Abstract

The following article presents a comparison of multithread and multiprocess communication and synchronization. The theoretical comparison was supported by the solutions of practical, classical synchronization problems. The availability of communication and synchronization mechanisms in the Boost library and in IPC interprocess communication was compared.A subjective assessment of the difficulty in implementation and applications performance was also presented.
