iceoryx | true zero-copy inter | Game Engine library

iceoryx is a C++ library typically used in Gaming, Game Engine, Eclipse applications. iceoryx has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

Great that you've made it to this little Eclipse project! Let's get you started by providing a quick background tour, introducing the project scope and all you need for installation and a first running example. So first off: What is iceoryx?. iceoryx is an inter-process-communication (IPC) middleware for various operating systems (currently we support Linux, MacOS, QNX and Windows 10). It has its origins in the automotive industry, where large amounts of data have to be transferred between different processes when it comes to driver assistance or automated driving systems. However, the efficient communication mechanisms can also be applied to a wider range of use cases, e.g. in the field of robotics or game development. iceoryx uses a true zero-copy, shared memory approach that allows to transfer data from publishers to subscribers without a single copy. This ensures data transmissions with constant latency, regardless of the size of the payload. For more information have a look at the 1000 words iceoryx introduction. You're right, middleware is a cluttered term and can somehow be all or nothing, so let's talk about the goals and non-goals of iceoryx.
