Monitoring and queuing for sift

Abstract

The SIFT instrumentation is called the "Window." This window was designed to collect internal data from SIFT while having minimal overhead. Window consists of Sender and Relay components. Sender is to be run on processors 0..5 and Relay will run on processor 6. Sender will gather values (currently 12) during the subframe allocated to a task and broadcast these values at the start of the next subframe. This timing was selected to guarantee Relay 3.2ms to collect and transmit the data.
