Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method and system for facilitating the exchange of information between interconnected processors in environments requiring high performance and high reliability. In an exemplary embodiment, the source sends input to the target and expects output from the target in return. A manager in communication with both the source and the target receives and initiates a storage of the information in nonvolatile memory. The manager concurrently forwards the information to its proper destination. If the manager receives output from the target before completion of the input storage, the manager cancels the input storage because it is no longer needed to ensure system reliability. If the manager receives acknowledgement from the source that the target output has been received before completion of the output storage, the manager cancels the output storage because it is no longer needed to ensure system reliability. Related embodiments are also described.
