| PackageDescription | Documentation for the ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE)
This package contains the ACE overview documentation, tutorials,
examples, and information regarding upstream development.
.
The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is a freely available open
source object-oriented (OO) framework that implements many core design
patterns for concurrent communication software. ACE provides a rich set
of reusable C++ wrappers and framework components that perform common
communication software tasks across a range of OS platforms. The
communication software tasks provided by ACE include event
demultiplexing and event handler dispatching, signal handling, service
initialization, interprocess communication, shared memory management,
message routing, dynamic (re)configuration of distributed services,
concurrent execution and synchronization.
.
ACE is targeted for developers of high-performance and real-time
communication services and applications. It simplifies the development
of OO network applications and services that utilize interprocess
communication, event demultiplexing, explicit dynamic linking, and
concurrency. In addition, ACE automates system configuration and
reconfiguration by dynamically linking services into applications at
run-time and executing these services in one or more processes or
threads.
