Apollo ROS 介绍

Why optimize ROS

• Sensor data is mass.Sensor data transportion latency will be a problem,when through-output is not enough,which will result in extremely danger while driving. Such as:
  • camera data : ~ 5MB/s per camera
  • LIDAR data ：~ 20 MB/s per LIDAR
• centralize communication mechanism
• none real-time OS
  

1. 通信系统优化

1. copy consumption

• class ROS ： 4 times copy

  • 用户态 --> 内核态 --> 用户态 --> node间IPC copy ——> deserialize copy

• Apollo ROS ： 2 times copy

  • 减少了用户态 --> 内核态 --> 用户态的两次copy
    

decentralized communication network

create node and communication init
