Summary
The ACS bulk data transfer library is part of the Common Software part library that provides the software infrastructure that that allows to data transfer data between two o more ALMA subsystemsACS Components. This is based on in a commercial implementation of the DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard of publisher/subscriber of publish-subscribe pattern. The purpose of this project is to investigate ZeroMQ library as an alternative messaging system to transfer data between ALMA subsystems in a similar publisher/subscriber the publish-subscribe pattern.
Objective
- Analyze the existing code in UTFSM ACSflix Prototype
- Evaluate the performance of ZeroMQ and this implementation
- Make a draft implementation of the BulkData/BulkDataNT library using ZeroMQ
- Needs to be consistent with ACS IDLs and APIs
Schedule
- Week1: Analyze current implementation of BulkData of ACS BulkData transfer
- Functioning of states: start, send, and stop data transfers
- Week2: Deploy a ACS test environment to measure performance of bulk data transfer
- Week2: Perform assessment of ACSflix prototype
- Week3: Implement prototype of BulkDataSender
