The persistent relevance of IPC performance: new techniques for reducing the IPC penalty
Wilson C. Hsieh, M. Frans Kaashoek, W.W. Weihl · 2002
Although there have been substantial improvements in interprocess communication (IPC) performance (in particular round-trip IPC time) in recent years, further reduction of the IPC penalty is still important for parallel applications and microkernel-based operating systems. We describe a number of new software and hardware techniques that we are investigating for reducing various components of the IPC penalty.>
