Case Study Presentation (Andrew Job)
- Andrew Job, Founder and CEO, Plotlogic
- They have a few applications currently using OpenDDS
- These applications scan rocks in the mines. Data collected is used in coordination with other information collected in the mines to analyze and research sustainability impact and carbon footprint. Helps them to identify needs/risks and make recommendations
- They chose OpenDDS because it has a high degree of reliability in addition to the fact that it has proven to be a “very scalable framework for them.” OpenDDS has allowed them to write lots of applications.

Discovery Performance Comparison (AM)
-
Motivation
- Track OpenDDS discovery performance
- Already tracking for RTPS
-
Rough comparison between discovery mechanisms
- RTPS Multicast, DCPSInfoRepo, RtpsRelay
- Determine needed improvements for RtpsRelay to replace DCPSInfoRepo
-
Method
-
Expand OpenDDS Bench to allow running non-bench processes
- Specifically, DCPSInfoRepo and RtpsRelay
-
Expand OpenDDS performance dashboard scenario coverage for DCPSInfoRepo and RtpsRelay
- Each worker creates 2 DataReaders and 2 DataWriters, similar to existing RTPS scenarios
-
Expand OpenDDS Bench to allow running non-bench processes
-
Results
- Ongoing performance tracking results for DCPSInfoRepo and RtpsRelay
-
Next Steps
- Investigate / resolve scenario errors for DCPSInfoRepo and RtpsRelay
- RtpsRelay performance improvements
- Additional scenarios / topologies
- Dashboard improvements to improve comparison between scenarios
Open Discussion (All)
Agenda for Next Meeting (All)
