Also, did you checkout http://zeromq.org/blog:zero-copy ? ZeroMQ is a dependency of Jupyter, so it is quite available.
ZeroMQ is great, but it lacks some crucial features. In particular it does not support IPC on Windows. Ideally one should e.g. use Unix doman sockets on Linux and named pipes on Windows. Most MPI implementations seems to prefer shared memory over these mechanisms, though. Also I am not sure about ZeroMQ and asynch i/o. I would e.g. like to use IOCP on Windows, GCD on Mac, and a threadpool plus epoll on Linux. Sturla
