- GianFabien 5y agoUnix domain sockets are comparably performant to shared memory without the need for semaphores and locks. Of course, it only works on single node deployments. UDP/TCP based protocols are usable on multi-node deployments.
- uwagar 5y agoindeed, also when a lot of data needs to be transfered with low latency between 2 programs on the same computer, shared memory method could be more attractive. can u transmit a huge block of data in OSC in one go? or is it attribute, value pair?
