Frameworks are great but shouldn't you roll your own at least once?

Date/Time: Day 3/13:30

Speaker: Chris Roebuck, Chief Technology Officer at Konrad Technologies UK

“Actor Framework, DQMH, Aloha and others have taken the LabVIEW community by storm but have their productivity benefits made you lazy? Do you know how and why they work, why their various design decisions were made and even more importantly when to use them and what their limitations are?

In this presentation, we will consider several of the most popular community frameworks and ask the questions:

“Do you know how they work and should you?”

“Do you know why the core design decisions were made and should you?” and

“Are you missing out on valuable learnings by not rolling your own at least once?”.

We will look at issues such as reference ownership and lifetime management, reentrancy, extensibility, developer experience and the semantics of intra / inter-process communications.

We will consider some of the anatomies of these frameworks and their semantics, for example, the essential pairing of Start Module and Wait on module synchronisation in DQMH and why we need to wait for the module to start in order to “own its events”.

As somebody who has deep knowledge of DQMH, Simple Actor Models and Message Brokers I will be asking if it’s ok to simply use a framework blindly or if you should have tried to create such a thing yourself to understand their benefits and importantly, when not to use them!”

Demonstrations

Solutions for PCB Test and Manufacturing: LEON and ABex

In the GDevCon TechCave, we’re exhibiting the new generation of test systems from Konrad Technologies: the LEONBench and LEONInline. The systems extend our test solution portfolio with manual and automated test systems for ICT, FCT, ISP, boundary-scan and end-of-line applications.

In addition, the ABex (Analog Bus Extension for PXI) is featured. The platform has a flexible system architecture with an analog bus backplane and terminal modules. The platform allows for integration of technology specific extensions with extremely short system set up time - resulting in a reduction of total system cost.
