Abstract

Linux-based mobile computing systems such as robots, electronic control devices, and smart-phone are the most important types of P2P cloud systems in recent days. To improve the overall performance of networked systems, each mobile computing system requires real-time characteristics. For this reason, mobile computing system developers want to know how well real-time responsiveness is supported; several real-time measurement tools have been proposed. However, those previous tools have their own measurement schemes and we think that the results from those models do not show how responsive those systems are. In this paper, we propose ELRM, a new real-time measurement method that has clear measurement interval definitions and an accurate measurement method for real-time responsiveness. We evaluate ELRM on various mobile computing systems and compare it with other existing models. As a result, our method can obtain more accurate and intuitive real-time responsiveness measurement results.
