Abstract :
This paper describes a new approach in designing communications between processes in a multi-threaded environment. This technique supports real-time performance and can be adapted for embedded operating systems. At present, message-passing is a widely used technique in designing interprocess communication systems. This design may degrade performance of real-time systems. The present research introduces a library-based architecture for interprocess communication systems (IPC) adaptable in real-time embedded operating systems. It achieves improved real-time performance by running IPC as a set of library functions.
