There is an article on the Dr. Dobbs website by Alexander Dokumentov on lock-free IPC. From the article "Interprocess communication is an essential component of modern software engineering. Often, lock-free IPC is accomplished via special processor commands. Here's a way around that." You can see the article at http://www.ddj.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=189401457

The algorithm seems to have one issue. It requires a "busy loop" where the writer and reader continuously poll the memory. I guess this may not matter if they both know when to start and stop.
