“…In addition to large numbers of applications (which can be implemented on the containers), there can be heterogeneous demands for the applications (containers). For instance, heterogeneous applications, such as mixed-criticality systems for security monitoring require isolation between high-critical tasks and low-critical tasks [212], [213]. The isolation can be achieved through the abstraction processes of containerization while still meeting the heterogeneous performance requirements of the applications.…”

Scalable and flexible communication networks increasingly conduct the packet processing for Network Functions (NFs) in General Purpose Computing (GPC) platforms. The input/output (I/O)-intensive and latency-sensitive packet processing is challenging for the operating systems and hypervisors running on GPC platforms. This article surveys the existing enabling technologies and research studies on operating system and hypervisor aspects that directly influence the packet processing for NFs on GPC platforms. We organize this survey according to the main categories abstraction approach, memory access, and I/O strategy. We further categorize abstraction approach technologies and research studies into the categories operation systems, hypervisors, and containers. We partition the memory access category into the two subcategories of memory allocation and memory access, while we partition the I/O strategy category into the sub-categories I/O device virtualization and I/O device access. Our survey gives a comprehensive summary of the capabilities and limitations of the existing enabling technologies and researched approaches for abstraction, memory access, and I/O for NF packet processing. We outline critical future research directions for advancing NF packet processing on GPC platforms.

“…Only IsolBench supports periodic execution of these benchmarks, but it does not have a comprehensive interface that logs data on each period. The most accustomed Pragmatic benchmark suites include: TACLeBench [10] (used in [22,24,33]), San Diego Vision Benchmarks [35] (used in [3,11,29]), Mälardalen [14] (used in [5,25,26]) and several versions of SPLASH [2, 30,37] (used in [13,23,38]). TACLeBench has been designed with portability in mind for most of the benchmarks as they have target WCET analysis.…”

Benchmarking is crucial for testing and validating any system, even more so in real-time systems. Typical real-time applications adhere to well-understood abstractions: they exhibit a periodic behavior, operate on a well-defined working set, and strive for stable response time avoiding non-predicable factors such as page faults. Unfortunately, available benchmark suites fail to reflect key characteristics of real-time applications. Practitioners and researchers must resort to either benchmark heavily approximated real-time environments, or to re-engineer available benchmarks to add-if possible-the sought-after features. Additionally, the measuring and logging capabilities provided by most benchmark suites are not tailored "out-of-the-box" to real-time environments, and changing basic parameters such as the scheduling policy often becomes a tiring and error-prone exercise.In this paper, we present RT-bench, an open-source framework adding standard real-time features to virtually any existing benchmark. Furthermore, RT-bench provides an easy-to-use, unified command line interface to customize key aspects of the real-time execution of a set of benchmarks. Our framework is guided by four main criteria: 1) cohesive interface, 2) support for periodic application behavior and deadline semantics, 3) controllable memory footprint, and 4) extensibility and portability. We have integrated within the framework applications from the widely used SD-VBS and IsolBench suites. We showcase a set of use-cases that are representative of typical real-time system evaluation scenarios and that can be easily conducted via RT-Bench.
