SystemTechniques · 13Primitives · 35 digital-twin Clock synchronizationdistributed · medium: Estimate a clock's offset from four timestamps, filter out queueing noise, and steer the clock smoothly; NTP gets about a millisecond, PTP with hardware timestamps under a microsecond.›Discrete event simulationnumerics · medium: Simulation driven by a time-ordered event queue with deterministic, reproducible replayFmi co simulationnumerics · medium: Couple simulation units (FMUs) with a master algorithm: step negotiation, rollback, algebraic loopsModel predictive controlrobotics · medium: Each tick, solve a small optimization over a predicted horizon, apply only the first input, repeat. Handles constraints and multiple inputs that a PID loop cannot.›System identificationrobotics · medium: Fit dynamic models (ARX, state space) from measured input and output dataTime-series anomaly detectionstatistics · medium: Predict the expected value from a seasonal baseline, scale the residual by a robust spread (MAD), threshold at a chosen false-alarm rate, then merge flags into incidents.›LSM-treestorage · medium: Buffer writes in memory, flush them as immutable sorted files and merge in the background; turns random writes into sequential I/O.›PID controllerrobotics · low: Drive a measured value to a setpoint with three terms on the error: proportional, integral, derivative. The default feedback loop for motors, heaters, drones and gimbals.›Stiff solvers (implicit, BDF)numerics · low: Implicit steps solve a small nonlinear system so fast decaying modes stay stable at any step size; BDF methods are the stiff-ODE workhorse.›Kalman filterrobotics · low: Optimal recursive estimator for a linear system with Gaussian noise: fuses a motion model with noisy measurements into a state estimate plus its covariance.›Delta encodingcompression · low: Store differences between consecutive values instead of the values, turning sorted IDs, timestamps and counters into small numbers that pack into few bits.›Gorilla XOR compressioncompression · low: Time-series codec: delta-of-delta timestamps plus XOR of consecutive float bit patterns, storing only changed bits; about 1.4 bytes per point.›Opc uaembedded · low: OPC UA industrial protocol: address space, subscriptions and monitored items, security modesMqtt protocolnetworking · low: MQTT pub/sub: topics, QoS 0/1/2, retained messages, sessions and keepalivePhase-locked loop (digital)signal-processing · low: Feedback loop that locks a local oscillator to the phase and frequency of an input tone; the core of carrier recovery, clock recovery and GNSS tracking.›Robust statisticsstatistics · low: Location and scale estimates (median, MAD, trimmed mean, Huber M-estimator) that stay correct when a minority of the data is garbage.›d-ary heapdata-structures · low: Array heap with d children per node (d = 4 typical): half the binary heap's depth, siblings in one cache line, faster priority queues.›PRNGs (PCG, xoshiro)numerics · low: Small, fast, statistically strong non-cryptographic generators: PCG32 and xoshiro256**, with seeding, parallel streams and unbiased ranges.›Calling conventions abicompilers · low: System V, Windows x64 and AAPCS64 ABIs: argument registers, stack frames, struct passing, FFIAdaptive Runge-Kutta (Dormand-Princ…numerics · low: An embedded 5(4) Runge-Kutta pair estimates each step's error for free and resizes the step to meet a tolerance; the default non-stiff solver.›Spline interpolationnumerics · low: Linear, bilinear/trilinear and cubic spline interpolation on grids and tablesFixed-rate control loopembedded · low: Run a controller at an exact period using absolute deadlines and a fixed dt, so jitter never accumulates and the math stays valid.›Runge-Kutta 4numerics · low: The classic four-stage, fourth-order ODE step; error drops 16× when the step halves, with no derivatives or past steps needed.›+ 6 more techniques+ 19 more primitives
