Flow-IPC: Open-source toolkit for low-latency inter-process communication in C++


We recently released Flow-IPC, an interprocess communication toolkit in C++ to drastically reduce latency. Learn how this works, view the code, and try it out.

Native C++ structure support: Many algorithms require work directly on C++ struct s, most often ones involving multiple levels of STL containers and/or pointers. Without Flow-IPC, replicating this setup for end-to-end zero-copy performance would involve a significant amount of difficult code, including management of SHM segments whose names and cleanup would have to be coordinated between the two applications. The docs include a reference generated from API comments in the code, a guided Manual with a gentler learning curve, and installation instructions.
