Design and Implementation of a Portable ACE-Based IPC Platform

ACE is a freely available, open-source object-oriented framework that implements many core design patterns for concurrent communication software. ACE provides reusable C++ wrappers, frameworks and real-time ORB available for most operating systems. In this paper, we introduce the functionality of ACE components, design an effective and portable IPC platform framework based on ACE middleware and implement the IPC platform system in C++. Eventually, we test our IPC platform, compare it with the non-ACE system and conclude its advantages and drawbacks.
