2.1. Supported Platforms

RTI Perftest makes use of the RTI Connext DDS Rtiddsgen tool in order to generate part of its code and also the makefile/project files used to compile that code.

RTI Perftest scripts works for every platform for which Rtiddsgen can generate an example, except for those in which Rtiddsgen doesn’t generate regular makefiles or Visual Studio Solutions but specific project files. That is the case of Android platforms as well as the iOS ones.

Certain platforms will compile with the out of-the-box code and configurations, but further tuning could be needed in order to make the application run in the specific platform. The reason is usually the memory consumption of the application or the lack of support of the platform for certain features (like a file system).

Note: The compilation of RTI Perftest C# API for Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express or 2010 Express is not supported.

2.2. Download instructions

RTI Perftest bundle is provided in 3 different ways:

  • You can clone it from the official Github repository:

    git clone -b 2.4 https://github.com/rticommunity/rtiperftest.git

    This command will download the Github repository in a folder named rtiperftest and move to the 2.4 tag.

  • You can download a zip file containing the RTI Perftest source files from the RTI Perftest Github page: github.com/rticommunity/rtiperftest. Once the zip file is downloaded you will need to extract its content, this will create a folder named rtiperftest.

  • You can download a zip/tar.gz file containing the RTI Perftest executable statically compiled for some of the most common platforms from the RTI Perftest Github release page: https://github.com/rticommunity/rtiperftest/releases in the “Binaries” section. Once the zip file is downloaded you will need to extract its content, this will create a folder with the binaries for your architecture.
