if it was communication between two processes i would have
suggested pipes or named pipes.

question is what is generated by module  #1? and can this not
be generated in user space?

can you pls be more specific as to what is generated by
module #1 ?  i really want to know. because i think you
cannot generate loads of random numbers ( i am taking your example)
from one module and ask another module to gather it.
