Bash scripts for CPU usage and time estimation

Parallel experiment scripts

The following scripts were useful for profiling the performance of Rosetta and TinyYOLO v3 sharing resources on the i.MX8M Plus. These prototypes were developed in C++ before giving the support in the GStreamer wrapper GstInference and R2Inference. Even though the code of the prototype is not available these scripts may help people to profile their applications when parallel execution is needed.

Execution time estimation script

The execution time was taken using the C++ STL High-Precision clock inside the C++ prototype.

# This test is intended to run in parallel two inferences and log
# the performance in time terms.

# Variables for TinyYOLO

CPU usage estimation script

The CPU usage was taken from this script using the PS Linux command

# This script is intended to check the CPU usage 
# for processes related to TinyYOLO inference and
# Rosetta inference.

# Every 1 second, the script will sample the CPU usage
# for both inferences. So 900s/60s = 15min. Which means
# that for 15 minutes this script will be logging
# the CPU usage.

  if [ -z "$TINYYOLO_USAGE" ]

  then
     echo "rosetta usage : $counter, 0"
     echo "($counter, 0)" >> $ROSETTA_RESULTS_TXT
  else
