What is inter-process communication?

Inter-Process Communication (IPC) is a set of techniques for the exchange of data among multiple threads within one or more processes. It allows different programs to communicate and synchronize, typically operating on the same computer. Common IPC mechanisms include pipes, message queues, shared memory, sockets, and signals. It's used extensively in operating systems, distributed systems, and applications requiring modular design and concurrency.

What other technologies are related to inter-process communication?

inter-process communication Competitor Technologies

Multi-threading within a single process offers an alternative to inter-process communication by allowing threads to share memory directly, thus competing with IPC mechanisms for certain use cases.
