| + | ====== ssmp ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ssmp is a highly optimized message passing library built on top of the cache-coherence protocols of shared memory processors. It exports functions for sending and receiving cache-line-sized (or bigger) messages. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ssmp was first developed for the [[tm2c|TM2C]] software transactional memory. \\ | ||
| + | ssmp is now a part of the [[ssync|SSYNC]] synchronization suite. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Details ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ssmp uses cache-line-sized buffers to efficiently exchange messages between cores. Ideally, a message transfer is as expensive as a single cache-line transfer. To achieve this ssmp collocates the flags used to synchronize message exchanges with the actual data. | ||
