Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001016742
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are described for a network shared memory. A method, includes: creating and assembling a message buffer in shared memory; parsing the message buffer for a plurality of pointer fields; and passing a message from a transmitting process to a receiving process by passing at least one pointer. The methods, systems and devices provide advantages because the speed and scalability of parallel processor systems is enhanced.
