Why DataWriter::write() execution time can grow with local multicast subscribers

Summary On Linux/Windows and potentially other operating systems, when a DataWriter sends data samples to a multicast address, the performance of the underlying UDP sendmsg() call varies depending on whether multicast DataReaders are located on the same local host. If there are no local, multicast ...

XTypes compliance mismatch

By default, Connext data serialization is not fully compliant with Extended CDR encoding. While this doesn't affect correctness it may prevent interoperability with other vendors. To make Connext compatible with the OMG 'Extensible and Dynamic Topic Types for DDS' specification, version 1.3 , you ...

High CPU usage after SHMEM resources are removed by a third-party

The shared memory built-in transport in RTI Connext uses IPC segments and semaphores under the hood to perform DDS communication between DomainParticipants. It is important that those IPC resources are not destroyed while RTI Connext applications are using them. Failure to do so may result in ...

Achieving low-jitter performance with Connext Pro

Achieving low jitter and more deterministic write times and real-time performance requires in-depth tuning at the OS layer and DDS layer. It tends to involve a long list of recommendations to apply e.g. you can see advice online that involves similar checklists. This article summarizes best practices, and we recommend exploring and testing all the recommendations listed here. ...

Why do I get 'User storage is not valid' error when I create a DDS Entity

The multiple APIs of Connext have an internal concept named User Storage, which is used to store API-specific data required for certain features. This concept is normally part of the DomainParticipant entities and is configured through code as a QoS. While the APIs will configure this concept ...

Enabling communication between SPDP and SPDP2 participants with Routing Service

Communication between participants using Simple Participant Discovery Protocol (SPDP) and Simple Participant Discovery Protocol 2.0 (SPDP2) is not possible by default. Both participant and endpoint discovery will fail to complete between an SPDP and SPDP2 participant. See Discovery Overview in the ...

Which RTI library architecture should I use for my Linux platform?

To determine if your Linux platform is compatible with an RTI architecture, you will need to know the CPU architecture (e.g. x64 or ARM), GLIBC, and GLIBCXX versions in your target platform. To find the GLIBC library, here are the steps we recommend you run on your target platform: $ ldd `which ls ...
