Abstract

A new OS architecture, referred to as Zero-copy architecture, for high performance communication is proposed. This architecture dissolved memory copy bottleneck that is a major overhead in protocol processing. This can reduce CPU processing overhead, in addition to realizing high speed data communication. This architecture is shown to be suitable for large volume of data communication like video and image transfer.
