Unlocking Linux Shared Memory: The Ultra-Fast Channel for Inter-Process Communication

1. Overview of Shared Memory Technology Shared Memory is one of the fastest inter-process communication (IPC) methods in Linux systems, allowing multiple processes to access the same physical memory area, thus avoiding the performance overhead of data copying between processes. Compared to other IPC mechanisms such as pipes and message queues, shared memory has the … Read more
