Interprocess Communications
Notes
- 3.4
- Processes might want to communicate
- To share information
- To speed up computations - but I think this is a subset of the first
- To promote modularity - we will look at threads in the next
- There are several IPC or InterProcess Communicacations mechanisms
- Shared Memory
- Message Passing
- These are messy
- So it has taken a while to get them "right"
- And they might be somewhat complex.
