Powerful User Interface Pitch pRTI™

Pitch pRTI™ features a powerful user interface that you can access locally or over the network using a Web browser. Extensive security mechanisms are of course provided.

Insights into Your Federation

Inspect your federation and troubleshoot any problem. FOM, declarations, object discovery, time management, network statistics, debugging settings – all this information and more is available at the click of a mouse. 

Excellent Performance

Pitch pRTI™  can transmit more than 100000 updatesper second between ordinary Windows computers.

GIG, SOA and Web Services

The next version of the HLA standard: IEEE-1516-2008 is also known as HLAEvolved brings WebServices support for GIG integration. The upcoming Pitch pRTI™version 4.0 supports this. All PitchpRTI™1516 users will get this version, including technology previews, as part of their maintenance.

Pitch pRTI 1.3 and pRTI 1516 Performance

Pitch's portable Runtime Infrastructure offers excellent performance. This page gives a few samples of performance achieved on standard computers. More performance figures as well as tools will be available in the upcoming "Performance Labs" section of our web site.

About these measurements

The performance measurements were made with the "RTIperf" tool. The following hardware and software were used

• Hardware: Compaq EVO W4000 workstations with 2 GHz Intel Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM

• Networking: 3Com Gigabit Server Network Card, 3Com Gigabit Network Switch

• Software: Windows 2000 Server SP 4, BEA JRockit JVM (version 8.1), pRTI 1.3 v2.2 and pRTI 1516 v2.3

About the RTI perf measurements

The current version (0.6) of RTIperf that was used measures latency by sending an interaction with payload data from one computer to another. The receiving computer returns the data. The roundtrip time is divided by two to get an estimate of the latency. Several roundtrips (usually 1000) are made and the average is calculated.

For throughput and update count a number of interactions (usually around 1000) with payload data is sent from one computer to another. When the final interaction is acknowledged statistics are calculated about what data rate was actually received.
