Available implementations

We make two implementations available:

  • C Fast Implementation: this is a fast implementation of our original Linear PLA method (a simple best-fit line calculation accelarated by maintaing convex-hulls) combined with the Single Stream Protocol to output segments and singletons in a streaming fashion. The program runs completely in a streaming fashion and can without modification or add-ons read data received from eg a network socket. The method and output protocol are the ones used in [1,2] and have been shown to offer the best trade-offs compression ratio / accuracy / latency as shown in [3,4]. Expected processing rate is above 1M datapoints per second. All parameters are fixed and the code provides only a simple basic interface. Only logical timestamps are suported.
  • Python Implementation: this is a complete implementation of all methods (Angular, Linear and Convex-Hull) and streaming protocols presented in [3,4]. The code is meant to be flexible and versatile but not CPU-efficient. The program(s) offer a comprehensive interface to explore many variations of the methods' parameters, streaming output protocols, etc. The program can work with either a timestamp channel or logical timestamps and computes average delay to reconstruct multidimmensional input tuples.
