Current Version

• Version 3.2.3 released September 2008. The first complete version was released in December 2001.

Certifications

• Certified by DMSO (US Defense Modeling and Simulation Office). Certified according to the HLA IEEE 1516-2000 standard with Interpretations 2.
• Certified by Microsoft for Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server compliance.

Licensing

• Each pRTI™ license allows for a specified number of simultaneous federates (5, 10, 15, etc). The Java API is included at no extra cost. Additional functionality available as add-ons: C++ API for Windows, Linux, Sun. C++ for other platforms—contact us

Graphical User Interface (local and remote)

• Global displays: licensing, technical environment, settings, event log, update checking.
• Federation displays: FOM tree and handles, object instances, time graph, synchronization points, network links and network statistics.
• Federate displays: Type and timing information, publications and subscriptions, discovered objects, tracing settings.

Debugging Support

• Graphical user interface. Command line interface. Tracing to console or file of calls between the federate and the RTI

Supported Execution Environments

• Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 ,Vista, Red Hat Linux 8.0, 9.0, RedHat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5 Sun Solaris 8, 9. Support for 64 bit processor and OS available. Support for background process on Windows and Linux.
• Contact us for additional environments

Resource Requirements

• Typically 20 Mbyte RAM and <5% of the CPU.

Supported Development Environments

• MS Visual C++ 6.0c, MS Visual C++ 7.1 (MS Visual Studio . NET), MS Visual C++ 8.0 (MS Visual Studio 2005), MS Visual C++ 9.0 (MS Visual Studio 2008). Linux gcc 3.2.2, 3.4, 4.0, 4.1. Sun Studio 9 and Forte 6 update 2. Sun Java JDK 1.4.x and higher.

Performance

• Typical latency on LAN: 120 µs (Gigabit Ethernet), 250 µs (Fast»Ethernet).
• Typical update rate: up to 110 000 updates/s on Windows XP 3.6 GHz
• Computers (for 100 byte data).

Fault Tolerance

• Fault tolerant of unstable federates. Heart-beat and broken link detection. Automatic resign of crashed federates.

Communication Modes

• Reliable: TCP/IP, shared memory
• Best-effort: UDP/IP unicast, UDP/IP multicast, shared memory
• Default configuration: “firewall friendly”. NAT Traversal available. Support for multiple network cards.
• Sender-side filtering of communications for minimized CPU load and network traffic based on DDM and declaration management.

Tuning Algorithms

• Bundling, smoothing, best-effort update rate reduction, reliable update rate reduction, ageing of older updates.

Wide Area Network Support

• Runs on Pitch Booster™  for transparent WAN Supportacross firewalls and unreliable long distance links.
• Several Pitch pRTIs can co-exist across the same Pitch Booster™ network.
• Discovery of remote federates and RTI Execs using Pitch Booster™.
• See the Pitch Booster™ broshure for details.
