  • Abstract
    Open-MX is a new message passing layer implemented on top of the generic Ethernet stack of the Linux kernel. Open-MX works on all Ethernet hardware, but it suffers from expensive memory copy requirements on the receiver side due to the hardwarepsilas inability to deposit messages directly in the target application buffers.
