Hi, I had read the guide, from what I understand the inproc:// transport is for inter thread communication. What I am looking for is for communicating between processes on the same machine. Since shared memory is faster for communication between the processes on the same machine, I was wondering if ZeroMQ has a transport for shared memory.
My search on the dev-list couple of discussions regarding the same and a possibility of 'memory mapped' file transport was mentioned in the emails. So does ZeroMQ already have a transport for shared memory or in the plans for future? How does ZeroMQ ipc transport perform compare to a shared memory based communication implementation?
