| 7 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | Libxseg is a shared memory communication library. It is designed to provide fast |
| 8 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | inter-process communication between distinct processes. It is based on shared |
| 9 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | memory areas (segments) that each process (peer) can map on its own address |
| 10 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | space. It lays down endpoints (ports), messages (requests), and buffers over the |
| 11 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | shared segment. It also specifies an API to interact with the segment and pass |
| 12 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | messages between peers. |
| 13 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | |
| 14 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | Its primary use is to support Archipelago's modular architecture and provide |
| 15 | 26dbe76b | Filippos Giannakos | low-latency message passing between different Archipelago peers. |
