Multi-Agent Swarms & Shared-Memory IPC
Sub-microsecond multi-agent state coordination via lock-free shared memory without network serialization.
The Serialization Bottleneck in Agent Swarms
When multiple autonomous agents (Planner, Coder, Reviewer, Verifier) coordinate over standard HTTP/REST APIs or external Redis queues, JSON serialization and network roundtrips create latency lags measured in tens of milliseconds per thought step.
The UniDB Blackboard Architecture
UniDB provides a dynamic lock-free in-memory blackboard for agent coordination:
- Direct Memory State Sharing: Multiple independent agent processes read and write shared state concurrently at nanosecond speeds without socket overhead.
- Atomic CAS Task Leases: Agents claim tasks via Compare-And-Swap leases without lock contention.
- Robust Mutex Recovery (
EOWNERDEAD): If an agent process crashes or hits an Out-Of-Memory condition, the engine automatically recovers robust mutexes and safely reassigns active task leases. - Ingestion Throughput: Benchmarked at > 9.1 Million ops/sec.
