The design of ef ;cient communication layers for these systems is still of great research interest. This paper presents a low- latency messaging method for PVFS2 dedicated for Gigabit Ether net networks and discusses relevant design issues. In con trast to other approaches, we argue that zero-copying can be achieved also for big messages without use of a rendez vous protocol. Further, ef;ciency within the communica tion layer like a small call stack plays an important role.}, language = {en} }
