System-wide Performance Optimization and Load Rebalancing of an Embedded Linux System

Optimized system-wide performance and rebalanced the load to decrease system boot time to comply with the client's requirements. Also, I performed a complex system bottleneck analysis with the help of Function Tracer (ftraces) and Trace Compass. The system was rebalanced by setting proper priority and CPU affinity for the critical applications of the client. I found out that high-priority real-time kernel threads were not created fast enough due to the kernel thread daemon's low priority (nice 0). Finally, I analyzed the interrupt request (IRQ) load profile and redistributed IRQs to other cores.
