SYNOPSIS

       rt_server [-hV] [-o ior-file] [-m manager-ior] [-P period]
       [-f  run-time]  <-t  task-ior|-n  name> [<compute1> [<com-
       pute2> ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       The rt_server utility exports a CORBA object  that  gener-
       ates  synthetic computing load when periodically driven by
       the rt_client(1) command.  Its primary purpose is to serve
       as  an interesting process that the CPU Broker can manage.
       The process communicates with the Broker  using  the  task
       object  specified  by -t or creates its own if -n is used.
       The actual amount of CPU it consumes in a given period  is
       determined  by  the  computeN  arguments.  These arguments
       specify a loop of time values that determine how  much  of
       the  period it should spend consuming the CPU.  The values
       can be a number with units (e.g. "60000000us",  "60000ms",
       "60s", or "1m") or without, in which case it is assumed to
       be microseconds.  When a period completes, it will  switch
       to  the  next value in the sequence.  The default sequence
       oscillates between half the period and a  quarter  of  the
       period.

       Available options:


       -h     Print out a usage message.

       -V     Print out a version number.

       -o ior-file
              The  output  file  for  the object's IOR. (Default:
              ./rtserver.ior)

       -m manager-ior
              The   Broker::Manager   IOR   for   this   machine.
              (Default: file://manager.ior)

       -P period
              The period of the process.  The value can be a num-
              ber  with  units  (e.g.  "60000000us",   "60000ms",
              "60s",  or  "1m")  or  without, in which case it is
              assumed to be microseconds.  (Default: 1 second)

       -f run-time
              The amount of time to run for.  The value can be  a
              number  with  units  (e.g. "60000000us", "60000ms",
              "60s", or "1m") or without, in  which  case  it  is
              assumed to be microseconds.  (Default: forever)

       -t task-ior
              The  IOR for the Broker::RealTimeTask that has been
              created for this  process.   This  is  incompatible
              with the -n option.

       -n name
              The  name  to  use  when  creating  a Broker::Real-
              TimeTask for this process.   This  is  incompatible
              with the -t option.

EXAMPLES

       To start a process with a period of half a second and con-
       sumes 100 milliseconds and 125  milliseconds  every  other
       period.

              [nemo@anemone  rbroker]  rt_server  -n rt1 -P 500ms
              100ms 125ms

              Now to drive that process we start a client:

              [nemo@anemone rbroker] rt_client -P 500ms
