An Efficient Virtual Network Interface in the Fugu Scalable Workstation by Mackenzie, Kenneth Martin

“…A scalable workstation is one vision of a mainstream parallel computer: a machine that combines scalable, fine-grain communication facilities for parallel applications with virtual memory and pre-emptive multiprogramming to support general-purpose workloa…”

UDM: User Direct Messaging for General-Purpose Multiprocessing by Mackenzie, Kenneth, Kubiatowicz, John, Frank, Matthew, Lee, Walter, Victor, Lee, Agarwal, Anant, Kaashoek, M. Frans

“…User Direct Messaging (UDM) allows user-level, processor-to- processor messaging to coexist with general multiprogramming and virtual memory. Direct messaging, where processors launch and receive messages in tens of cycles directly via network interface FIFO's as opposed to indirectly via memory, offers high message bandwidth and low delivery latency by avoiding memory delay and buffer management overhead.…”
