opensynaptic 1.0.0rc4

2-N-2 high-performance protocol stack

OpenSynaptic

2-N-2 high-performance IoT protocol stack — standardises sensor readings into UCUM units, compresses them via Base62 encoding, wraps them in a binary packet, and dispatches over pluggable transporters (TCP / UDP / UART / LoRa / MQTT / CAN).

Try In 30 Seconds

Install

pip install -e .

Minimal Usage

from opensynaptic.core import OpenSynaptic

node = OpenSynaptic()                        # reads Config.json automatically
node.ensure_id("192.168.1.100", 8080)        # request device ID from server
packet, aid, strategy = node.transmit(sensors=[["V1", "OK", 3.14, "Pa"]])
node.dispatch(packet, medium="UDP")

from opensynaptic.core import get_core_manager

manager = get_core_manager()
print(manager.available_cores())             # e.g. ['pycore', 'rscore']
manager.set_active_core('pycore')
OpenSynaptic = manager.get_symbol('OpenSynaptic')

v0.2.0 Performance Focus

This release line emphasizes practical performance tuning and backend acceleration:

• Multi-process stress controls: --processes, --threads-per-process, --batch-size
• Auto-tuning profile scan: --auto-profile with --profile-processes, --profile-threads, --profile-batches
• RS core workflow: rscore-build, rscore-check, core --set rscore --persist
• Backend comparison flow: plugin-test --suite compare

Detailed release note -> docs/releases/v0.2.0.md

Optimized Usage Examples

# High-throughput multi-process stress
python -u src/main.py plugin-test --suite stress --total 20000 --workers 16 --processes 4 --threads-per-process 4 --batch-size 64

# Auto-profile best concurrency matrix
python -u src/main.py plugin-test --suite stress --auto-profile --profile-total 50000 --profile-runs 1 --final-runs 1 --profile-processes 1,2,4,8 --profile-threads 4,8,16 --profile-batches 32,64,128

# Build/check/switch to RS core
python -u src/main.py rscore-build
python -u src/main.py rscore-check
python -u src/main.py core --set rscore --persist

# Compare pycore vs rscore performance
python -u src/main.py plugin-test --suite compare --total 10000 --workers 8 --processes 2 --threads-per-process 4 --runs 2 --warmup 1

---

RS Core (rscore) Quick Start

Use this flow to build, verify, and switch to the Rust core backend.

# 1) Build RS core shared library
python -u src/main.py rscore-build

# 2) Verify runtime status (DLL path/load state, active core)
python -u src/main.py rscore-check

# 3) Switch backend for current process + persist in Config.json
python -u src/main.py core --set rscore --persist

# 4) Optional: enforce RS path in stress tests
python -u src/main.py plugin-test --suite stress --total 5000 --workers 8 --processes 2 --require-rust

If you need to keep Python backend, switch back with:

python -u src/main.py core --set pycore --persist

Plugin Config Auto-Sync

Built-in plugin settings are stored in Config.json at:

RESOURCES.service_plugins.<plugin_name>

These entries are auto-created with defaults if missing; plugins remain manual-start and do not auto-run at process startup.
