Summary
The ACS bulk data transfer library is the Common Software part that provides the software infrastructure that allows to transfer data between two o more ALMA subsystems. This is based on a commercial implementation of the DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard of publisher/subscriber pattern. The purpose of this project is to investigate ZeroMQ library as an alternative messaging system to transfer data in a similar publisher/subscriber 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 implementation of BulkData
