What are Microsofts plans for supporting Distributed Message Passing (DMP)?
Distributed Message Passing is one of the intracluster communications techniques that are planned for Phase 2 of MSCS. (Another is I/O shipping.) Applications will be able to access MSCS DMP services through extensions to the Cluster API. MSCS in turn will host the DMP services over a variety of interconnect technologies including new low-latency drivers based on the Virtual Interface (VI) architecture. The result will be a standard infrastructure for supporting a new generation of scalable, cluster-aware applications.
