Title: A control system for controlling the operation of a data processing unit
Inventor: BORIS LEVINE
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2016-05-26
Abstract: A control system for controlling a data processing unit 32 comprises an input control module 36 which generates dummy data records having an identifier in an immutable data field and being of a type identical to one of the types of data record from multiple incoming data streams 2. The dummy records are interleaved with the data records from the input streams. All the records are then processed. A data record filter 39 identifies and separates out the dummy records using the identifier and passes them to a latency analysis module 44. The analysis module determines the latency of the dummy records using the time each record was interleaved and the time that record was received. The analysis module then determines if there has been a significant change in the latency value over time and if so sends feedback commands 45 to the input control module to reduce latency.
