Gabriele's PRCL/MICH reconstruction neural network is now running on c1lsc.  Summary:

• front-end model is called c1dnn, and is running as an experimental user-space process
• c1dnn is getting most of it's needed inputs from existing SHMEM IPC outputs from c1lsc
• none of the output signals from the network are being sent anywhere yet (grounded)
• c1dnn has not been integrated in any way, into the DAQ etc.  it is being run manually by hand, and will be completely shut down after this test

Simple MEDM screen I made to monitor the input/output signals:

The RTS process seems to run fine, but there is quite a bit of jitter in the CPU_METER, at the 50% level:

It's not running over the limit, but it is jumping around more than I think it should be.  Will look into that...

cpuset for cpu isolation for user-space model

The c1dnn model is running on CPU6 on c1lsc.  CPU6 was isolated from the rest of the system using cpuset.  The "cset" utility was used to create a "system" CPU set that was assigned to CPU0, and the kernel was instructed to move all running processes to that set:

controls@c1lsc:~ 2$ sudo cset set
cset:
         Name       CPUs-X    MEMs-X Tasks Subs Path
 ------------ ---------- - ------- - ----- ---- ----------
         root        0,6 y       0 y   343    0 /
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset set -c 0 -s system --cpu_exclusive
cset: --> created cpuset "system"
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset set
cset:
         Name       CPUs-X    MEMs-X Tasks Subs Path
 ------------ ---------- - ------- - ----- ---- ----------
         root        0,6 y       0 y   342    1 /
       system          0 y       0 n     0    0 /system
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset proc --move -f root -t system -k
cset: moving all tasks from root to /system
cset: moving 292 userspace tasks to /system
cset: moving 0 kernel threads to: /system
cset: --> not moving 50 threads (not unbound, use --force)
[==================================================]%
cset: done
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset set
cset:
         Name       CPUs-X    MEMs-X Tasks Subs Path
 ------------ ---------- - ------- - ----- ---- ----------
         root        0,6 y       0 y    50    1 /
       system          0 y       0 n   292    0 /system
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset proc --move -f root -t system -k --force
cset: moving all tasks from root to /system
cset: moving 50 kernel threads to: /system
[==================================================]%
cset: **> 29 tasks are not movable, impossible to move
cset: done
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset set
cset:
         Name       CPUs-X    MEMs-X Tasks Subs Path
 ------------ ---------- - ------- - ----- ---- ----------
         root        0,6 y       0 y    29    1 /
       system          0 y       0 n   313    0 /system
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$

I then created a set for the RTS process ("rts-c1dnn") on CPU6, and executed the c1dnn model in that set:

controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset set -c 6 -s rts-c1dnn --cpu_exclusive
cset: --> created cpuset "rts-c1dnn"
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset set
cset:
         Name       CPUs-X    MEMs-X Tasks Subs Path
 ------------ ---------- - ------- - ----- ---- ----------
         root        0,6 y       0 y    24    2 /
    rts-c1dnn          6 y       0 n     0    0 /rts-c1dnn
       system          0 y       0 n   340    0 /system
controls@c1lsc:~ 0$ sudo cset proc -s rts-c1dnn --exec /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/c1dnn/bin/c1dnn -- -m c1dnn
cset: --> last message, executed args into cpuset "/rts-c1dnn", new pid is: 27572
sysname = c1dnn
....

When done I just hit Ctrl-C.

I left the cpusets as they are, with all system processes in the "system" set.  This should not pose any problems since it's the identical configuration as would be if a normal kernel-level model was running in CPU6.

The c1dnn process and it's EPICS sequencer were shutdown after this test.
