Introduction

Welcome to the vysmaw wiki!

Here you can find descriptions of the inner workings of the vys system, by which a visibility stream is made available to applications; the vysmaw library, providing access to that visibility stream for applications; and vysmaw usage at the VLA.

Design goals

vys

• Minimize effects on performance of the vys producers
• Introduce no opportunity for vys consumers to affect robustness of vys producers
• No dependency of vys producer configuration and functionality on any active or inactive vys consumers

vysmaw

• High throughput
• Low latency
• Independence of application processes, on shared as well as distinct nodes
• Minimize real-time constraints in applications
