Real-Time Innovations, Inc. (RTI) is announcing the immediate availability of NDDS 4.0, its high performance implementation of the Object Management Group´s (OMG´s) Real-Time Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard.
NDDS 4.0 has already been running as a beta release at nearly 50 sites in many different mission-critical applications. The general-access release is now available for these sites, as well as for the hundreds of applications currently running NDDS 3.x in military/aerospace, transportation, finance, industrial automation and other industries.
“This release represents the fulfillment of a multi-year strategic plan,” explained Stan Schneider, chief executive officer of Real-Time Innovations. “We leveraged our extensive experience in distributed systems to create an optimal, standards-based solution based on proven success. System architects can rely on our mature technology, our experience with hundreds of real-world systems and the security of an accepted OMG standard. Our intention is to provide the highest-performance, most versatile, most proven DDS product on the market.”
New Architecture Features
In addition to the new DDS-compliant API, NDDS 4.0 features an advanced architecture that targets a broad array of high-performance, data-critical applications. New objectives and features in the architecture include:
· Flexibility: NDDS 4.0, based on RTI´s broad-based customer experience, adapts seamlessly to a wide range of application demands.
- Pluggable transports support any media, from wireless to switched fabrics.
- Programmable parameters, Quality of Service (QoS) and custom types ease complex system integration.
· Performance: The NDDS 4.0 architecture optimizes performance.
- Direct end-to-end messaging eliminates context-switch delays and supports message prioritization.
- Pre-allocated memory prevents allocation and fragmentation delays.
- The endpoint design dramatically accelerates messaging since there are no shared threads or memory requiring locking.
· Reliability: NDDS 4.0 targets mission-critical nonstop applications.
- There is no server process to crash, preventing catastrophic middleware failure.
- Applications do not share address space through the middleware, so the OS process isolation fully protects all applications.
- Dedicated buffers immunize against corrupted shared memory.
Schneider stated, “As embedded and real-time systems become more distributed, they need to share information between many sources. For many data-critical applications, the ability to deliver the right data to the right place at the right time drives success.”
The DDS standard defines high-performance, configurable publish-subscribe networking. It directly addresses the needs of data-critical applications. RTI was the lead author of DDS, and the standard is now building widespread acceptance in many industries. NDDS 4.0 is RTI´s premier high-quality DDS implementation.
