Abstract: We present a systematic performance assessment of the hardware and software that provides the interface between
applications and emerging high-speed networks. Using LogP as a conceptual framework and Active Messages as
the communication layer, we devise a set of communication microbenchmarks. These generate a graphical
signature from which we extract the LogP performance parameters of latency, overhead, and bandwidth. The
method is illustrated on three diverse platforms: Intel Paragon, Meiko... (Update)
