Re: [mosquitto-dev] Mosquitto on Parallella.

Andrew,

Out of curiosity, what would you hope to offload to the other cores?  How do they communicate? Would you be looking for Mosquitto/MQTT to be a pub/sub solution between the cores, or as a gateway to send messages off chip to a server?

Hi Andrew,

I really wanted to do some reading around parallela before replying - that's not happened though. I can say for certain that they look like very neat boards. Definitely the kind of thing you itch to have but without necessarily having a plan of what to use it for.

At the moment the mosquitto broker is entirely single threaded, so it's perhaps difficult to see the advantage for the broker on its own, but you could run other application level or support software on the same board... Not very exciting perhaps.

Looking at threading for the broker is something it would be good to do - perhaps for 2.0 though. I dare say using that many cores effectively would be quite a challenge.

Hello,

Firstly, by way of an introduction, I'm community manager for the
Parallella project [1].

Earlier this year at FOSDEM I met with Mike Millinkovich and we
briefly discussed the idea of running mosquitto on the Parallella
computer. Since then a demo was put together [2], but just making use
of the ARM host and not Parallella's 16-core floating-point
accelerator.

So, I wondered if anyone might be able to comment on whether mosquitto
and Parallella could be a good match, using the Epiphany chip to
offload certain operations. The hope being that given the
Parallella/Epiphany architecture [3] and that mosquitto brokers many
small messages, the combination of the two may be able to yield some
interesting performance figures.

Thoughts?

Regards,

Andrew
