Technical Examples
  1. A method for communication between first and second computer programs having a shared memory. The first computer program has a first work dispatcher for a first work queue. The second computer program has a second work dispatcher for a second work queue. Without causing an interrupt, a message or data is written for the second program from the first program to the shared memory and the second work queue is updated with a work item indicating a message or data for the second program. In association with the updating step, it is determined if the second program is currently busy. If so, the second program is not interrupted regarding the message or data. When the second program subsequently becomes not busy, the second program receives, without an interrupt, and executes the work item to receive the message or data. If the second program was not currently busy, the second program is interrupted to process the message or data on its work queue. This imposes a minimal burden on the second program.
