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.

Sequences and Strings - bounded or unbounded?

CoreDX DDS provides both bounded and unbounded strings and sequences for use in application defined data types.

With CoreDX DDS, unbounded strings and sequences are truly unbounded - the application can dynamically size and add to these data types, and memory will be allocated as necessary to hold the data. This means a sample containing a 10-byte string will use less memory than a sample with a 100-byte string. Not all DDS implementations offer these truly unbounded data types.

Bounded strings and sequences are considered fixed-sized data types. If a DataWriter or DataReader's data type contains all fixed-sized components, CoreDX DDS may be configured to preallocate memory for the writer or reader's data cache, increasing performance.

CoreDX DDS allows the application developer to choose between the flexibility of unbounded data types and the deterministic and real-time performance of fixed sized and bounded data types. When designing your data types, you are free to choose the data types best suited to each particular Topic and application.

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