Libxseg
Overview
Libxseg is a shared memory communication library. It is designed to provide fast inter-process communication between distinct processes. It is based on shared memory areas (segments) that each process (peer) can map on its own address space. It lays down endpoints (ports), messages (requests), and buffers over the shared segment. It also specifies an API to interact with the segment and pass messages between peers.
Its primary use is to support Archipelago's modular architecture and provide low-latency message passing between different Archipelago peers.
