I'm not sure how the accuracy/behavior of the deadline accounting to rq->rt_avg differs from the forthcoming patchset Juri mentioned, but if it's not as good, perhaps the mechanisms could be combined so that rt_avg (and by extension the per-CPU capacity adjustments in CFS) benefit as well.

Thoughts and Questions For EAS Energy Model

by Leo Yan

Hi all, Below are some thoughts and questions after reviewed EAS's energy model; my purpose is want to get clear the energy model from user's perspective, so below question will _ONLY_ focus on the model and not dig into the implementation. This email is related long, but i think if use formulas, we can easily get the same page; So i lists the energy model's formulas, then based on them i try to match with TC2's power data and bring up some questions. Look forward to your suggestions and comments. * Basic Energy and Power Calculation Formulas From the doc Documentation/scheduler/sched-energy.txt, we can get to know the energy can be calculated with: Energy [j] = Power [w] * Time [s] (F.1) So let's assume there have one piece of code, which has fixed instruction numbers will be executed on CPU, the execution duration is depend on CPU's pipeline and CPU's frequency. So can convert F.1 to F.2: Code [instructions] Energy [j] = Power [w] * ------------------------------ (Inst Per Cycle) * Frequency Code [instructions] = Power [w] * ------------------------------ (F.2) MIPS(f) `-> 'f' is factor of frequency Because MIPS(f) can be normalize as the CPU's capacity corresponding to OPP, so we can simply convert from F.2 to F.3: Code [instructions] Energy [j] = Power [w] * ------------------------------ (F.3) CPU_Capacity(f) If breakdown Power[w], we can split it into two parts: static leakage, and dynamic leakage: Power [w] = Ps [w] + Pd [w] (F.4) Static power leakage can be calculated with below formula: Ps [w] = i * V [v] (F.5) `-> 'i' is coefficient for according to silicon's process V [v] is voltage according to OPP Dynamic power leakage can be calculated with below formula: Pd [w] = b * V [v] * V [v] * frequency (F.6) `-> 'b' is coefficient for according to silicon's process V [v] is voltage according to OPP Here have two special cases, if the island's clock is gated, then Pd [w] = 0, So: Power [w] = Ps [w] (F.7) If the island is powered off, then Ps [w] = 0, Pd [w] = 0; So: Power [w] = 0 (F.8) So energy can be calculated as (come from F.3 and F.4): Code [instructions] Energy [j] = (Ps [w] + Pd [w]) * ---------------------- (F.9) CPU_Capacity(f) * Formulas for duty cycle We separate the logic (cluster or CPU) into two states: P-state and C-state, for P-state and C-state they have different power data, this is because after the logic enter C-state, it will be clock gating or powered off. So if we expand the time axis for relative long time, we need calculate CPU's utilization percentage (for CPU is full running, util = 100%). Let's simplize the ratio between "Code [instructions]" and "CPU_Capactity(f)" as the utilization, So the energy calculation can be depicted as: Code [instructions] Util(f) = -------------------------- (F.10) CPU_Capacity(f) Energy [j] = Power_Pstate [w] * Util(f) + Power_Cstate [w] * (1 - Util(f)) (F.11) (F.12) Energy [j] = Sum(i=0..MAX_OPP)(Power_Pstate [w](i) * Util_OPP(i)) + Sum(i=0..MAX_IDL)(Power_Cstate [w](i) * Util_IDL(i)) Sum(i=0..MAX_OPP)Util_OPP(i) + Sum(i..MAX_IDLE)Util_IDL(i) = 1 * Formulas for clusters (F.13) Energy [j] = Energy_cluster [j] + Sum(i=0..MAX_CPU_PER_CLUSTER)Energy_cpu(i) [j] (F.14) Energy_cluster [j] = Sum(i=0..MAX_OPP)(Power_Pstate [w](i) * Util_OPP(i)) + Sum(i=WFI, ClusterOff)(Power_Cstate [w](i) * Util_IDL(i)) (F.15) Energy_cpu [j] = Sum(i=0..MAX_OPP)(Power_Pstate [w](i) * Util_OPP(i)) + Sum(i=WFI, CPUOff)(Power_Cstate [w](i) * Util_IDL(i)) * Thoughts and Questions - Let's summary EAS's energy model as below: CPU::capacity_state::power : CPU's power [w] for specific OPP Power(OPP) = Ps [w] + Pd [w] CPU::idle_state::power : CPU's power [w] for specific idle state Power(IDLE_WFI) = Ps [w] Power(IDLE_CPUOff) = 0 CPU's IDLE_WFI means: CPU is clock gating, so has static leakage but don't include dynamic leakage. CLUSTER::capacity_state::power : Cluster's power [w] for specific OPP Power(OPP) = Ps [w] + Pd [w] CLUSTER::idle_state::power : CPU's power [w] for specific idle state Power(IDLE_WFI) = Ps [w] + Pd [w] Power(IDLE_CLSOff) = 0 Cluster's IDLE_WFI is quite special, means all CPUs in cluster have been powered off, but cluster's logic (L2$ and SCU, etc) is powered on and clock is enabled, so it includes cluster level's static power and dynamic power. Are these formulas matching the original design? - TC2's data for cluster's sleep: static struct idle_state idle_states_cluster_a7[] = { { .power = 25 }, /* WFI */ { .power = 10 }, /* cluster-sleep-l */ }; static struct idle_state idle_states_cluster_a15[] = { { .power = 70 }, /* WFI */ { .power = 25 }, /* cluster-sleep-b */ }; For cluster level's sleep, the clock is gating and domain is powered off, so the dynamic leakage and static leakge should be zero, right? - TC2's data for CPU's idle state: static struct idle_state idle_states_core_a7[] = { { .power = 0 }, /* WFI */ }; static struct idle_state idle_states_core_a15[] = { { .power = 0 }, /* WFI */ }; CPU has two idle state, one is 'WFI' and another is 'C2'; For 'WFI' state, the power will not be zero, this is because 'WFI' state means internal clock gating, so according to F.7, there should have static leakage. BTW, for TC2, there have no corresponding idle state for 'C2', this is weird. Could you confirm it has been delibrately removed? - TC2's data for P-state: static struct capacity_state cap_states_cluster_a7[] = { /* Cluster only power */ { .cap = 150, .power = 2967, }, /* 350 MHz */ [...] }; static struct capacity_state cap_states_core_a7[] = { /* Power per cpu */ { .cap = 150, .power = 187, }, /* 350 MHz */ [...] }; From previous experience, the CPU level's power leakage is very higher than cluster level's leakage. For example, for CA7, if only power on cluster (all CPUs in cluster are powered off), the power delta is ~10mA@156MHz; if power on one CPUs, the power delta is about 30mA@156MHz. I also checked the data for CA53, it has similar result. So this is confilict with TC2's power data, you can see the cluster level's power leakage is quite high (almost 15 times than CPU level). This means almostly we cannot get much benefit from CPU level's low power state, due cluster level will contribute most of power consumption. This is not make sense. - From formula F.4, we can combine power with static leakage and dynamic leakage; IPA also used static/dynamic leakage to depict energy model. But EAS uses another way, which provide the power data according to every OPP and idle state. So that means on one platform, we need provide two kinds of power data. IMHO, i think the static and dynamic leakage is more simple; because usually we will use (mW/MHz) to describe the power efficiency for specific CPU, though (mW/MHz) cannot very accurately for power consumption if the voltage has been changed (See formula F.6, usually the voltage will be increased at higher frequency). But if we use mW/MHz, maybe we can calculate with very simple way for we can just only use it to mulitplate with frequency to get dynamic power. So we only need provide below parameters: P-state: static leakage, power efficiency (mW/MHz), capacity (DMIPS/MHz); C-state: static leakage, power efficiency (mW/MHz); What's the thoughts for unify the energy model?

EASv5 Profiling On Hikey (6th Sept)

by Leo Yan

Hi all, This is the third round profiling for EASv5 patches on Hikey board (6th, Sept); Welcome any comment and suggestion. * Overview - 3rd round vs 2nd round: Add two patches based on EASv5, the first patch will select small group/cpu if the groups have same capacity, so it will place tasks into the first cluster for the LITTLE.LITTLE case; the second patch will fix the case: if the sched domain is already the highest level, need directly use its group to calculate shared capacity and energy difference. Also have enclosed these two patches for review. - 2nd round vs 1st round: According to review comments from eas-dev mailing list, refined the energy model for Hikey, also developed several python/shell scripts for automatic analysis. So profiling data will be devided into three parts: - C-state profiling data - P-state profiling data - Scheduler performance profiling data * Hardware Environment - Platform: 96boards Hikey - SoC: Hi6220, 2 clusters, 4xCA53 CPUs in each cluster - CPU clock: 2 clusters with 8 CPUs have same clock source and support 208MHz/432MHz/729MHz/960MHz/1200MHz - Support CPU and cluster level low power mode * Software Environment - Kernel (4.2 + EAS RFCv5) + extra two patches [1] - ARM-TF [2] - Enable CPUIdle with PSCI - Enable CPUFreq with cpufreq-dt driver - Profiling scritps: calc_idle_diff.py [3]: calculate C-state's difference for different configurations calc_pstate_time.py [4]: calculate P-state's difference for different configurations calc_sched_preformance.py [5]: calculate scheduler performance * Conventions Below are some conventions which used in below tables: CLS0: Cluster 0 CLS1: Cluster 1 WFI: CPU WFI state C2: CPU power down state M2: Cluster power down state DC: Duty cycle Configuration | Mailine EASv5 Enable CPUFreq CPUFreq | ENERGY_AWARE ondemand sched ------------- | ------- ----- ------------ -------- ------- Mainline (ndm) | Yes No No Yes No noEAS (ndm) | Yes Yes No Yes No EAS (ndm) | Yes Yes Yes Yes No EAS (sched) | Yes Yes Yes No Yes * Profiling: C-state & P-state The detailed profiling result have been uploaded to git-hub [6]; -

After applied the two extra patches, the profiling result is consistent and stable for EAS (ndm) and EAS (sched). The tasks will be placed into first cluster for LITTLE.LITTLE; so EAS (ndm) and EAS (sched) are much better for cluster level's idle duty cycle compared with noEAS (ndm). - If the tasks are placed only on one cluster, the CPU's cycles will not change too much, but cluster level's cycles will increase much higher with EAS (ndm) and EAS (sched); So after packed tasks into one cluster, the cluster level will run longer time. - With "sched" governor, it is more aggressive than "ondemand" governor, the CPUs will easily run at high OPPs (1.2GHz) and low OPP (208MHz); With "ondemand" governor, CPUs have many chances run at middle OPPs (729MHz or 960MHz). - Need investigate rt-app 31% case, it is abnormal for cpu/cluster's idle duty cycle. - Need investigate rt-app 25% case, it is abnormal for "ondemand" governor, which stay at OPP 1.2GHz much longer than other configurations.

EASv5 Profiling On Hikey (2nd Round)

by Leo Yan

Hi all, This is second round profiling for EASv5 on Hikey board. I refined the energy model data according to Dietmar's suggestion (also appreciate for Dietmar's detailed review and guidance). Please help review and looking forward any comment and suggestion. * Overview This is the second round profiling for EASv5 patches on Hikey board. According to review comments from eas-dev mailing list, refined the energy model for Hikey, also developed several python/shell scripts for automatic analysis. So profiling data will be devided into three parts: - C-state profiling data - P-state profiling data - Scheduler performance profiling data * Hardware Environment - Platform: 96boards Hikey - SoC: Hi6220, 2 clusters, 4xCA53 CPUs in each cluster - CPU clock: 2 clusters with 8 CPUs have same clock source and support 208mHz/432mHz/729mHz/960mHz/1200mHz - Support CPU and cluster level low power mode * Software Environment - Kernel (4.2 + EAS RFCv5) [1] https://github.com/Leo-Yan/linux/tree/profile_easv5_hikey - ARM-TF [2] https://github.com/96boards/arm-trusted-firmware/tree/hikey - Enable CPUIdle with PSCI - Enable CPUFreq with cpufreq-dt driver - Profiling scritps: calc_idle_diff.py [3]: calculate C-state's difference for different configurations calc_pstate_time.py [4]: calculate P-state's difference for different configurations calc_sched_preformance.py [5]: calculate scheduler performance * Conventions Below are some conventions which used in below tables: CLS0: Cluster 0 CLS1: Cluster 1 WFI: CPU WFI state C2: CPU power down state M2: Cluster power down state DC: Duty cycle Configuration | Mailine EASv5 Enable CPUFreq CPUFreq | ENERGY_AWARE ondemand sched ------------- | ------- ----- ------------ -------- ------- Mainline (ndm) | Yes No No Yes No noEAS (ndm) | Yes Yes No Yes No EAS (ndm) | Yes Yes Yes Yes No EAS (sched) | Yes Yes Yes No Yes * Profiling: C-state & P-state The detailed profiling result have been uploaded to git-hub [6]; i manually adjust with more readable format for below statistics. -

With EAS (sched), CPUIdle duty cycle is much better than other confugirations; If we review the cpu idle's duty cycle with P-state's statistics, we can easily to know if cpu frequency scaling is driven by scheduler, then it will introduce more aggressive policy to increase frequency. So CPU can finish tasks more quick and finally we can get better cpu idle's duty cycle. - With EAS (sched), it also introduce much higher for cluster level's cycle number; that can be explained by the scheduler will place tasks on single CPU rather than spread them, so CPU still need run for almost the same time, but the cluster level will run more time due the tasks is running sequential on less CPUs. - With EAS (sched), the CPUs are mainly running at lowest point (208MHz) or higher OPPs (960MHz or 1.2GHz); but for mainline kernel with ondemand governor, CPUs have many chances run at middle OPPs (432MHz or 729MHz). - For EAS (ndm), it enters cluster level's idle state for much less time if we compare with EAS (sched); After reviewed the detailed cpu level's idle data, EAS (ndm) will spread tasks into two clusters, but EAS (sched) will let only one cluster to run tasks as possible. So EAS (sched) can power off cluster 1 for most time, but EAS (ndm) will spread tasks to two CPUs, but these two CPUs are placed in two clusters separtely. - EAS (ndm) and EAS (sched) are much better for CPU level's idle duty cycle compare with noEAS (ndm). After enabled EAS_FEATURE, the CPU will run into low power mode for much more time than noEAS (ndm); though cluster level's idle duty cycle cannot demonstrate this. EAS (ndm) and EAS (sched) also will let CPU run at higher OPP than noEAS (ndm). - rt-app 6% case is special, EAS(ndm) and EAS(sched) will spread tasks into two clusters; so there have no improvement for cluster level's idle duty cycle.

[RFC] sched: Central, scheduler-driven, power-perfomance control

by Patrick Bellasi

Hi eas-dev, as pre-announced by Morten on that ML, last week we posted on LKML an RFC introducing SchedTune, a proposal for a central tuning knob. The current posting addresses DVFS biasing only. There will be a follow up posting to deal with task placement via integration with EAS as the upstream discussions move along. The full cover letter can be found here: http://www.kernelhub.org/?msg=819910&p=2 For your convenience the patch set is available here: git://www.linux-arm.com/linux-power eas/stune/rfcv1 Cheers Patrick -- #include <best/regards.h> Patrick Bellasi

We can get most benefit for CPU/cluster's duty cycle with EAS (ndm); The reason is for almost all cases, EAS (ndm) increases much time for cluster's power down, than means the scheduler have optimized load balance within one cluster rather than spread tasks to two clusters. - EAS (sched) is not consistent for all cases, for case MP3 even worse than mainline; for cases rt-app 6%/13%/25%/38%/44%/50% it has almost same behavior with EAS (ndm), but it's not stable for cases rt-app 19%/31%. - EAS (sched) introduces very high latency for sysbench, so the max response time it will take 20.47ms, which is much higher than other three configs. - EAS (sched) and EAS (ndm) will impact idle states selection in CPUIdle, and it increases the possibility for CPU level's state rather than cluster level's state; this result is coming from sysbench case.

[RFCv5] Energy cost model for energy-aware scheduling

by Morten Rasmussen

Hi eas-dev, In case you don't follow LKML, we have posted RFCv5 of the EAS patch set for review and comments. The main addition in this posting is scheduler-driven DVFS along with a number of smaller fixes and improvements. The full cover letter can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/7/754 For your convenience the patch set is available here: http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-power.git branch: energy_model_rfc_v5 Additional patches introducing a central tuning knob that influences both task placement and DVFS will be posted later for discussion. Thanks, Morten

eas-test branch ci failed

by Alex Shi

Hi Fathi, I just updated the eas-test branch on https://git.linaro.org/kernel/eas-backports.git But the dashboard said deploy linaro kernel failed: https://validation.linaro.org/dashboard/streams/public/team/linaro/eas/bund… And I didn't find the eas on https://ci.linaro.org/view/kernel-ci/ or lsk-ci. Guess I miss sth, could you lead me to right ci or testing url? Thanks&Regards! Alex

Updates to cpu capacity consolidation patches in the backports tree

by Amit Kucheria

Hi Alex, In 4.1-rc1, several patches (see 36ee28e4 onwards) related to cpu capacity consolidation were merged. It would be a good idea to refresh the eas-backport tree so that these patches are cherry-picked directly from mainline into stable/sched-upstream branch and their equivalent versions in stable/sched-core are removed. Regards, Amit
