In this context a DS Network Interface Controller (DSNIC) has been developed. The board's hardware, controlled by FPGA firmware, together with the host software, provides a CSP based message passing interface between standard OS processes. This paper describes how the design and realisation of the DSNIC refleat our aim: low-latency high-throughput inter-process communication. We show the benchmark results, their analysis, and suggest further performance gains that might be possible." }
