Sean Ewington is the Content Manager for CodeProject.

His background in programming is primarily C++ and HTML, but has experience in other, "unsavoury" languages.

He loves movies, and likes to say inconceivable often, even if it does not mean what he thinks it means.
Founder CodeProject
Canada Canada
I started photo-etching circuit boards when I was 8, and at 11 was haunting the halls and computer science labs at the local university so much that I was invited by Professor Wayne Ayott to audit his software and hardware design courses.

Over my career I have used C# , C++, Win32, MFC, Assembler, Basic, and Clipper, on applications for the military, commercial ventures, medical research and the labour movement. Through my medical informatics work I came to know what real-time and mission-critical really mean… just try being part of the critical path when a woman goes into labor.

I have been honoured to receive many business, industry and leadership awards including being named an Exceptional Young Entrepreneur (Profit Magazine) and to the list of Who's Who in Canadian Business. The companies I started have been recognized as the Fastest Growing companies in Canada (Profit Magazine), as the Fastest Growing North American Technology Companies (Deloitte & Touché) and named as a Top 100 Innovator and Leader by SDTimes 6 years in a row. I serve on the boards of the Ontario Center for Innovation, and Umbra a leading international home goods company.

Here's my professional profile on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcunningham

In 2007 Microsoft acquired the technology assets, IP and development team of my company Dundas Software and rolled it into SQL Server. After the Microsoft deal we recapitalized Dundas and grew it again into Dundas Data Visualization a leading Embedded BI company which was acquired by insightsoftware in 2022.

I live in Toronto and enjoy photography, scuba, food, and motorcycle riding.
Founder CodeProject
Canada Canada
Chris Maunder is the co-founder of CodeProject and ContentLab.com, and has been a prominent figure in the software development community for nearly 30 years. Hailing from Australia, Chris has a background in Mathematics, Astrophysics, Environmental Engineering and Defence Research. His programming endeavours span everything from FORTRAN on Super Computers, C++/MFC on Windows, through to to high-load .NET web applications and Python AI applications on everything from macOS to a Raspberry Pi. Chris is a full-stack developer who is as comfortable with SQL as he is with CSS.

In the late 1990s, he and his business partner David Cunningham recognized the need for a platform that would facilitate knowledge-sharing among developers, leading to the establishment of CodeProject.com in 1999. Chris's expertise in programming and his passion for fostering a collaborative environment have played a pivotal role in the success of CodeProject.com. Over the years, the website has grown into a vibrant community where programmers worldwide can connect, exchange ideas, and find solutions to coding challenges. Chris is a prolific contributor to the developer community through his articles and tutorials, and his latest passion project, CodeProject.AI.

In addition to his work with CodeProject.com, Chris co-founded ContentLab and DeveloperMedia, two projects focussed on helping companies make their Software Projects a success. Chris's roles included Product Development, Content Creation, Client Satisfaction and Systems Automation.

GeneralTrying to Speed up CodeProject.AI Server with SignalR Pin
Matthew Dennis28-Oct-22 4:45
sysadminMatthew Dennis28-Oct-22 4:45 
Recently for CodeProject.AI Server we were looking to increase the number of frames per second we can handle (throughput) as well as figure out how to be able to analyze frames from a video stream on the backend.

Here's the flow of how CodeProject.AI Server works. Someone writes an application that calls CodeProject.AI Server with a request for data that gets put into a queue for the backend module. The backend module requests data from the queue, gets it, figures out what it supposed to do with it, processes it, and then it sends the response back, which gets sent back to the original caller.



See Adding new modules to CodeProject.AI - CodeProject.AI Server v1.6.5 for more details on the system architecture.

So, what we're doing is looking at the part between the frontend and the backend module, trying to reduce the communication time there.

To help do this we looked at SignalR, Microsoft's library which can establish a permanent or semi-permanent connection. The nice thing about SignalR is that it's got all the infrastructure built in for handling reconnects, doing remote procedure calls, and streaming data.

We hunted around for an existing Python package to handle SignalR for Python using asynchronous calls. Unfortunately, there wasn't much. There was one Python package, signalr-async, that looked promising, but it required Python 3.8 or higher. Currently CodeProject.AI Server is running Python 3.8 for Linux, and Python 3.7 for Windows for some modules.

Ultimately, we ended up pulling the code from that Python package and getting it to work on Python 3.7 and 3.8.

We had some trouble getting it to work properly, so we wrote a little .NET client (because it's easier to debug and understand), which helped us realize we were using the Python package incorrectly.

In our Python code, we're running multiple tasks. And it turns out that each of those tasks needed a separate SignalR connection, as opposed to sharing that connection across all the tasks.

Once we made that change things were working, but it was slower than the existing http request/response method we currently use.

So, we went back to the aiohttp Python package documentation. It turns out we’re already doing the best we can in terms of communication speed between the frontend and the backend module. This is because the session object maintains a pool of connections for reuse, eliminating most of the overhead of making a request.

But that's how it goes. Not all experiments are successful, but the result is important. It tells us where our limits are and helps us move on to doing things better and faster.

We're still going to be looking at getting streaming working in the most efficient manner so we can process video streams at a higher rate. It appears aiohttp can handle streams in addition to standard request/response communication, but more on that later.
