Thanks for the tips. We have a comparison with message queues and unix domain sockets [1] on the repo on github [2]. ~~It's nice to see that independent benchmarks are in the same ballpark than the one we perform.~~ Edit: sorry, I confused your link with another one which also has ping-pong in its title We provide data types which are shared memory compatible, which means one does not have to serialize/deserialize. For image or lidar data, one also does not have to serialize and this is where copying large data really hurts. But you are right, if your data structures are not shared memory compatible, one has to serialize the data first and this has its cost, depending on what serialization format one uses. iceoryx is agnostic to this though and one can select what's the best for a given use case.

Looks great! From a quick glance it seems like it is a cross platform shared memory library. Maybe similar to this? [1]. Suggestion: would be cool to have a quick description of the system calls involved for each supported platform [2]. I'm guessing mmap on linux/osx and CreateFileMapping on Windows? -- 1: https://github.com/LiveAsynchronousVisualizedArchitecture/si... 2: https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2?tab=readme-ov-fi...

Show HN: Iceoryx2 – Fast IPC Library for Rust, C++, and C

Hello everyone, Today we released iceoryx2 v0.4! iceoryx2 is a service-based inter-process communication (IPC) library designed to make communication between processes as fast as possible - like Unix domain sockets or message queues, but orders of magnitude faster and easier to use. It also comes with advanced features such as circular buffers, history, event notifications, publish-subscribe messaging, and a decentralized architecture with no need for a broker. For example, if you're working in robotics and need to process frames from a camera across multiple processes, iceoryx2 makes it simple to set that up. Need to retain only the latest three camera images? No problem - circular buffers prevent your memory from overflowing, even if a process is lagging. The history feature ensures you get the last three images immediately after connec

ting to the camera service, as long as they’re still available. Another great use case is for GUI applications, such as window managers or editors. If you want to support plugins in multiple languages, iceoryx2 allows you to connect processes - perhaps to remotely control your editor or window manager. Best of all, thanks to zero-copy communication, you can transfer gigabytes of data with incredibly low latency. Speaking of latency, on some systems, we've achieved latency below 100ns when sending data between processes - and we haven't even begun serious performance optimizations yet. So, there’s still room for improvement! If you’re in high-frequency trading or any other use case where ultra-low latency matters, iceoryx2 might be just what you need. If you’re curious to learn more about the new features and what’s coming next, check out the full iceoryx2 v0.4 release announcement.
