ACE provides a rich set of reusable C++ wrappers, class -categories, and frameworks that perform common communication software -tasks across a range of operating system platforms. The communication -software tasks provided by ACE include event demultiplexing and event -handler dispatching, connection establishment, interprocess -communication, shared memory management, message routing, dynamic -(re)configuration of distributed services, multi-threading, and -concurrency control. - -ACE is targeted for developers of high-performance concurrent network -applications and services.
