Abstract
A method for communicating in a multi-processor environment is provided that includes generating a bit at an originating processor associated with a message to be communicated to a destination processor. The bit is positioned in a send register associated with the originating processor and transposed from the send register of the originating processor to a receive register of the destination processor. An interrupt signal is then generated in response to the bit being transposed.
