The +Rhealstone metric is composed of six independent benchmarks, each of which measure +an activity that is critical in real time systems: + +* Task switch time +* Task preemption time +* Interrupt latency time +* Semaphore shuffle time +* Deadlock breaking time +* Intertask message latency + +An implementation of the Rhealstone metric allows for RTEMS performance to be +compared with other real-time systems. + +The original proposal outlining the Rhealstone benchmark can be found http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/rpn/biblio/ddj/Website/articles/DDJ/1989/8902/8902a/8902a.htm[here]. + +Some other implementations can be seen in http://timsengineeringblog.weebly.com/masters-thesis.html[FreeRTOS] and http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/science/rpn/biblio/ddj/Website/articles/DDJ/1990/9004/9004d/9004d.htm[iRMX]. |
