Abstract :
Illinois Fast Messages is a low level software messaging layer designed to meet the demands of high-performance network hardware. Implementations on a Cray T3D and a Myrinet-based workstation cluster demonstrate that FM can deliver much of the underlying hardware´s performance to both higher-level messaging layers and applications
