Hi Jake,

thanks for your reaction. That is a really useful comparison. And I can see that Apache commons SCXML isn't doing that bad, though the scale is of course logarithmic.

Unfortunately the benchmarking didn't test our use case: we need to fire up many instances of the same (relatively simple) scxml model, and if instantiating is relatively expensive, that might change the picture completely.

I'll look into uscxml and do some speed testing on that.

best, Rinke

Hi,

I thought you might be interested in Stefan Radomski's work on profiling different SCXML implementations:

https://github.com/tklab-tud/uscxml/blob/master/docs/BENCHMARKS.md

This indicates that the uscxml implementation is pretty fast. It is written in C++, so you would need to write additional code around it to get it to work within the context of your Java programming environment, but this might be faster than trying to improve the performance of Apache Commons SCXML by an order of magnitude.

I hope this helps. Thanks,

Jake

Hi List,

We are working at the ErasmusMC hospital at Rotterdam, Netherlands, on scientific simulations on the spread of infectious diseases through human populations.
In this project we use Apache Commons SCXML to model diseases.

However, the problem with the present implementation is that it is too slow for us. We would need a version that is optimized for being instantiated 1000000 times in a running simulation.

For the coming 2 or 3 months we have money available to pay someone who could create an adapted, descaled version of apache commons scxml. The goal is to make it much faster, either by optimizing, rewriting, and dispose of elements not needed for us.

Our preference would be to find someone who has developed for the commons scxml project, or who is at least an experienced user.

In case of anyone interested please reply via this list and we can get into contact about the details.

best regards,

Rinke Hoekstra
