ROS 2 Agnocast
A ROS 2-Compatible Middleware Enabling True Zero-Copy IPC for all ROS Message Types including Unsized Ones.
This middleware is based on the following paper and the corresponding prototype. The paper has been accepted to IEEE ISORC 2025, but only the preprint version (pdf) is available at this stage.

Agnocast is currently available in the following environments. This reflects the current status, and support is expected to expand in the future.
| Category | Supported Versions / Notes |
|---|---|
| ROS 2 | Humble (only with rclcpp client library) |
| Linux Distribution | Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) |
| Linux Kernel | 5.x / 6.x series (detailed version matrix not yet available) |
Build
Setup.
bash scripts/setup
Build.
colcon build --symlink-install --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
Run
Insert kernel module.
sudo modprobe agnocast
Run sample app (different window for each script). The order does not matter.
bash scripts/run_listener
bash scripts/run_talker
Stop applications and unload kernel module.
sudo modprobe -r agnocast
Debug
Check the kernel log.
sudo dmesg -w
To use dynamic_debug for dynamically outputting debug logs, please run the following command as super user:
sudo su
echo 'file agnocast_main.c +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
Check if dynamic_debug is enabled by running the following command. If the right side of the = is p, it is enabled. (If it’s _, it is disabled.)
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control | grep "agnocast_main.c"
/.../agnocast/agnocast_kmod/agnocast_main.c:810 [agnocast]release_msgs_to_meet_depth =p "Release oldest message in the publisher_queue (publisher_pid=%d) of the topic (topic_name=%s) with qos_depth %d. (release_msgs_to_meet_depth)\012"

To use dynamic_debug, the Linux kernel configuration must have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG set to y.
If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is not enabled in your environment, perform a debug build with:
make CFLAGS_agnocast.o="-DDEBUG"

ROS 2 Agnocast
A ROS 2-Compatible Middleware Enabling True Zero-Copy IPC for all ROS Message Types including Unsized Ones.
This middleware is based on the following paper and the corresponding prototype. The paper has been accepted to IEEE ISORC 2025, but only the preprint version (pdf) is available at this stage.
- T. Ishikawa-Aso and S. Kato, “ROS 2 Agnocast: Supporting Unsized Message Types for True Zero-Copy Publish/Subscribe IPC”, arXiv preprint arXiv:2506.16882, 2025.

Agnocast is currently available in the following environments. This reflects the current status, and support is expected to expand in the future.
| Category | Supported Versions / Notes |
|---|---|
| ROS 2 | Humble (only with rclcpp client library) |
| Linux Distribution | Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) |
| Linux Kernel | 5.x / 6.x series (detailed version matrix not yet available) |
Build
Setup.
bash scripts/setup
Build.
colcon build --symlink-install --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
Run
Insert kernel module.
sudo modprobe agnocast
Run sample app (different window for each script). The order does not matter.
bash scripts/run_listener
bash scripts/run_talker
Stop applications and unload kernel module.
sudo modprobe -r agnocast
Debug
Check the kernel log.
sudo dmesg -w
To use dynamic_debug for dynamically outputting debug logs, please run the following command as super user:
sudo su
echo 'file agnocast_main.c +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
Check if dynamic_debug is enabled by running the following command. If the right side of the = is p, it is enabled. (If it’s _, it is disabled.)
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control | grep "agnocast_main.c"
/.../agnocast/agnocast_kmod/agnocast_main.c:810 [agnocast]release_msgs_to_meet_depth =p "Release oldest message in the publisher_queue (publisher_pid=%d) of the topic (topic_name=%s) with qos_depth %d. (release_msgs_to_meet_depth)\012"
/.../agnocast/agnocast_kmod/agnocast_main.c:367 [agnocast]insert_message_entry =p "Insert an entry (topic_name=%s publisher_pid=%d msg_virtual_address=%lld timestamp=%lld). (insert_message_entry)"
To use dynamic_debug, the Linux kernel configuration must have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG set to y.
If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is not enabled in your environment, perform a debug build with:
make CFLAGS_agnocast.o="-DDEBUG"
