Inter-processor communication is a critical factor for performance at scale. In order to achieve good performance, communication overheads should be minimized. The fabric interface library plays a major role in determining the communication overheads. This is very important for the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming models, as these models have been designed for very low-overhead remote memory access.
