Re: [SSI-users] IPC in OpenSSI

[SAMPATHKUMAR K. K. <sam...@in...>]

Hi,
   
+ I am looking for some information about IPC in OpenSSI. I am interested
+ in how the IPC objects/mechanisms are realized in this distributed
+ environment. Is it efficient?
  
Basically, the IPC objects actually exist and are maintained on the
node on which they were first "created" (let us call this server-node).
Access to this IPC object from all other nodes (let us call these
client-nodes) are directed transparently to the server-node from within
the kernel. No IPC objects are actually "created" on the client-nodes.
  
I am unable to comment on other aspects related to "efficiency" at this
time. Maybe others can.
  
   
+ Is there any difference between the IPC programming interface in OpenSSi
+ and standard Linux? 
  
No. There is no difference between the IPC programming interface in
OpenSSI as compared to standard Linux.
