Abstract
A method and system for synchronizing message transfers from a sender to a receiver, such that message latency and overhead processing are minimized. A next inter-message arrival delay is initially predicted in accordance with traffic history. The predicted inter-message arrival delay is categorized as either an intra-burst delay or an inter-burst delay. In response to a prediction of an inter-burst delay, the receiver is operated in a blocking mode wherein the receiver waits for an interrupt request from the sender. In response to a prediction of an intra-burst delay, the receiver is switched to a polling mode wherein the receiver polls for a message complete signal from said sender.
