Chronicle is a low latency data fabric for logging, IPC, sharing and processing data.
Chronicle uses memory mapped files and access to direct memory to give sub micro second persistence and IPC. This is available as a Queue or Map. It is a high performance solution which is designed for low level Java programmers in mind. This means you will have to worry about many things Java developers generally can ignore, but if you need maximum performance, Chronicle can log or send messages between processes at rates in the tens of millions per second.
The latency between processes can be sub-micro-second including serialization and deserialization, making it an ultra low latency solution. It can also be used in a lockless and GC-free manner.

Chronicle product runs on Java 8 on these platforms
- 64-bit JVMs on Windows 8 & 10.
- Linux 2.6 or later
- Max OSX
It will also run on 32-bit JVMs on Windows, but this has two resource limitations
A 32-bit process has a small virtual address space which can cause performance issues. To accommodate the lack of address space the format of a chronicle on 32-bit bit JVMs is different to a 64-bit system meaning you can get errors trying to swap one for the other.
Note: running a 32-bit JVM on 64-bits Windows will still have these issues as it is the Win XP emulator which emulates the limitations.
