Brief Introduction of Real-Time Performance Tuning Suite

“Intel® Real-Time Monitor Tool (Linux)” is a Linux tool running in Ubuntu to monitor real-time related events or indicators like SMI, CPU/GPU frequency change, power limitation throttling, thermal throttling, package power, and others that may impact real-time performance. If such events happened, the events will be logged into file on the disk and showed in the UI. In this case, no events happening is preferred.

• “Intel® Real-Time Configuration Check Tool” is a tool to check real-time related BIOS settings and give some recommends. It has two versions. One is BIOS version running in UEFI shell, and another is the Linux version running in the Linux shell. Some registers will be locked during silicon boot. So, the BIOS version has more permissions than Linux to dump settings. However, some settings may be overridden by the OS and Linux kernel. The Linux version of the tool can help to find such a case.
