ØMQ For Mac

ØMQ (also seen as ZeroMQ, 0MQ, zmq) looks like an embeddable networking library but acts like a concurrency framework.

ØMQ gives you sockets that carry atomic messages across various transports like in-process, inter-process, TCP, and multicast.

You can connect sockets N-to-N with patterns like fanout, pub-sub, task distribution, and request-reply. It's fast enough to be the fabric for clustered products.

Its asynchronous I/O model gives you scalable multicore applications, built as asynchronous message-processing tasks. ØMQ has a score of language APIs and runs on most operating systems.

ØMQ comes with the low-level C API. High-level bindings exist in 40+ languages including Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, C, C++, C#, Erlang, Perl, and more.

ØMQ is very fast because it's already getting 30 micro-seconds end-to-end latencies and over 3 million messages a second today.

ØMQ is intended to be POSIX compliant and is compatible with the following platforms: · Mac OS X (tested on 10.5) · Linux (tested on Debian 4.0, Ubuntu 8.0.4) · FreeBSD (tested on 5.5 release) · Solaris (tested on 8, 10)
