Exchange Data More Quickly!

The document describes a method for clients and servers to exchange data using shared memory. The client writes data to shared memory, resets a semaphore to signal the data is ready, and the server then reads the shared memory and can modify the data. Key steps include the client getting access to shared memory, writing data, resetting the semaphore, and the server reading the shared memory and being able to write back to it.
