👉 The MD Fluid, developed by Microsoft Research, is a low-latency, high-throughput, and scalable inter-process communication (IPC) library designed to facilitate efficient data exchange between processes in distributed systems. It achieves this through a unique approach that combines the benefits of shared memory and message passing, allowing for near-instantaneous communication with minimal overhead. The MD Fluid employs a specialized data structure called the "Fluid Buffer," which enables efficient buffering and streaming of data, reducing latency and improving throughput. This makes it particularly well-suited for real-time applications and large-scale distributed systems where low latency and high performance are critical.
