  abstract = {Distributed-memory systems have traditionally had great
  difficulty performing network I/O at rates proportional to their
  computational power. The problem is that the network interface has to support
  network I/O for a supercomputer, using computational and memory bandwidth
  resources similar to those of a workstation. As a result, the network
  interface becomes a bottleneck. We implemented an architecture for network
  I/O for the iWarp system with the following two key characteristics: first,
  application-specific tasks are off-loaded from the network interface to the
  distributed-memory system, and second, these tasks are performed in close
  cooperation with the application. The network interface has been used by
  several applications for over a year. In this paper we describe the network
  interface software that manages the communication between the iWarp
  distributed-memory system and the network interface, we validate the main
  features of our network interface architecture based on application
  experience, and we discuss how this architecture can be used by other
  distributed-memory systems.},
