Abstract
Techniques are provided for making data stored in channels of shared memory available across a communication network that couples multiple distinct processing units (e.g., of a robot). In various implementations, a channel may be established in shared memory of a first processing unit. A publisher process executing on the first processing unit may publish data to the channel, and a remote subscriber process executing on a second processing unit may subscribe to the channel. A persistent network connection over a communication network may be established between the first and second processing units. Data published to the channel by the publisher process may be read directly from the local memory of the first processing unit by or on behalf of one or more local subscriber processes, and may be transmitted over the communication network to the remote subscriber process using the persistent network connection.
