What we're ultimately targeting is that the flatbuffer pointers Micah noted
in [1] above can work a non-contiguous memory region.
Take a look here at [2]. Each of the colored boxes should be contiguous,
but they don't need to be packed together in memory for IPC. Note that the
"data header" in [2]
Hi Jacob,
The current rough prototype/proposal of the IPC via shared memory is
to do a depth first traversal of each arrays buffer and write them out
to a contiguous memory block. Metadata about array types and
locations of buffers is persisted at the end of memory block in
flatbuffer format [1].
