Task Classification Overhead

To select the next scheduling policy to switch to, the tasks are classified and then the task distribution is determined, as mentioned here. Based on the task distribution, the most appropriate scheduling policy is selected. The time taken to classify the tasks and determine the task distribution is logged as task classification overhead.

The logs are written to a file named <logFilePrefix>_<timestamp>_classificationOverhead.log, where

• logFilePrefix is the prefix provided using the -logPrefix option.
• timestamp corresponds to the time when Elektron was run.

The format of the data logged is as shown below.

<yyyy/mm/dd> <hh:mm:ss> <overhead>

Note: The classification overhead is logged in microseconds.
