ACE is an object-oriented (OO) framework that implements
many core design patterns for concurrent communication
software.
ACE provides a rich set of reusable C++ wrapper facades and
framework components that perform common communication
software tasks across a range of OS platforms. The
communication software tasks provided by ACE include event
demultiplexing and event handler dispatching, signal
handling, service initialization, interprocess
communication, shared memory management, message routing,
dynamic (re)configuration of distributed services,
concurrent execution and synchronization.
ACE is targeted for developers of high-performance and
real-time communication services and applications. It
simplifies the development of OO network applications and
services that utilize interprocess communication, event
demultiplexing, explicit dynamic linking, and concurrency.
In addition, ACE automates system configuration and
reconfiguration by dynamically linking services into
applications at run-time and executing these services in
one or more processes or threads.
