Abstract: This paper describes generic NI-level mechanisms that reduce data and control transfer overheads in user-level communication systems. These mechanisms reduce polling overhead without reducing throughput, improve multicast performance, and reduce the frequency of network and timer interrupts. They have all been implemented in a family of low-level Myrinet communication systems. We illustrate the performance impact of these mechanisms using microbenchmarks and parallel-application measurements.... (Update)
