IPC
An operating-system mechanism that allows different processes to exchange data and signals. Common implementations include pipes, sockets, shared memory, and message queues. IPC is a foundational technology enabling module cooperation in hybrid-architecture applications.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
In desktop application frameworks such as Electron, the renderer process and the main process communicate through IPC channels, and each channel has a string identifier.
Communicating directly with the browser core (for example, via CDP or a custom IPC channel) can bypass the WebDriver protocol stack and reduce command latency by an order of magnitude.
IPC/WHMA-A-620 is the international acceptance standard in the field of cable and wire harness assembly, jointly published by IPC and the Wire Harness Manufacturers Association (WHMA), specifying the acceptable conditions, defect criteria, and rework guidelines for processes such as crimping, soldering, terminal insertion, jacket stripping, and bundling and securing.
Electron splits an application into a main process (Node.js environment, with access to the file system and operating system capabilities) and a renderer process (Chromium environment, responsible for the UI); the two do not share memory and can only exchange messages via IPC; for security reasons the renderer process is isolated by default and cannot call the fs module directly.
Inter-process communication (IPC) is the classic mechanism in operating systems for coordinating concurrently executing units, including pipes, message queues, shared memory, and sockets.
For high-throughput audio and video scenarios, it is common practice to route control signaling via lightweight JSON messages, while encoded media data is passed directly through shared memory or memory-mapped files to avoid serialization overhead
