Christian Wulf1. Introduction
TeeTime is a Pipe-and-Filter (P&F) Framework, currently available for Java (see below) and C++ (see on Github).
It provides support for the modeling and the execution of P&F architectures. In particular, it features...
-
many primitive and composite ready-to-use stages
-
a type-safety way to develop and connect stages
-
no(!) single-threaded overhead
-
only a minimal multi-threaded overhead
-
threads can be assigned to stages arbitrarily
-
automatic thread assignment**
-
enhanced software patterns**
-
and many more...
2. Build from Source
To build TeeTime, you need an existing Maven installation and at least the JDK 1.7.
After downloading TeeTime, simply execute mvn install -DskipTests and you are good to go! If you just want to build it, use mvn jar:jar.
3. Using the Framework
The following articles explain how to use the framework.
You will learn step by step how to write your own architectures and how to extend it.
- Implementing your own P&F architecture
- How to terminate a running P&F architecture
- Ready-to-use Stages
- Writing your own Stage
- Writing a Unit Test for a Stage
- Exploit Parallelism*
- How to handle Exceptions*
- Provided Patterns*/**
* Advanced features (for advanced users)
** In development
