Abstract
This document describes a feature that can be added to existing pipelined architectures (such as RISC) to enhance packet based or message passing communications. The feature integrates the communication interface directly into the pipeline of the processor, offering the potential to greatly reduce latency and overhead for fine grain communications. Additionally, a second interface is provided to maintain high bandwidth for large blocks of data.
