Cross-Platform Client-Server ArchitectureMilanovski, Hristijan (Avtor) Šter, Branko (Mentor) Urh, Filip (Komentor) inter-process communicationclient–server architecturesocketseventsshared memoryThe diploma thesis describes the complete process of creating a cross-platform, multi-client, multi-threaded server architecture that works natively on both Windows and Linux, as an improvement of the original implementation at Tasking Labs d.o.o., which, at the time of writing, supported only a single client natively on Windows. The implementation covers all communication mechanisms required for multi-client, multi-threaded server interactions be- tween client processes and the server process. It addresses the initial hand- shake, the server’s listening and cleaning threads, the dispatching of requests and their corresponding responses, as well as packet segmentation, open- ing, and mapping through shared memory. In addition, the thesis discusses the various approaches undertaken, including the use of synchronization ob- jects, mutexes, native handles when necessary, and sockets, as well as the differences between the Windows and Linux APIs, which had to be care- fully managed to ensure a uniform, portable C++ interface that can be used consistently across the company’s codebase and products.20252025-09-10 19:30:00Diplomsko delo/naloga172690sl
