1. 文件映射(Memory-Mapped Files)
内存映射文件允许应用程序把文件映射到一个进程的虚拟地址空间，这样文件内的数据就可以用内存读写指令来访问。
通过内存文件映射，应用程序不必执行文件I/O操作也无需对文件内容进行缓冲处理。内存文件映射的这种特性是非常适合于用来管理大尺寸文件的。
2. 共享内存（Shared Memory)
Win32 API中共享内存(Shared Memory)实际就是文件映射的一种特殊情况。进程在创建文件映射对象时用INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE来代替文件句柄，就表示了对应的文件映射对象是由操作系统页面文件产生的，其它进程打开该文件映射对象就可以访问该内存块。由于共享内存是用文件映射实现的，所以它也有较好的安全性，也只能运行于同一计算机上的进程之间。
共享内存顾名思义是在内存中创建一个公共区域，供不同的进程间的数据共享。因为是直接对内存进行读写操作，效率非常高，所以共享内存特别适用于大批量的数据传输且实时性要求比较高的场合。
具体操作步骤如下：
1.进程A调用CreateFileMapping创建一个内存映射文件。
2.进程A调用MapViewOfFile获取到映射到文件的内存起始地址，调用memcpy往内存中拷贝数据。
3.进程B调用CreateFileMapping打开进程A创建的内存映射文件。
4.进程B调用MapViewOfFile获取到映射到文件的内存起始地址，调用memcpy从内存中读出数据。
5.通信完后进程A，Ｂ分别调用UnmapViewOfFile,CloseHandle取消内存映射和关闭内存映射对象句柄。
