gzDistribution
Advanced tools
GizmoDistribution is a software development kit used for creating distributed software systems in C++. It makes it possible to distribute data between threads, processes, workstations and networks to enable applications and systems to share data in real-time.
GizmoDistribution implements a data-centric publish/subscribe design pattern that decouples publishers from subscribers. It distributes events and objects states rather than providing a general purpose remote procedure call (RPC) based mechanism.
GizmoDistribution is one of the components of the GizmoSDK. GizmoSDK is a cross-platform software development kit for C++ based applications.
This is a beta release of GizmoDistribution. It has been verified on Win32, Linux and MacOS X.
It is not possible to run more than one process on MacOS X hosts when using UDP broadcast transport.
It is not possible to bind to the localhost interface (127.0.0.1) when using the UDP multicast or UDP broadcast transports on Linux and MacOS X.
Linux and MacOS X has limits on the size of socket buffers. Therefore the default size of the transports are also set lower for these platforms (64 kByte).
