Real-time data exchange

I have an application that requires two matlab codes to run parallel in real-time and they need to communicate to each other once in a while and exchange small amount of data (e.g. 8 integers). I designed this application using parallel computing toolbox using pmode and communicate using labrecieve but I have to use labbarrier to which blocks one code. Other way I plan is to use TCP/IP between two separate instances of MATLAB.

Is there a better way to handle this situation.

Thanks in advance.

On Windows you can control and exchange data from one MATLAB session to another with activex.

I guess you could use memmapfile in both MATLAB instances to use a (memory mapped) file for exchanging data. Since labbarrier/labreceive is not appropriate as you said, you are not 100% relying on exact time points of data exchange in the code.
