Exploring DDS X-Types - Webinar on Demand


Join Nina Tucker, VP of Engineering at Twin Oaks Computing, as she explores DDS X-Types. One of the fundamental concepts in the DDS technology is the use of data type information to make data exchange robust, efficient, and feature-rich. The X-Types specification provides a rich toolset for defining data types for use in DDS Systems. This includes how data types are defined, how they may evolve, how they are exchanged between DDS participants at run-time, and rules for data type assignability.

In this episode of the DDS Foundation's 20th Anniversary webinar series, we will explore the Extensible and Dynamic Types for DDS (or "X-Types") specification and learn how this very important component of the DDS standards impacts the design, function, and interoperability of DDS systems.

You can view the webinar here

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.

Configuring the CoreDX DDS listener thread

Does your application contain user-defined listener callback methods (for example, a DataReader on_data_available listener)? Are any of these listener methods potentially long running? Do they have the potential to block?

By default, CoreDX DDS executes application defined listener methods in one of its internal processing threads. To avoid impacting DDS performance with a potentially long running application defined listener method, enable the CoreDX DDS listener thread using the DomainParticipant Thread Model QoS policy. For example:

my_dp_qos . thread_model . create_listener_thread = 1;

This configuration allows application listener methods to block without affecting other CoreDX DDS operations.

CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks are intended to be useful for engineers using CoreDX DDS. If you have any questions, please contact us.
