explosive cpu usage using share memory transport [13717]

[happykkkkai]

hi.
I try to test dds inter-process communication using share memory transport, which is bidirectional, that is say each process has one publisher to publish data to another process and one subscriber to receive data. Usually the cpu loading is about 20% for one process. However, when i kill one process manually, the cpu loading of another process maybe explosive increase to about 100%.

The system i used is [Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6226R CPU @ 2.90GHz for 64 cores] and the os is [Linux version 5.11.0-41-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-005) (gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu120.04) 9.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.34) #4520.04.1-Ubuntu SMP].

I try to use perf to locator the hot spot of cpu loading, and the most one is the thread for DDS share memory listening, as showed follow:

how to disable shm transport？

[JLBuenoLopez]

You can find the answer in Fast DDS documentation. You must disable the builtin_transports and enable an alternative transport (the link leads to the UDPv4 transport, but you may enable any transport you are interested in).
