I set the priority by:

task("seekur_drv","aria::Task").priority(99)

which does not affect the result (still delays).

The aria::Task is periodic (100ms) and the camera_ids::Task is triggered in the updateHook after a new image arrives.

As the camera Logger is writing with approx. 10 MB/s (and CPU load is below 20%) which is far away from the HDD limit (~60MB/s) and this whole issue does not occur when running the cameras with logger in syskit and the aria::Task outside syskit, I assume that this is not a hardware related issue.

As this problem for now seems to occur only when running both tasks (aria, camera_ids) within the bundle; what are the options to change the scheduling by syskit? Does syskit change the behaviour of how processes are scheduled by the OS in any way?

Christian

Several things could happen:

The logger consumes too much time to get out the images, caused by a
slow hdd.
Try to increase the priority level of the pioneer task within your
deployment to make this more urgent from the point of scheduling.

P.S. i assume you task is periodic

Hi,

I am using the aria task within syskit as a device which is supposed to
be called every 100ms. The aria task uses an additional thread
provided by the aria driver to communicate with the robot.

If I run that task from the syskit shell without additional sensors the
updateHook gets called as expected. If I add one or more cameras
(camera_ids) with loggers it happens that the updateHook gets stuck
for some time:

For some reason this problem does no longer occur as soon as the camera
loggers are stopped. It also does not occur when the aria Task is
started outside of syskit by using the default deployment and the
TaskInspector or the orocos.rb API.

It looks like the whole task is blocked somehow (the updateHook is not
really taking that much processing time).
Any ideas where this might come from and why this only occurs when
running both tasks with loggers in syskit?

Regards,
Christian
