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 software transactional memory.
ssmp is now a part of the 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.
