Below is a function w/ a working example showing how to access the AIDA64 shared memory.
First enable shared memory here: Preferences > Hardware Monitoring > External Applications > Enable Shared Memory
The length of the data depends on the number of active sensors and their content. As AIDA64 does not provide a buffer size value, we use _WinAPI_GetSystemInfo() <WinAPISys.au3> to get dwPageSize ($aArray[1]). This value is the used as an address offset, and we continue reading chunks of data until we encounter a 0x00 NUL character.
Based on the Delphi example found in the AIDA64 documentation: https://www.aida64.co.uk/user-manual/external-applications
Feedback appreciated, especially as all this shared memory stuff is not my ordinary cup of... cake. And regarding this whole ordeal of reading data without knowing the exact length; I'm suspecting my solution to read chunks of data like done below is not by the book, and I'm concerned what might happen if the final chunk is exactly 4096 bytes in length. Will there still be a NUL terminator there? Hmm.

so in https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/193254-solved-ipc-between-system-and-user/ I asked around about IPCs and got all the answers I was looking for.
Now the question is: what IPC is most "resilient" on an overwhelmed PC, meaning, the CPU is at 100%, memory is top out and, as is always, need to rely on the IPC.
..and all this happened because I open over 100 GUIs at once 😜
..but it happens sporadically on low CPU or memory demand anyways.
..should I sleep() some time before running another instance ?
I did not know if to make the question in technical, chat, ..or here. So it's here.
Since you will ask what I've tried, I've used the IPC from the Fork UDFish ( WM_COPYDATA that can do Admin/user mix ) and the FMIPC file mapping, that work under the same conditions.
So, how do you handle IPC if it fails ?

Hi,
I would like to send an array from a script to a another. This array has 1000 rows and 4 columns with this kind of data :
1st row = 528 ; 31 ; HOSTNAME|1|02:45:47|abcdefgh|username|5 ; old
2nd row = ...
What IPC should I use ?

Hi,
just for reference.
you can control the streamlabs OBS client via Named Pipes like so:
Local $sMessage = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0","id": 1,"method": "toggleRecording","params": {"resource": "StreamingService","args": []}}' $handle = FileOpen("\\.\pipe\slobs", 2) FileWriteLine($handle, $sMessage) FileClose($handle)
the api can be found here: https://stream-labs.github.io/streamlabs-obs-api-docs/docs/index.html

I was in need of an IPC (Interprocess communication) between system, admin and user levels, and ended up writing this UDF to suit my wantings.
Hope you find it useful too.
Works from WinXP/Server2003 to the now current Win10/Server2016.
It communicates between any mix of x32, x64, Admin, User.
In the zip file, there is the UDF and an example: FMIPC(v0.2018.04.04).zip
Special thanks to @RTFC for the help in the support forum
