RapiDaemons

RapiDaemons are small applications that run on multicore hardware and generate intentional contention on specific resources within the system.

Each RapiDaemon targets a specific resource, for example caches, interconnects, memory and other on-chip or off-chip shared resources. This lets you identify and quantify the effects of multicore interference by running different RapiDaemons in different configurations.

RapiDaemons and characterization tests are used as inputs to generate tests that can run on a multicore platform to collect results using RVS.
