Description

I'm trying to improve the throughput of an app I'm building. Essentially, it currently uses Unix Domain Sockets to transfer messages between two processes. This is because they are well supported in many programming languages, and easy to use for request/reply.

But combining the two process into a single process I get 10x the TPS. So I know there is up-to 10x potential improvement.

My questions is, can mmap do this, give some constraints:

  • Request/reply (like HTTP).
  • Concurrent, multiple request/replies in flight.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the current Unix Domain Socket request/reply implementation and assess whether a mmap-based design can support concurrent in-flight requests; done would require a decided, documented approach and clear constraints.
