The Illinois Fast Messages interface contains fast messaging primitives which provide low latency and high bandwidth for short messages.

FM has been implemented on several platforms (the Cray T3D and now, workstation clusters interconnected by a high-speed Myrinet network) and provides low-latency, high-bandwidth communication for messages as short as 4 words.
