Why is CoreDX DDS the Best Choice?

January 2012

The Twin Oaks Advantage

There are a number of factors that contribute to the complexity of a software system, all of which increase schedule budget and risk. Using a communications middleware reduces system complexity, making this line of increasing complexity a linear one. CoreDX DDS further reduces this complexity with advanced features.

Small Footprint: With a small footprint and full Quality of Service coverage, CoreDX DDS is designed specifically to meet the performance and complexity requirements of real-time, embedded, time-critical, and mission-critical applications, while still being small in size and conservative in memory usage. 

CoreDX DDS Advantages

Small Source Code Baseline: CoreDX DDS is well designed and compact with a low line of code count. Code bloat results in in-efficient code, code that is more likely to contain errors, and code that is harder to extend, maintain, and port to additional platforms.

CoreDX DDS Advantages

CoreDX DDS offers High Performance: CoreDX DDS provides exceptionally low latency and sustained high throughput numbers across all supported hardware architectures.

CoreDX DDS Advantages

CoreDX DDS is highly scalable: CoreDX DDS has the ability to communicate data to thousands of subscribers without requiring high powered machines or typical desktop memory resources. This allows the network to scale to large numbers of DDS entities while conserving run-time memory resources.

CoreDX DDS Advantages

CoreDX DDS supports advanced reliable communications technology: CoreDX DDS can easily be employed reliably in wireless and other unreliable network environments. CoreDX DDS has lightweight, reliable communications protocols that have higher efficiency and scalability than TCP.

CoreDX DDS Advantages

CoreDX DDS has proven vendor interoperability: CoreDX DDS can exchange data and communicate with every other implementation of DDS.

CoreDX DDS Advantages

CoreDX DDS does not have a single point of failure: CoreDX DDS does not require any operating system services or daemons. This eases installation, deployment and maintenance, and eliminates the concern that if one process fails, so would all DDS communications

CoreDX DDS Advantages

CoreDX DDS has advanced support for single and multi-core architecture: Applications running on multi-core hardware can take advantage of all cores by simply using CoreDX DDS for communications. CoreDX DDS can also be used in single threaded mode to improve performance on smaller, single-core hardware.

CoreDX DDS Advantages

Dynamic Types: CoreDX DDS Dynamic Types allows the run time creation and determination of DDS topics and Data Types. This technology eases integration challenges, enables flexible bridging between disparate systems, and reduces static memory usage.

CoreDX DDS Advantages

CoreDX DDS supports multiple development languages and environments: Languages: C, C++, C#, and Java. Operating Systems: Linux, Windows, Solaris,

QNX, VxWorks, NexusWare, LynxOS, Android. Hardware Architectures: x86 (32 & 64 bit),

UltraSPARC, ARMv5, ARVMv7, PPC, MIPS, Microblaze, FPGAs.

Transports: IP, VME, cPCI, Serial, and Xbee.
