Two macOS timeout primitives treated an absolute deadline as a relative countdown, silently turning bounded waits into infinite hangs under contention — the root cause of intermittent 30-second teardown stalls. Now fixed and soak-validated.
We have today released the final version of the Psyclone platform, now officially out of Beta. Please visit the download page and grab either the source code or the binary release. Work will continue on Psyclone beyond the end of the project and we will keep this page updated with new versions.
Psyclone and its CMSDK core now build, run, and pass the full test suite as a first-class citizen on Apple Silicon and Intel macOS — joining Linux and Windows. The entire distributed pub/sub platform, from shared-memory messaging to the PsyProbe web monitor, is now developed and validated natively on Mac hardware.
A ground-up CMSDK test framework: one PASS/FAIL line per object, per-test process isolation with timeouts (a crash in one test can’t take down the suite), self-healing shared-memory cleanup, and timestamped performance JSON with %-deltas for automated regression detection. 33 tests, all passing.
The SSL build now links OpenSSL 3 and ships a network_https unit test that performs a real TLS handshake and encrypted HTTP round-trips over loopback with a runtime-generated certificate — with a clear certificate-verification hardening path on the roadmap.
Later this year we plan to release version 2.0 of the Psyclone platform. It is a complete rewrite of Psyclone 1.5 with all the old features intact and with massive performance improvements, merging of discrete and streaming data messaging, introduction of drumbeat signals for simulations and a completely new web interface, PsyProbe 2.0. You can…
A rigorous single-node latency benchmark of Psyclone AIOS against NATS, ROS 2, iceoryx, eCAL and ZeroMQ – competitive default speed, the tightest tails measured, and the runtime-reconfiguration capabilities that set it apart.
