Increased latency associated with remote operations is a serious problem facing any distributed system. This problem is compounded if the distributed system must work over several forms of interconnect since designing an efficient solution for one may make accommodating another awkward or impractical. On the other hand, a common interprocessor communications protocol may not exploit the advantages of new technology. This paper describes an interprocessor communications model that provides a uniform interface to high level system functions, while encouraging optimizations based on unique characteristics of a particular interconnect. It has been successfully applied to local, backplane and traditional network style interconnects.
