Evaluating the Virtual Interface Architecture for Clusters
The Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) is a proposed industry
standard for user-level networking. Its goals are similar to those of
Active Messages: low latency, low overhead, and high throughput. We
implement VIA and measure its performance, using the results to draw
conclusions about strengths and weaknesses of VIA. Finally, we propose
some improvements to the specification.
