Abstract: Active Messages is a thin, highly optimized communication layer targeted at the library or compiler writer. A primary goal of an Active Message layer is to deliver the minimum latency and peak bandwidth of the network hardware to user programs. Previous work on Active Messages demonstrated a 6-to 12-fold performance improvement over vendor supplied send and receive libraries for Massively Parallel Processors. This document describes an Active Message layer we have constructed on a Network of... (Update)
