I see. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any question about the results.

Which experiment/use case do you plan to run?
What are the requirements (or performance guarantees) you want to have
from RTDS?


The configuration for the VCPUs depends on the tasks and the OS
scheduler running on the VCPUs.
The VCPU's utilization (budget/period) is usually larger than the
tasks' utilizations (\sum e_i / p_i), where e_i is the task's
worst-case execution time, and p_i is the task's period.
The VCPU's parameters can be calculated by the CARTS tool [1],

Did you try "sudo xl top"?
IIRC, sudo xl top should work.

Which version of Xen or commit point did you use?

Thanks,
