February CoreDX DDS Connection 2024 Welcome to the Twin Oaks Computing, Inc Newsletter! Our monthly newsletter brings you news and information about Twin Oaks Computing and our CoreDX DDS middleware. Be sure to "like", "follow" and "friend" us on our Social Networking sites for fun facts, free giveaways, and stories about Communications Middleware, Technology, and Twin Oaks Computing. Introduction to the Data Distribution Service (DDS) Standard February 22, 2024 - 9am MST Join us for a technical DDS 101, a high-level introduction to the OMG's Data Distribution Service technology and standards. The Data Distribution Service (DDS) from the Object Management Group (OMG) is a data connectivity framework becoming standardized in a wide range of industries and military systems. From autonomous vehicles and embedded medical devices to electrical grids and intelligence and weapon systems, DDS is found in a growing number of architecture standards and government contracts. This webinar will focus o the technical features of DDS in the context of today's real-world use cases. Data Distribution Service Middleware (DDS) Turns 20! Twin Oaks Computing is excited to announce in 2024, we celebrate 20 years of DDS innovation with the DDS community. From its first use case that enabled distributed communications for US Navy ships to the autonomous systems of today, the DDS family of standards has enabled new generations of applications to run reliably, rapidly and securely, regardless of distance or scale. To commemorate this milestone, the DDS Foundation will be running a year-long celebration to highlight the 14 specifications in the DDS standard, along with selected real-world use cases. Kicking it off on January 18 is a webinar that starts at the beginning: A discussion with the original Principal Developer of the original Proof of Concept experiments, along with the lead developer for the Original DDS standard. You can watch the webinar here Look for a new webinar every month, focusing on DDS past, present, and future! CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks Welcome to this month's edition of CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks, where our engineers provide quick bits of information to help our customers. Understanding the History QoS Policy The History QoS policy contains 2 configuration items: kind and depth. The History.kind configures the behavior of the DataWriter or DataReader cache when it is full and another sample is added. The first option (and the default configuration) is KEEP_LAST. With the KEEP_LAST configuration, CoreDX DDS will quietly remove the oldest sample to make room for the newest. The other option is KEEP_ALL. With the KEEP_ALL option, the new sample will not be added if the cache is already full. This may result in an error return code from write (), or other status notification, depending on the configuration of other QoS policies. With a History.kind of KEEP_LAST, the other History configuration item comes into play: depth. The depth indicates the number of samples (in each instance) that may be stored before new samples replace the old. With a History.kind of KEEP_ALL, the History.depth configuration item is not considered for cache sizing. In order to set a maximum cache size with KEEP_ALL, the Resource Limits QoS policy should be used. CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks are intended to be useful for engineers using CoreDX DDS.
