Linux Fusion installs the fusion module to your kernel.
Fusion is a high level IPC API providing mechanisms for master/slave environments.
In client/server environments clients delegate every operation to the server which has sole access to shared resources.
The master/slave approach eliminates this overhead by virtually merging the processes at the lower level of their implementation.
This way of making multiple processes look like multiple threads gave Fusion its name.
Here are some key features of "Linux Fusion":
Command encoding and decoding
Transport of command packets
Transport of data referenced by commands
Context switches between client and server processes
Strict seperation of client and server implementation
Shared memory for data normally held solely by the server
High level messaging for virtually local event handlers and callbacks
Advanced locking techniques for synchronization and access control
Framework for distributed allocation and cleanup of resources
What's New in This Release:
fix 64-bit compile warnings "casting from pointer to integer of different size"
