Abstract:

Active messaging is a communications model designed around the interaction of a network interface and its driving software in an operating system. By utilizing this model, the user can design applications that make better use of the available computing and communication resources. Currently, successful implementations exist only for a certain subset of workstations and network adapters. This paper is an exploration into a portable implementation of active messaging for possible inclusion to the PVM suite, a generalized framework for distributed computing.
