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)
