abstract = {{Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Collider-Accelerator Department houses over 550 Front-End Computers (FECs) of varying specifications and resource requirements. These FECs provide operations-critical functions to the complex, and uptime is a concern among the most resource constrained units. Asynchronous data delivery is widely used by applications to provide live feedback of current conditions but contributes significantly towards resource exhaustion of FECs. To provide a balance of performance and efficiency, the Reflective system has been developed to support unrestricted use of asynchronous data delivery with even the most resource constrained FECs in the complex. The Reflective system provides components which work in unison to offload responsibilities typically handled by core controls infrastructure to hosts with the resources necessary to handle heavier workloads. The Reflective system aims to be a drop-in component of the controls system, requiring few modifications and remaining completely transparent to users and applications alike. }},
