Hi Phil,

thanks for explanations. I am thinking to use JacORB since I have some experience with it. As an option I am considering the EPICS.

Regards,
Kujtim

That can be addressed through tuning. Next there is threading. JacORB is heavily threaded, with thread pools being used to process requests by servants, and also for I/O, waiting for messages. I/O resources are conserved by JacORB by making no more than 1 connection at a time between specific client and server ORBs. This means that multi-threaded clients will suffer queueing if 2 or more threads wish to send concurrent requests to the same server. Response handling is multiplexed, so if the requests are reasonably small, this queuing isn't too bad.

Obviously, it is real timed i.e. I need to estimate the time spent for request/response besides the time to execute the task (but this is not related to JacORB). Initially, I plan to deploy the system in dedicated private network so there are no additional delays in the network. Do you need an extra information?

For example, do you have some particular use case you are interested in? Perhaps a certain feature set? Or maybe you are targeting some platform and need assistance?
