Pushing C# to the limit
summary
Builds a production-ready high-speed communications library in C# that uses shared memory lock-free pipes and unsafe pointers via memory-mapped views, plus interprocess signaling and a safe-disposable wrapper to avoid dangling pointers. Implements remoting-style expression-tree proxying with client-activated proxies, binary-writer fast paths and a BinaryFormatter fallback, and fully asynchronous Task-based calls. Achieves about ~560k msgs/sec in a stress test and reports a 5–10x latency improvement over .NET remoting, and the system works reliably across processes.
