Abstract: Careful design of the processor-network interface can dramatically reduce the software overhead of interprocessor communication. Our interface architecture reduces communication overhead five fold in our benchmarks. Most of our performance gain comes from simple, low cost hardware mechanisms for fast dispatching on, forwarding of, and replying to messages. The remaining improvement can be gained by implementing the network interface as part of the processor's register file. For example, using... (Update)
