Abstract
This paper discusses a reliable group communication system using active messages to update shared objects. We discuss the model, implementation techniques, and our preliminary performance results. 1. Introduction The performance of parallel programming systems on loosely-coupled machines is mainly limited by the efficiency of its message passing communication architecture. Rendezvous and mail-boxes are the traditional communication mechanisms upon which these systems are built. Unfortunately both mechanisms incur a high latency at the receiver side between arrival and final delivery of the message. An alternative mechanism, active messages [6], reduces this latency by integrating the message data directly into the user-level computation as soon as it arrives. The integration is done by a user specified handler, which is invoked as soon as possible after the hardware receives the message. For interrupt-driven architectures the most obvious design choice is to run the handler directly i...
