The Internet of Things has the potential to change the
world, just as the Internet did. Maybe even more so.
 Nearly 50 petabytes of data are captured and created
by human beings
 People have limited time, attention and accuracy
 Capturing data about things in the real world in real time
 Track and count everything, reduce waste, loss & cost.
 Know when things need replacing, repairing or recalling
— Kevin Ashton, 'That 'Internet of Things' Thing', RFID Journal,
2009
Internet of Things (IoT)
 There will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of
Things by 2020.
[Gartner]
 More than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly
connected to the Internet of Things by 2020
[ABI Research]
 It's expected to be a 19 Trillion USD market
[John Chambers, Cisco CEO]
IoT Perspectives
"Basket of remotes" problem – we'll have hundreds of
applications to interface with hundreds of devices that
don't share protocols for speaking with one another
[Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple initial team, and BeOS co-founder]
Only IPv6 addresses are not enough – IoT devices
should be also easily and directly accessible for users
and [their] agents
In read/write mode
Preferably using a standard web browser
Even behind firewalls

Tracking Complexity
15
We need tools to cope with all that complexity inherent in
robotics and IoT domains.
Simple solutions are needed – cope with problems through
divide and concur on different levels of abstraction:
Domain Driven Design (DDD) – back to basics:
domain objects, data and logic.
Described by Eric Evans in his book:
Domain Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of
Software, 2004
Common Sense: DDD
16
Actually DDD require additional efforts (as most other
divide and concur modeling approaches :)
 Ubiquitous language and Bounded Contexts
 DDD Application Layers:
Infrastructure, Domain, Application, Presentation
 Hexagonal architecture :
OUTSIDE <-> transformer <-> ( application <-> domain )
[A. Cockburn]
Common Sense: DDD
17
Main concepts:
 Entities, value objects and modules
 Aggregates and Aggregate Roots [Haywood]:
value < entity < aggregate < module < BC
 Repositories, Factories and Services:
application services <-> domain services
 Separating interface from implementation
Imperative and Reactive
18
We live in a Connected Universe
... there is hypothesis that all
the things in the Universe are
intimately connected, and you
can not change a bit without
changing all.
Action – Reaction principle is
the essence of how Universe
behaves.
Imperative and Reactive
 Reactive Programming: using static or dynamic data
flows and propagation of change
Example: a := b + c
 Functional Programming: evaluation of mathematical
functions,
➢ Avoids changing-state and mutable data, declarative
programming
➢ Side effects free => much easier to understand and
predict the program behavior.
Example: books.stream().filter(book -> book.getYear() > 2010)
.forEach( System.out::println )
Functional Reactive (FRP)
20
According to Connal Elliot's (ground-breaking paper @
Conference on Functional Programming, 1997), FRP is:
(a) Denotative
(b) Temporally continuous
Reactive Manifesto

 Reactive Streams Specification
[http://www.reactive-streams.org/] used by
 (Spring) Project Reactor
[http://projectreactor.io/]
Reactive Streams Spec.
23
 Reactive Streams – provides standard for
asynchronous stream processing with non-blocking
back pressure.
 Minimal set of interfaces, methods and protocols for
asynchronous data streams
 April 30, 2015: has been released version 1.0.0 of
Reactive Streams for the JVM (Java API,
Specification, TCK and implementation examples)
 Java 9: java.util.concurrent.Flow
Reactive Streams Spec.
24
 Publisher – provider of potentially unbounded number
of sequenced elements, according to Subscriber(s)
demand.
Publisher.subscribe(Subscriber) => onSubscribe onNext*
(onError | onComplete)?
 Subscriber – calls Subscription.request(long) to
receive notifications
 Subscription – one-to-one Subscriber ↔ Publisher,
request data and cancel demand (allow cleanup).
 Processor = Subscriber + Publisher
FRP = Async Data Streams
25
 FRP is asynchronous data-flow programming using the
building blocks of functional programming (e.g. map,
reduce, filter) and explicitly modeling time
 Used for GUIs, robotics, and music. Example (RxJava):
Observable.from(new String[]{"Reactive",
"Extensions", "Java"})
.take(2).map(s -> s + " : on " + new Date())
.subscribe(s -> System.out.println(s));
Result:
Reactive : on Wed Jun 17 21:54:02 GMT+02:00 2015
Extensions : on Wed Jun 17 21:54:02 GMT+02:00 2015
26
 Performance is about 2 things (Martin Thompson –
http://www.infoq.com/articles/low-latency-vp ):
– Throughput – units per second, and
– Latency – response time
 Real-time – time constraint from input to response
regardless of system load.
 Hard real-time system if this constraint is not honored then
a total system failure can occur.
 Soft real-time system – low latency response with little
deviation in response time
 100 nano-seconds to 100 milli-seconds. [Peter Lawrey]
What About High Performance?
27
 Mechanical Sympathy – hardware (CPU, cache, memory,
IO, Network), operating system, language implementation
platform (e.g. JVM), and application level code are working
in harmony to minimize the time needed for event (request,
message) processing => 10% / 90% principle
 Throughput vs. latency – bus vs. car traveling
 Throughput ~ System Capacity / Latency
 Achieving low latency may mean additional work done
by system => lowered System Capacity and Throughput
 Horizontal scalability is valuable for high throughput. For
low latency, you need simplicity – critical path.
Throughput vs. Latency
28
 JVMs can be faster than custom C++ code because of the
holistic optimizations that they can apply across an application
[Andy Piper].
 Developers can take advantage of hardware guarantees through
a detailed understanding of:
– Java Memory Model & mapping to underlying hardware
– low latency software system hardware (CPU, cache, memory,
IO, Network)
– avoiding lock-contention and garbage collection
– Compre-And-Swap – CAS (java.util.concurrent.atomic)
– lock-free, wait-free techniques – using standard libraries (e.g.
the LMAX Disruptor)

30
 Low garbage by reusing existing objects + infrequent GC
when application not busy – can improve app 2 - 5x
 JVM generational GC startegy – ideal for objects living very
shortly (garbage collected next minor sweep) or be immortal
 Non-blocking, lockless coding or CAS
 Critical data structures – direct memory access using
DirectByteBuffers or Unsafe => predictable memory layout
and cache misses avoidance
 Busy waiting – giving the CPU to OS kernel slows program
2-5x => avoid context switches
 Amortize the effect of expensive IO - blocking
Low Latency: Things to Remember
31
 Parallel tasks can increase your throughput by increasing
system capacity – it is GOOD!
 But comes together with concurrent access to shared
resources => you have to provide mutual exclusion (MutEx)
by parallel threads when changing the resources' state (read
only access can be shared by multiple threads)
 Mutual exclusion can be achieved in several ways:
– synchronized – hardwired in HotSpot JVM, optimized in J^6
– ReentrantLock, ReadWriteLock, StampedLock →
java.util.concurrent.locks.*
– Optimistic Locking → tryLock(), CAS
Parallelism & Concurrency
32
Simple problem: incrementing a long value 500 000 000 times.
9 implementations:
‒ SynchronousCounter – while (counter++ < 500000000){}
‒ SingleThreadSynchronizedCounter – 1T using synchronized
‒ TwoThreadsSynchronizedCounter – 2T using synchronized
‒ SingleThreadCASCounter – 1T using AtomicLong
‒ TwoThreadsCASCounter – 2T using AtomicLong
‒ TwoThreadsCASCounterLongAdder – 1T using LongAdder
‒ SingleThreadVolatileCounter – 1T, memory barrier (volatile)
‒ TwoThreadsVolatileCounter – 2T, memory barrier (volatile)
Comparing Concurrent Impl.
33
Test results (on my laptop - quad core Intel i7@2.2GHz):
− SynchronousCounter – 190ms
− SingleThreadSynchronizedCounter – 15000 ms
− TwoThreadsSynchronizedCounter – 21000 ms
− SingleThreadCASCounter – 4100 ms
− TwoThreadsCASCounter – 12000 ms
− TwoThreadsCASCounterLongAdder – 12800 ms
− SingleThreadVolatileCounter – 4100 ms
− TwoThreadsVolatileCounter – 20000 ms
Comparing Concurrent Impl.
34
For more complete micro-benchmarking of
different Mutex implementations see:

readwritelocks-and-synchronized/
http://www.slideshare.net/haimyadid/java-8-
stamped-lock
Comparing Concurrent Impl.
35
 Non-blocking (synchronous) implementation is 2 orders of
magnitude better then synchronized
 We should try to avoid blocking and especially contended
blocking if want to achieve low latency
 If blocking is a must we have to prefer CAS and optimistic
concurrency over blocking (but have in mind it always
depends on concurrent problem at hand and how much
contention do we experience – test early, test often,
microbenchmarks are unreliable and highly platform dependent
– test real application with typical load patterns)
 The real question is: HOW is is possible to build concurrency
without blocking?
Mutex Comparison => Conclusions
36
 Message Driven – asynchronous message-passing allows
to establish a boundary between components that ensures
loose coupling, isolation, location transparency, and
provides the means to delegate errors as messages
[Reactive Manifesto].
 The main idea is to separate concurrent producer and
consumer workers by using message queues.
 Message queues can be unbounded or bounded (limited
max number of messages)
 Unbounded message queues can present memory
allocation problem in case the producers outrun the
consumers for a long period → OutOfMemoryError
Scalable, Massively Concurrent
37
 Queues typically use either linked-lists or arrays for the
underlying storage of elements. Linked lists are not
„mechanically sympathetic” – there is no predictable
caching “stride” (should be less than 2048 bytes in each
direction).
 Bounded queues often experience write contention on
head, tail, and size variables. Even if head and tail
separated using CAS, they usually are in the same cache-
line.
 Queues produce much garbage.
 Typical queues conflate a number of different concerns –
producer and consumer synchronization and data storage
Queues Disadvantages
[http://lmax-exchange.github.com/disruptor/files/Disruptor-1.0.pdf]
38
 LMAX Disruptor design pattern separates different
concerns in a “mechanically sympathetic” way:
- Storage of items being exchanged
- Producer coordination – claiming the next sequence
- Consumers coordination – notified new item is available
 Single Writer principle is employed when writing data in
the Ring Buffer from single producer thread only (no
contention),
 When multiple producers → CAS
 Memory pre-allocated – predictable stride, no garbage

Takeaways: Why Go Reactive?
77
Benefits using Reactive Programming + DDD:
 DDD helps to manage complexity in IoT and Robotics -
many subsystems = sub-domains
 Reactive Streams (Fluxes, Monos) = uni-directional data
flows, CQRS, event sourcing, microservices
 Reactive Streams can be non-blocking and highly
efficient, or can utilize blocking if needed
 Naturally implement state management patterns like
Redux, allow time travel, replay and data analytics
 Clear, declarative data transforms that scale (Map-
Reduce, BigData, PaaS)
Takeaways: Why Maybe Not?
78
Cons using Reactive Programming + DDD:
 DDD requires additional efforts to clearly separate
different (sub) domains – DSL translators, factories...
 Reactive Streams utilize functional composition and
require entirely different mindset then imperative – feels
like learning foreign language
 Pure functions and Redux provide much benefits,
but there's always temptation to “do it the old way” :)
 Tool support for functional programming in Java is still
not perfect (in Eclipse at least :)

  • 11. The Internet of Things has the potential to change the world, just as the Internet did. Maybe even more so.  Nearly 50 petabytes of data are captured and created by human beings  People have limited time, attention and accuracy  Capturing data about things in the real world in real time  Track and count everything, reduce waste, loss & cost.  Know when things need replacing, repairing or recalling — Kevin Ashton, 'That 'Internet of Things' Thing', RFID Journal, 2009 Internet of Things (IoT)
  • 12.  There will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of Things by 2020. [Gartner]  More than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of Things by 2020 [ABI Research]  It's expected to be a 19 Trillion USD market [John Chambers, Cisco CEO] IoT Perspectives
  • 13. "Basket of remotes" problem – we'll have hundreds of applications to interface with hundreds of devices that don't share protocols for speaking with one another [Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple initial team, and BeOS co-founder] Only IPv6 addresses are not enough – IoT devices should be also easily and directly accessible for users and [their] agents In read/write mode Preferably using a standard web browser Even behind firewalls IoT - Need for Standards

  • 15. Tracking Complexity 15 We need tools to cope with all that complexity inherent in robotics and IoT domains. Simple solutions are needed – cope with problems through divide and concur on different levels of abstraction: Domain Driven Design (DDD) – back to basics: domain objects, data and logic. Described by Eric Evans in his book: Domain Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software, 2004
  • 16. Common Sense: DDD 16 Actually DDD require additional efforts (as most other divide and concur modeling approaches :)  Ubiquitous language and Bounded Contexts  DDD Application Layers: Infrastructure, Domain, Application, Presentation  Hexagonal architecture : OUTSIDE <-> transformer <-> ( application <-> domain ) [A. Cockburn]
  • 17. Common Sense: DDD 17 Main concepts:  Entities, value objects and modules  Aggregates and Aggregate Roots [Haywood]: value < entity < aggregate < module < BC  Repositories, Factories and Services: application services <-> domain services  Separating interface from implementation
  • 18. Imperative and Reactive 18 We live in a Connected Universe ... there is hypothesis that all the things in the Universe are intimately connected, and you can not change a bit without changing all. Action – Reaction principle is the essence of how Universe behaves.
  • 19. Imperative and Reactive  Reactive Programming: using static or dynamic data flows and propagation of change Example: a := b + c  Functional Programming: evaluation of mathematical functions, ➢ Avoids changing-state and mutable data, declarative programming ➢ Side effects free => much easier to understand and predict the program behavior. Example: books.stream().filter(book -> book.getYear() > 2010) .forEach( System.out::println )
  • 20. Functional Reactive (FRP) 20 According to Connal Elliot's (ground-breaking paper @ Conference on Functional Programming, 1997), FRP is: (a) Denotative (b) Temporally continuous
  • 22. Reactive Programming 22  Microsoft® opens source polyglot project ReactiveX (Reactive Extensions) [http://reactivex.io]: Rx = Observables + LINQ + Schedulers :) Java: RxJava, JavaScript: RxJS, C#: Rx.NET, Scala: RxScala, Clojure: RxClojure, C++: RxCpp, Ruby: Rx.rb, Python: RxPY, Groovy: RxGroovy, JRuby: RxJRuby, Kotlin: RxKotlin ...  Reactive Streams Specification [http://www.reactive-streams.org/] used by  (Spring) Project Reactor [http://projectreactor.io/]
  • 23. Reactive Streams Spec. 23  Reactive Streams – provides standard for asynchronous stream processing with non-blocking back pressure.  Minimal set of interfaces, methods and protocols for asynchronous data streams  April 30, 2015: has been released version 1.0.0 of Reactive Streams for the JVM (Java API, Specification, TCK and implementation examples)  Java 9: java.util.concurrent.Flow
  • 24. Reactive Streams Spec. 24  Publisher – provider of potentially unbounded number of sequenced elements, according to Subscriber(s) demand. Publisher.subscribe(Subscriber) => onSubscribe onNext* (onError | onComplete)?  Subscriber – calls Subscription.request(long) to receive notifications  Subscription – one-to-one Subscriber ↔ Publisher, request data and cancel demand (allow cleanup).  Processor = Subscriber + Publisher
  • 25. FRP = Async Data Streams 25  FRP is asynchronous data-flow programming using the building blocks of functional programming (e.g. map, reduce, filter) and explicitly modeling time  Used for GUIs, robotics, and music. Example (RxJava): Observable.from(new String[]{"Reactive", "Extensions", "Java"}) .take(2).map(s -> s + " : on " + new Date()) .subscribe(s -> System.out.println(s)); Result: Reactive : on Wed Jun 17 21:54:02 GMT+02:00 2015 Extensions : on Wed Jun 17 21:54:02 GMT+02:00 2015
  • 26. 26  Performance is about 2 things (Martin Thompson – http://www.infoq.com/articles/low-latency-vp ): – Throughput – units per second, and – Latency – response time  Real-time – time constraint from input to response regardless of system load.  Hard real-time system if this constraint is not honored then a total system failure can occur.  Soft real-time system – low latency response with little deviation in response time  100 nano-seconds to 100 milli-seconds. [Peter Lawrey] What About High Performance?
  • 27. 27  Mechanical Sympathy – hardware (CPU, cache, memory, IO, Network), operating system, language implementation platform (e.g. JVM), and application level code are working in harmony to minimize the time needed for event (request, message) processing => 10% / 90% principle  Throughput vs. latency – bus vs. car traveling  Throughput ~ System Capacity / Latency  Achieving low latency may mean additional work done by system => lowered System Capacity and Throughput  Horizontal scalability is valuable for high throughput. For low latency, you need simplicity – critical path. Throughput vs. Latency
  • 28. 28  JVMs can be faster than custom C++ code because of the holistic optimizations that they can apply across an application [Andy Piper].  Developers can take advantage of hardware guarantees through a detailed understanding of: – Java Memory Model & mapping to underlying hardware – low latency software system hardware (CPU, cache, memory, IO, Network) – avoiding lock-contention and garbage collection – Compre-And-Swap – CAS (java.util.concurrent.atomic) – lock-free, wait-free techniques – using standard libraries (e.g. the LMAX Disruptor) High Performance Java
  • 29. 29 CPU Cache – False Sharing Core 2 Core NCore 1 ... Registers Execution Units L1 Cache A | | B | L2 Cache A | | B | L3 Cache A | | B | DRAM Memory A | | B | Registers Execution Units L1 Cache A | | B | L2 Cache A | | B |
  • 30. 30  Low garbage by reusing existing objects + infrequent GC when application not busy – can improve app 2 - 5x  JVM generational GC startegy – ideal for objects living very shortly (garbage collected next minor sweep) or be immortal  Non-blocking, lockless coding or CAS  Critical data structures – direct memory access using DirectByteBuffers or Unsafe => predictable memory layout and cache misses avoidance  Busy waiting – giving the CPU to OS kernel slows program 2-5x => avoid context switches  Amortize the effect of expensive IO - blocking Low Latency: Things to Remember
  • 31. 31  Parallel tasks can increase your throughput by increasing system capacity – it is GOOD!  But comes together with concurrent access to shared resources => you have to provide mutual exclusion (MutEx) by parallel threads when changing the resources' state (read only access can be shared by multiple threads)  Mutual exclusion can be achieved in several ways: – synchronized – hardwired in HotSpot JVM, optimized in J^6 – ReentrantLock, ReadWriteLock, StampedLock → java.util.concurrent.locks.* – Optimistic Locking → tryLock(), CAS Parallelism & Concurrency
  • 32. 32 Simple problem: incrementing a long value 500 000 000 times. 9 implementations: ‒ SynchronousCounter – while (counter++ < 500000000){} ‒ SingleThreadSynchronizedCounter – 1T using synchronized ‒ TwoThreadsSynchronizedCounter – 2T using synchronized ‒ SingleThreadCASCounter – 1T using AtomicLong ‒ TwoThreadsCASCounter – 2T using AtomicLong ‒ TwoThreadsCASCounterLongAdder – 1T using LongAdder ‒ SingleThreadVolatileCounter – 1T, memory barrier (volatile) ‒ TwoThreadsVolatileCounter – 2T, memory barrier (volatile) Comparing Concurrent Impl.
  • 33. 33 Test results (on my laptop - quad core Intel [email protected]): − SynchronousCounter – 190ms − SingleThreadSynchronizedCounter – 15000 ms − TwoThreadsSynchronizedCounter – 21000 ms − SingleThreadCASCounter – 4100 ms − TwoThreadsCASCounter – 12000 ms − TwoThreadsCASCounterLongAdder – 12800 ms − SingleThreadVolatileCounter – 4100 ms − TwoThreadsVolatileCounter – 20000 ms Comparing Concurrent Impl.
  • 34. 34 For more complete micro-benchmarking of different Mutex implementations see: http://blog.takipi.com/java-8-stampedlocks-vs- readwritelocks-and-synchronized/ http://www.slideshare.net/haimyadid/java-8- stamped-lock Comparing Concurrent Impl.
  • 35. 35  Non-blocking (synchronous) implementation is 2 orders of magnitude better then synchronized  We should try to avoid blocking and especially contended blocking if want to achieve low latency  If blocking is a must we have to prefer CAS and optimistic concurrency over blocking (but have in mind it always depends on concurrent problem at hand and how much contention do we experience – test early, test often, microbenchmarks are unreliable and highly platform dependent – test real application with typical load patterns)  The real question is: HOW is is possible to build concurrency without blocking? Mutex Comparison => Conclusions
  • 36. 36  Message Driven – asynchronous message-passing allows to establish a boundary between components that ensures loose coupling, isolation, location transparency, and provides the means to delegate errors as messages [Reactive Manifesto].  The main idea is to separate concurrent producer and consumer workers by using message queues.  Message queues can be unbounded or bounded (limited max number of messages)  Unbounded message queues can present memory allocation problem in case the producers outrun the consumers for a long period → OutOfMemoryError Scalable, Massively Concurrent
  • 37. 37  Queues typically use either linked-lists or arrays for the underlying storage of elements. Linked lists are not „mechanically sympathetic” – there is no predictable caching “stride” (should be less than 2048 bytes in each direction).  Bounded queues often experience write contention on head, tail, and size variables. Even if head and tail separated using CAS, they usually are in the same cache- line.  Queues produce much garbage.  Typical queues conflate a number of different concerns – producer and consumer synchronization and data storage Queues Disadvantages [http://lmax-exchange.github.com/disruptor/files/Disruptor-1.0.pdf]
  • 38. 38  LMAX Disruptor design pattern separates different concerns in a “mechanically sympathetic” way: - Storage of items being exchanged - Producer coordination – claiming the next sequence - Consumers coordination – notified new item is available  Single Writer principle is employed when writing data in the Ring Buffer from single producer thread only (no contention),  When multiple producers → CAS  Memory pre-allocated – predictable stride, no garbage LMAX Disruptor (RingBuffer) [http://lmax-exchange.github.com/disruptor/files/Disruptor-1.0.pdf]

  • 41. Project Reactor 41  Reactor project allows building high-performance (low latency high throughput) non-blocking asynchronous applications on JVM.  Reactor is designed to be extraordinarily fast and can sustain throughput rates on order of 10's of millions of operations per second.  Reactor has powerful API for declaring data transformations and functional composition.  Makes use of the concept of Mechanical Sympathy built on top of Disruptor / RingBuffer.
  • 42. Project Reactor 42  Pre-allocation at startup-time  Message-passing structures are bounded  Using Reactive and Event-Driven Architecture patterns => non-blocking end-to-end flows, replies  Implement Reactive Streams Specification – efficient bounded structures requesting no more than capacity  Applies above features to IPC and provides non- blocking IO drivers that are flow-control aware  Expose a Functional API – organize their code in a side-effect free way, which helps you determine you are thread-safe and fault-tolerant

  • 77. Takeaways: Why Go Reactive? 77 Benefits using Reactive Programming + DDD:  DDD helps to manage complexity in IoT and Robotics - many subsystems = sub-domains  Reactive Streams (Fluxes, Monos) = uni-directional data flows, CQRS, event sourcing, microservices  Reactive Streams can be non-blocking and highly efficient, or can utilize blocking if needed  Naturally implement state management patterns like Redux, allow time travel, replay and data analytics  Clear, declarative data transforms that scale (Map- Reduce, BigData, PaaS)
  • 78. Takeaways: Why Maybe Not? 78 Cons using Reactive Programming + DDD:  DDD requires additional efforts to clearly separate different (sub) domains – DSL translators, factories...  Reactive Streams utilize functional composition and require entirely different mindset then imperative – feels like learning foreign language  Pure functions and Redux provide much benefits, but there's always temptation to “do it the old way” :)  Tool support for functional programming in Java is still not perfect (in Eclipse at least :)
