed I came across Litmus-RT. Reading
through it, I found it fascinating but was not able to understand what
exactly is does. Thus, I have a few questions, the question may sound
naive, but please do bear with me, for my background is Instrumentation and
Control and now I have developed a liking towards scheduling.

1. What exactly does Litmus-RT do?
2. Can I implement my own algorithms using Litmus-RT ? If yes, How ?
3. In which language do I have to write code ? ( C, C++, Python ?)
4. How do I observe the schedule/implementation of algorithm and monitor
its characteristics such as response time?
5. Which tasks/process are scheduled using Litmus-RT ? This in context to
that I don't have a particular application/test hardware system, so would
it schedule my laptop's tasks ?
6. How it can help in fault tolerance ?

Looking forward to your response.

Warm regards

Abhijit Dhandha
