Abstract

One embodiment provides for an electronic device comprising a first processor to execute a first operating system and a second processor to execute a second operating system. The second processor a set of input/output devices within the electronic device. The electronic device additionally includes an interconnect to enable communication between the first processor and the second processor. The operating systems include communication modules which establish a bi-directional network connection over the interconnect. Via the bi-directional network connection, the communication modules establish a multi-channel inter-process communication link between a first process on the first processor and a second process on the second processor to enable communication between the processes.
