Thanks How about the overhead if I use the IPC to work for inter-thread communication ? Are there examples about how to use the IPC to do inter-thread comm ? Any help is really appreciated.

Are there asynchronous (non-blocking) communication APIs in boost ? For example, non_block_send( receiver_address, data_buffer, data_volume, data_tag , send_status ); non_block_recv( sender_address, data_buffer, data_volume, data_tag , recv_status ); if (recv_status == TRUE) getData(data_buffer) ; else wait; Any help is really appreciated.
