Data Distribution Service in Linux Kernel Module Navy SBIR FY2005.3 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2005.3 Topic No.: N05-139 Topic Title: Data Distribution Service in Linux Kernel Module Proposal No.: N053-139-0421 Firm: Real-Time Innovations 3975 Freedom Circle, 6th Floor Santa Clara, California 95054 Contact: J. Pence Phone: (301) 725-1700 Web Site: http://www.rti.com Abstract: Real-Time Innovations (RTI) proposes to develop an implementation of the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) for Real-Time Systems that runs in Linux Kernel space. This implementation will be based upon NDDS 4.0, a DDS product uniquely suited to fit into an OS Kernel space. The modular architecture of NDDS allows significant performance improvement possibilities, which are discussed in detail in this proposal. Far beyond the usual expectations for a Phase I SBIR, we intend to have completed work produced by this effort rolled into our standard product at the end of the Phase I Option. This Phase I effort will culminate in a high-quality proof-of-concept design, testable code, and quantifiable performance results. Much development work will remain to optimize and fully test our solution during Phase II, but we are confident of our ambitious approach. Benefits: For our sponsor, this SBIR will result in increased performance of DDS within in mission-critical applications such as E-2C Hawkeye. We expect much of this work to also be included in our standard product offering, ensuring it is high-quality, well-maintained, well-documented and relevant to the entire community of DDS and Linux users.
