Information streaming in a multi-process system using shared memory

摘要

The present invention discloses a method and system for streaming an information stream from a producer to N consumers in a multi-process environment. An inter-process communication (IPC) channel containing a shared memory is provided between the producer and at least one of N consumers. The information stream is written into the shared memory by way of a producer-side interface. The information stream is read from the shared memory by way of a consumer-side interface.
