Abstract: . The current prototype of the Genoa Active Message MAchine (GAMMA) is a low-overhead, Active Messages-based inter-process communication layer implemented mainly at kernel level in the Linux Operating System. It runs on a pool of low-cost Pentium-based Personal Computers (PCs) networked by a low-cost 100base-TX Ethernet hub to form a low-cost message-passing parallel platform. In this paper we describe in detail how GAMMA could achieve unprecedented communication performance (less than 13 ¯s... (Update)

...cause of lack of performance. In order to overcome TCP IP inadequacy for SAN, several research efforts have been carried out [26, 19, 25, 21, 5, 1, 12]. One of the core concept is the removal of kernel intervention in the critical path of communication, supplying a user process...

...card memory. This phenomenum can only be avoid using specific hardware (Myrinet [4] SCI [5] or specific low latency protocols (GAMMA [7]) or architectures (VIA [6] Until now, none of these solutions achieved the same stability, low cost and compatibility as TCP. This...
