Abstract

Data sharing between multiple computer processes is made possible by brokering the sharing of the state of data objects of interest between the multiple processes via a shared memory location. A state of a data object of interest is flushed from a memory location local to a one of the multiple processes to a shared memory location wherein the flushed state is visible to the rest of concurrently executing multiple processes. The instruction to flush may be explicit or implicit via data references. Similarly, a state of a data object in a memory location local to a process may be refreshed with an updated state available in the shared memory location. The state of data object in a shared memory location or in a local memory location may be determined via data reflection or if so specified, by serialization methods. The flush and refresh operations may be implemented as function calls exposed to the processes requesting data sharing.
