I have various local peripherals that I need to read and write. From top of my head, I'm thinking 3 ways:
I'd go with #1, but that's assuming your peripherals are some sort of I/O device. Most I/O usually ends up going through a single channel at some point (a bus, a single cable, a single radio, etc) so having multiple threads/processes doesn't make processing any faster. If you wanted to separate components, you could have one process that uses `select` to read in the data and then passes that data to the components that process it. ZeroMQ is pretty good for fast somewhat low-level message passing. It's similar to OS level things, but you can have them connect over networks and handle the details for you.
