Abstract

Techniques are described that can be used by a message engine to notify a core or hardware thread of activity. For example, an inter-processor interrupt can be used to notify the core or hardware thread. The message engine may generate notifications in response to one or more message received from a transmitting message engine. Message engines may communicate without sharing memory space.
