Abstract
A system, apparatus and method for enabling a FIFO-like (first-in-first-out) communication between a plurality of executing processes that are distributed throughout a computing system. Embodiments exploit locality in the hierarchy of the cache memory and communication busses within the computing system to enable the passing of messages or streams of bytes with a low latency and high throughput. In addition, this allows for participating components to be very simple, or very sophisticated, but still benefit from the improved communications patterns.
