OpenSplice DDS v6 is a major leap forward with respect to the state of the art of DDS implementations; v6 is the first DDS implementation on the market to introduce (1) multiple deployment options, namely daemon-based and library-based, and (2) multiple programming paradigms, such as Pub/Sub, Distributed Object Caches and Client/Server, (3) universal connectivity to over 80 communication technologies via the new OpenSplice Gateway. All of this combined with an Open Source model, an active community and a strong technology ecosystem.

OpenSplice v6 has a very simple goal:
☐ Making it easier to build, test, integrate, and deploy
high-performance, scalable, and fault-tolerant
OpenSplice DDS
distributed systems
☐ v6 makes this the art of the possible with the
introduction of several ground breaking innovations

☐ OpenSplice v6 Commercial Edition is available under both Open
Source (LGPLv3) and PrismTech Commercial Licenses. Our ongoing
commitment to Open Source gives you complete security of supply
and straightforward pricing; featuring no-cost deployment licenses
OpenSplice DDS
for Core LGPLv3 functionality
Open Standards Compliant
☐ OpenSplice DDS is the strictest implementation of the DDS OMG
Open Standard guaranteeing portability and interoperability across
competing DDS implementations. The DDS standard is safe in our
hands - our people invented DDS and are leading the way in its
future evolution.

☐ Unique configurable Federated or Standalone deployment options
allow you to match performance, scalability and fault tolerance
characteristics to evolving system needs; reducing both initial and
lifetime development costs
OpenSplice DDS
Multiple Paradigms
☐ OpenSplice v6 delivers the right solution to the right problem
through an expanding range of ‘interaction patterns’ including:
Publish/Subscribe, Distributed Object Caches and Remote Method
Invocation (RMI)

☐ One of the first customers to benefit from
OpenSplice DDS v6 has been the US Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) who have been using it for
a major upgrade to the control system at the
OpenSplice DDS
massive Grand Coulee Hydroelectric Dam
project
☐ Grand Coulee is the largest power plant in North
America, fifth largest in the world, with a total
generating capacity of 6,809 megawatts via four
different power houses containing 33
hydroelectric generators

13. The US Army Core Of Engineers on v6
Quote from PrismTech’s PR
“Around two years ago we selected DDS as the real-time publish/subscribe messaging middleware
for the dam upgrade program, convinced that it was the right technology for our needs.
Copyright

PrismTech
–
All
Rights
Reserved.
OpenSplice DDS met all our rigorous performance and acceptance criteria. We went with the
library based version of OpenSplice DDS v6 because of our need for an application solution that is
simple to deploy. The Grand Coulee Hydroelectric Dam project uses about 150 computers which
makes ease of deployment very important to us.
OpenSplice DDS
Although we do not currently use the shared memory deployment model in our architecture we are
encouraged in knowing that OpenSplice DDS v6 provides a stable, uniquely switchable shared
memory option should we desire to change our architecture characteristics.”
“To sum up: PrismTech provided us with a toolkit product – not consulting; their people listened,
understood our unique application needs and supplied us with a DDS product solution that enabled
us to deliver a state-of-the-art distributed control system.”
Dave Brown, Chief Architect Generic Data Acquisition and Control System (GDACS)
US Army Hydroelectric Design Center
