Hello,


Shared memory or message passing ?

Shared memory allows maximum speed and convenience of communication, as it can be done at memory speeds when within a computer. Shared memory is faster than message passing.

Please read the following about a paper of the following International Conference On Principles Of Distributed Systems, it says the following:

"Communication overhead of message passing can often outweigh its benefits"

Shared memory ties your tasks to the same machine. With the proper message
implementation, you can migrate tasks to different machines. For example using
sockets, you write the socket openner to accept a URLish string, unix:filepath
or tcp://hostaddress, and it opens the unix domain or TCP domain socket. The
client passes in a string that might come out of configuration file and gets
back a socket to the same machine or any other connected machine without the
client forced to split its code: it just sees a socket.
