A production-grade real-time compute graph execution engine for robotics applications in Rust.

Nodix is a DAG-based system where nodes are computational units (sensors, filters, ML models) and edges represent typed data flow. It's designed for robotics applications requiring deterministic, low-latency execution.

• Type-safe connections: Compile-time and runtime type checking for port connections
• Zero-copy data sharing: Arc-based data structures for efficient large data handling
• Multiple execution modes:
  • Single-threaded executor for deterministic execution
  • Parallel executor with thread pool for throughput
  • Real-time scheduler with multiple policies (FIFO, EDF, Rate Monotonic)
• Observability:
  • HDR histogram-based latency metrics (p50, p95, p99)
  • Chrome Tracing format export for visualization
  • Graphviz DOT export for graph visualization
• Dynamic graph modification: Hot-swap nodes, add/remove nodes at runtime
• Backpressure handling: Multiple strategies (Block, DropOldest, DropNewest, Adaptive)
