AI summary

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for selecting interprocess communication mechanism. In one aspect, the system collects information about resources used by two or more processes involved in an interprocess communication in which a first process can transfer data to a second process using one of a synchronous and asynchronous data transfer methods; analyzes the collected information to determine which data transfer method achieves at least one of minimizing time of the data transfer between processes, maximizing utilization of resources used for the data transfer, minimizing standstill time during the data transfer, minimizing effect of other processes of the operating system on the data transfer; and based on the determination, selects one of the synchronous or asynchronous method of interprocess communication to transfer the data between the first and second processes.
