This document discusses inter-process communication and two common methods: shared memory and message passing. Shared memory allows processes to communicate by accessing and modifying the same memory locations. Message passing involves processes establishing communication links and exchanging messages using primitives like send and receive. The benefits of inter-process communication include information sharing, resource sharing, increased communication speed, and modularity.

Inter-Process communication in Operating System.pptNitihyaAshwinC
Interprocess communication (IPC) in an operating system refers to the mechanisms and techniques that processes use to communicate and share data with each other. Processes are independent execution units within an operating system, and IPC is essential for processes to cooperate, exchange information, and synchronize their activities. Here are some common methods of IPC in operating systems:
Message Passing: In message passing, processes send and receive messages to communicate. This can be implemented using various methods:
Sockets: Processes can communicate over a network or locally using sockets, which provide a means to send and receive data streams.
Pipes: A pipe is a unidirectional communication channel between two processes. One process writes to the pipe, and the other reads from it.
Message Queues: Message queues allow processes to send and receive messages in a more structured manner. Messages are often stored in a queue, and processes can read from and write to the queue.
Shared Memory: Shared memory is a method where multiple processes can access the same region of memory. This allows them to share data more efficiently. However, it requires synchronization mechanisms to ensure that processes do not interfere with each other.
Semaphores: Semaphores are synchronization primitives used to control access to shared resources. They are often used in combination with shared memory to prevent race conditions and ensure orderly access to data.
Mutexes and Locks: Mutexes (short for mutual exclusion) and locks are used to protect critical sections of code. Only one process or thread can hold a mutex at a time, ensuring that only one entity accesses a particular resource at a given moment.
Signals: Signals are a form of asynchronous communication. One process can send a signal to another process to notify it of an event, such as a specific condition or an interrupt. The receiving process can define signal handlers to respond to these signals.
Remote Procedure Calls (RPC): RPC allows a process to execute procedures or functions on a remote process, as if they were local. This is often used in distributed systems and client-server architectures.
Named Pipes (FIFOs): Named pipes, or FIFOs (first in, first out), are similar to regular pipes but have a named file associated with them. Multiple processes can read from and write to the same named pipe, making them useful for communication between unrelated processes.
The choice of IPC mechanism depends on the specific requirements of the processes and the operating system. Different IPC methods are suitable for different scenarios. For example, message passing is useful for structured communication, shared memory is efficient for large data sharing, and semaphores help with synchronization.

Network model - A method of describing and analyzing data communications networks by breaking the entire set of communications process into a number of layers
Each layer has a specific function
The OSI model describes how data flows from one computer, through a network to another computer
The OSI model divides the tasks involved with moving information between networked computers into 7 smaller, more manageable sub-task .
A task is then assigned to each of the seven OSI layers.
Each layer is reasonably self-contained so that the tasks assigned to each layer can be implemented independently.
To reduce complexity, networks are organized as a stack of layers, one below the other
Each layer performs a specific task. It provides services to an adjacent layer
This is similar to the concept of a function in programming languages – function does a specific task
A brief introduction to task communication in real time operating system.It covers Inter-process communication like concepts of shared memory , message passing, remoteprocedure call .Interprocess communication (IPC) refers specifically to the mechanisms an operating system provides to allow the processes to manage shared data. Typically, applications can use IPC, categorized as clients and servers, where the client requests data and the server responds to client requests.Many applications are both clients and servers, as commonly seen in distributed computing.

The open system interconnection model, better known as the OSI Model, is a network map that was originally developed as a universal standard for creating networks. But instead of serving as a model with agreed-upon protocols that would be used worldwide, the OSI model has become a teaching tool that shows how different tasks within a network should be handled in order to promote error-free data transmission.
Producer Consumer Problem in C explained.pptossama8
Producer-Consumer problem is a classical synchronization problem in the operating system. With the presence of more than one process and limited resources in the system the synchronization problem arises. If one resource is shared between more than one process at the same time then it can lead to data inconsistency.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

2. INTER PROCESS COMMUNICATION
Inter process communication is a mechanism which
allows processes to communicate with each other and
synchronize their actions. Whatever process is present
in the system, they can communicate with each other.
It is a method of cooperation
3. TYPES OF PROCESS
There are two types of processes –
Independent Process: An Independent process is
not affected by other executing processes.
Cooperating Process: A Cooperating process can be
affected by other executing processes.
4. BENEFITS OF INTER PROCESS
Some of the benefits of using inter process communication
are –
Information Sharing: Multiple processes can share same
information to perform some tasks. In such scenarios, inter
process communication helps. There may be a scenario
when a process needs to access remote process. In such
case, this method of communication helps.
Resource Sharing: We can do with the help of inter
process communication.
Information Sharing: Multiple processes can share same
information to perform some tasks. In such scenarios, inter
process communication helps. There may be a scenario
5. BENEFITS OF INTER PROCESS
Resource Sharing: We can do with the help of inter
process communication.
Communication speed: Computational speed will
also increase if inter process communication method
is used to communicate between processes.
Modularity: An architecture is break down into
different cooperating modules to increase the
efficiency. All the modules cooperate using inter
process communication method.
6. SHARED MEMORY
Shared Memory
Shared memory is an efficient way to share data
between processes. One process will create a memory
portion which other processes can access if allowed.
Let’s take an example to understand inter process
communication using shared memory.
7. SHARED MEMORY
There are two parts (a) and (b). Both represent shared
memory techniques.
(a)Image
Process A generate information about certain resources and
keeps records in shared memory. When process B needs to
use that information, it will check the record stored in
shared memory and take note of the information generated
by process A and act accordingly. Thus, processes can use
shared memory for extracting information as a record from
other process as well as for delivering any specific
information to other process.
8. Image (b):
Whenever process A uses some shared memory, it
sends information to the kernel (operating system).
When process B wants to perform some operation, it
first checks the Kernel if any other device is using that
resources or not. If any process is using that resource,
it will take other resources which is free.
9. MESSAGE PASSING
2. Message Passing
In message passing, there is no use of shared memory.
If two processes A and B want to communicate with
each other, at first, they establish a communication
link. After this, they can start exchanging messages
using basic primitives.
They need at least 2 basic primitives –
(a) Send (message, destination) or Send(message)
(b) Receive (message, host) or Receive(message)
10. A standard message has two parts –
(a) Header
(b) Body
Header contains message type, source id, destination id,
message length and control information. Control
information contains sequence number, priority, action to
do if runs out of space etc.
Body contains the actual message.
Generally, any message is sent using FIFO style.
11. MESSAGE PASSING
In this call, the sender and receiver processes address
each other by names.
Mode of communication between two processes can take
place in two ways:
Direct Addressing
Indirect Addressing
12. DIRECT ADDRESSING OF MESSAGE
PASSING
1. Direct Addressing of Message Passing
In this type, the two processes need to know the name of
each other to communicate. This become easy if they have
the same parent.
Example:
If process A send message to process B, then, basic
primitives will be –
Send (B, message);
Receive (A, message);
