You must explicitly state which callbacks are mutually exclusive. Signed-off-by: Alexis Paques paa1ti@bosch.com Closes #2029 This ensures the number of threads of a Multi-threaded executor is at least 2 unless defined explicitly as 1 (why not use the SingleThreadedExecutor?) Sign in Currently, i'm trying to support composed bringup for Nav2 stack, and i have done some works about manually composed bringup (Compile-time composition) of Nav2, which performs better than Normal bringup , in addition, i find a problem that a large multi-threaded executor consumes higher cpu(increase 30%-50%) than a bunch of single-threaded executors , you can find some details here: https://discourse.ros.org/t/nav2-composition/22175. // Group was not found, meaning the subscription is not valid // Remove it from the ready list and continue looking, // Group is mutually exclusive and is being used, so skip it for now, // Leave it to be checked next time, but continue searching, // Otherwise it is safe to set and return the any_exec, // Else, the subscription is no longer valid, remove it and continue, // This is the case where a copy of the serialized message is taken from. My fault. The wait set mechanism reports only very little information about these queues to the Executor. In the above example, the one thread of a Static Single-Threaded Executor is used to serve three nodes together. Yes, you can select this contain like any others, use dedicated executor for component nodes. pycharmuiexternal toolsPYUICPYUICuipy For tips on how to use callback groups efficiently, see Using Callback Groups. I'm working on project Reduce ROS2 Nodes and Determinism of OSPP2021 (under the mentor of Steve Macenski). here is the code. @gezp here is what i got on my local environment. Define custom messages in python package (ROS2). By configuring the underlying threads using the operating system scheduler, specific callbacks can be prioritized over other callbacks. Therefore, the Static Single-Threaded Executor should be used only with nodes that create all subscriptions, timers, etc. CHANGELOG Changelog for package examples_rclcpp_multithreaded_executor 0.15.1 (2022-11-07) 0.15.0 (2022-03-01) callback funcs1.callback_group2.node3.singleThreaded, I think that having option dedicated executor makes sense for now.

ROS2 rclcpp_multithreaded_executor example rate issue ros2 multi-threaded MultiThreadedExecutor create_wall_timer asked Feb 12 '21 piri 1 1 2 1 Hello, I'm trying to use and understand something more about ROS2 multi-thread executor, how it works and now it must properly used. Thank you for pointing it. // we should ignore this copy of the message. In detail, it only reports whether there are any messages for a certain topic or not. sorry for answering questions with question, https://discourse.ros.org/t/nav2-composition/22175 start navigation is result based on the same workload in the same time window with the same number of threads? I think essentially wed just make the container a templated class based on executor type so we could instantiate new ones based on T. That would future proof these changes for any potentially new executor types (like static single threaded which currently doesnt have a container for use). privacy statement. If I compile that code as it is, everything works well, and the topic publish rate is about 2Hz as expected. We'd like to be able to have this N-single threaded container option available to us so we can do dynamic composed bring up in Nav2 rather than having to manually compose them in a process. In the following, we focus on the C++ Client Library rclcpp. That's not very flexible and configurable and afterall Nav2 is a framework rather than a standalone solution, do dynamically loading is more in line of what we need. if i am missing anything, please let me know! ROS 2 allows organizing the callbacks of a node in groups. In the simplest case, the main thread is used for processing the incoming messages and events of a Node by calling rclcpp::spin(..) as follows: The call to spin(node) basically expands to an instantiation and invocation of the Single-Threaded Executor, which is the simplest Executor: By invoking spin() of the Executor instance, the current thread starts querying the rcl and middleware layers for incoming messages and other events and calls the corresponding callback functions until the node shuts down. This will allow for the current behavior as well as the option to load each into their own executor thread, which is precisely what we're doing in manual composition (as well as some companies we spoke to that gave us that idea). An Executor uses one or more threads of the underlying operating system to invoke the callbacks of subscriptions, timers, service servers, action servers, etc. Here is a summary of some of these issues: Complex and mixed scheduling semantics. I thought those two callback funcs would be executed at the same time, but in fact, one of them would not be executed until 10 seconds after the other started. If I try to modify the period in the create_wall_timer methods from 500ms to 50ms I got a variable frequency of the topic in a range between 10 to 17Hz. of 31st ECRTS 2019, Stuttgart, Germany, July 2019. Already on GitHub? I tried to specify 2 and the example seems to publish at a constant rate of 20Hz. Is this feature supported through launch file? If a parameter, for instance dedicated_thread is set to true, when a new component is added, it is added to its own executor instead of a single one for all components. if the result is something like above, i do not see the difference in performance. A wait set is used to inform the Executor about available messages on the middleware layer, with one binary flag per queue. 3.main In order not to counteract the QoS settings of the middleware, an incoming message is not stored in a queue on the Client Library layer but kept in the middleware until it is taken for processing by a callback function. How to transfer callback groups between nodes? You're reading the documentation for an older, but still supported, version of ROS 2. i make a simple package to test. (for MultiThreadedExecutor and Multiple SingleThreadedExecutor). rclcpp::executorssingle threadSingleThreadedExecutor add_nodespin :multi_main.cpp multi_main.cpp during initialization. It performs this scan only once when the node is added, while the other two executors regularly scan for such changes. I believe you need to create callback groups in order to leverage the MultiThreadedExecutor. #include https://discourse.ros.org/t/nav2-composition/22175, Support a bunch of SingleThreadedExecutor with dedicated thread for each component nodes, https://github.com/gezp/navigation2/blob/49bfd34c985a2a0928a87d91cd01cc28fba44038/nav2_composition/src/main.cpp#L81-L89, https://github.com/gezp/ros2_topic_performance, https://github.com/gezp/rclcpp/commit/3d48c0aacdc62c1ab688d1147679157ad578927f, support dedicated executor for component nodes, On the loading of component nodes, use that value to either create a new executor to add the node to or add it to the single main executor, On unloading of component nodes, if the parameter is true, we will remove that node from the executor and delete it along with the component, the thread num of multi-threaded-executor equals to the num of nodes, in this case, thread num = 2. i create a publisher and subscriber on a topic with message geometry_msgs::msg::PolygonStamped (the num of points is: 10000, publishing rate is 100hz) for three cases, and get result here: you could reproduce similar result by running python scripts/test_use_dedicated_executors.py in this package. to your account. The examples_rclcpp_wait_set package provides several examples for the use of this user-level wait set mechanism. I also confirmed that all messages from publisher are received on subscription. If I don't specify the number of threads is it able to understand the number of callback group and timer autonomously? Companies I spoke with expressed interest in this as well, as they are currently manually composing their systems because they cannot dynamically compose them to use N-single threaded executors that they need. In that ticket, we bring up analysis showing that N-single threaded executors are far more computationally efficient than a single N-multithreaded executor. #include from pic import Ui_MainWindow Please start posting anonymously - your entry will be published after you log in or create a new account.

Reentrant: Callbacks of this group may be executed in parallel. check setuptools version by running pip3 list | findstr setuptools if output is setuptools 58.2.0 then go to 3rd step otherwise follow through 2nd step we need to downgrade the setuptools to 58.2.0 by running this pip3 install setuptools==58.2.0 after this follow the blogpost here https://blog.csdn.net/tanmx219/article/details/126211384. In rclcpp, such a callback group can be created by the create_callback_group function of the Node class. I'm testing rclcpp::executors::MultiThreadedExecutor. The Multi-Threaded Executor uses its threads as a pool to process a many callbacks as possible in parallel according to these conditions. The Executor uses this information to process the messages (including services and actions) in a round-robin fashion - but not in FIFO order. (Note: The paper also explains that timer events are prioritized over all other messages. Package Description Package containing example of how to implement a multithreaded executor Additional Links No additional links. Callbacks of different callback groups may always be executed in parallel. No built-in control over triggering for specific topics. on incoming messages and events. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: This should be a parameterized option with the defaults for the current behavior of a single single-threaded executor. instead of using an Executor. But in your link there is only one node. rclcpp/executors/cbg_executor/README.md examples_rclcpp_cbg_executor The examples_rclcpp_cbg_executor package provides a demo and test bench for the Callback-group-level Executor concept. (This is a crucial difference to ROS 1.) composition with a multi-threaded-executor (thread num=2) consumes higher cpu than normal standalone case, which seems like a bit strange. This issue has been mentioned on ROS Discourse. btw, https://github.com/gezp/ros2_topic_performance needs to be updated as below to build.

Usage #include "rclcpp/rclcpp.hpp" allows use of the most common elements of the ROS 2 system. The Static Single-Threaded Executor reduces this overhead greatly but it might be not enough for some applications. - for example by the subscription options: All subscriptions, timers, etc. Since Galactic, the interface of the Executor base class in rclcpp has been refined by a new function add_callback_group(..). #include ROS Industrial Conference. from examples packages. Virtual event. There is something that I miss from the example, or something that must be modified if when I change the timer rate? Have a question about this project? There are two types of callback groups, where the type has to be specified at instantiation time: Mutually exclusive: Callbacks of this group must not be executed in parallel. I wrote two Subscription in a node, and at each callback function sleep for 10 seconds. The Multi-Threaded Executor uses its threads as a pool to process a many callbacks as possible in parallel according to these conditions. (something like #1708?). So I tried to change again the rate at 5ms, and again I got a variable topic rate; once I specified 1 as the thread argument number everything run well again. // This is the case where a loaned message is taken from the middleware via. Add a parameter, such as dedicated_thread for the container to load the components into a single executor if false and into individual dedicated executor threads if true. We could of course create our own container to use locally, but this has clear reuse as people want to compose their systems into a single process. (personally i would like to figure out and improve MultiThreadedExecutor in the future.) @ivanpauno @wjwwood @clalancette any opinion?

Furthermore, it implements ideas of the Logical Execution Time (LET) semantics. ROS2Publisher-Subscriber executorspinexecutorexecutoradd_nodeAnyExecutable. Ideally you want well defined scheduling semantics to perform a formal timing analysis. Currently, rclcpp provides three Executor types, derived from a shared parent class: The Multi-Threaded Executor creates a configurable number of threads to allow for processing multiple messages or events in parallel. In case of a Multi-Threaded Executor, the actual parallelism depends on the callback groups. Now I'm trying to reproduce and modify this example. rclcpp provides the standard C++ API for interacting with ROS 2. I only see one node in the question with two callbacks. Ralph Lange: Advanced Execution Management with ROS 2. Now I'm trying to reproduce and modify this example and by Node.default_callback_group in rclpy. In rclpy, the same is done by calling the constructor of the specific callback group type. as a class member), or otherwise the executor wont be able to trigger the callbacks. I wrote two Subscription in a node, and at each callback function sleep for 10 seconds. I'm testing rclcpp::executors::MultiThreadedExecutor. The callback group must be stored throughout execution of the node (eg. from PyQt5.QtCore import * rclc Executor: This Executor from the C Client Library rclc developed for micro-ROS gives the user fine-grained control over the execution order of callbacks and allows for custom trigger conditions to activate callbacks.

We do not suggest any changes to the multi-threaded executor container, nor are we suggesting to merge them into a single component manager, that would be feature creep and it makes sense for those to be separate executables. The Static Single-Threaded Executor optimizes the runtime costs for scanning the structure of a node in terms of subscriptions, timers, service servers, action servers, etc. could you make PR, so that we can start review. Please disregard those parts of this requested change, Zhengpeng is thinking a little bigger than I think this problem warrants. ros2executors . import, foxyThat means replace the with .galactic. rclcpp This repository contains the source code for the ROS Client Library for C++ package, included with a standard install of any ROS 2 distro. However, if the processing time of some callbacks is longer, messages and events will be queued on the lower layers of the stack. , 1.Qt designer 19 October 2021. Maintainers Shane Loretz Aditya Pande Authors Jacob Hassold README No README found. for Run-time composition , i notice that rclcpp_components only provides component_container which use SingleThreadedExecutor for all component nodes in container and component_container_mt which use MultiThreadedExecutor. in other word, create a SingleThreadedExecutor with dedicated thread for each component nodes. rclcpp::executors::singlethreadedexecutor executor2; auto node2 = rclcpp::node::make_shared("node2"); executor2.add_node(node2); // spin the executor in a separate 16 December 2020. It can be used to implement deterministic, user-defined processing sequences, possibly processing multiple messages from different subscriptions together. and composition with multiple single-threaded-executor performs better than normal standalone case. Virtual event. If the processing time of the callbacks is shorter than the period with which messages and events occur, the Executor basically processes them in FIFO order.

See repository README. So I think the best answer is not either-or, but both! Additionally, the executor overhead in terms of CPU and memory usage is considerable. I wouldnt argue with a better multithreaded executor as an alternative, but whats elegant about the changes requested is that they would impact both single and multi threaded executor containers to offer an executor per component behavior for complex systems needing that behavior for single and/or multi threaded node needs. // create a node and an executor. Define custom messages in python package (ROS2). This concept was developed in 2018 and has been integrated in ROS 2 mainline in 2020, i.e., is available from ROS 2 Galactic on. .

No explicit control over the callbacks execution order. The explicit Executor class (in executor.hpp in rclcpp, in executors.py in rclpy, or in executor.h in rclc) provides more control over execution management than the spin mechanism in ROS 1, although the basic API is very similar. // the middleware via inter-process communication. You signed in with another tab or window. at ECRTS 2019. Execution management in ROS 2 is explicated by the concept of Executors. The following flow diagram visualizes this scheduling semantics. Higher priority callbacks may be blocked by lower priority callbacks. I saw that it's possible to specify the number of thread required as argument for the constructor. While the three Executors of rclcpp work well for most applications there are some issues that make them not suitable for real-time applications, which require well-defined execution times, determinism, and custom control over the execution order. I don't think this is clear that that is the objective best solution, but it is a useful option to make available based on the needs and discussions in https://discourse.ros.org/t/nav2-composition/22175. This prioritization was removed in Eloquent.). after all, i think MultiThreadedExecutor is not performative compared to Multiple SingleThreadedExecutor in this case.
