What is the best way to write Ruby based multi processing program with IPC?
That makes sense. Can you explain how I would use shared memory for IPC in a Ruby program?
Sure! Shared memory allows multiple processes to access the same block of memory, which can be useful for sharing data between processes. In Ruby, you could use the SysV IPC module to create and manage shared memory segments. You would first create a new shared memory segment using the shmget() function, and then attach to it using the shmat() function. Once attached, multiple processes can read and write to the shared memory segment using the memory address returned by shmat().
