Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring remote transmissions of messages among a plurality of nodes are described. A processing element in a first node may allocate a sequence number to a request to read and/or update data in a second node. The processing element may be different from main processors of the first node. The processing element may send the message and the sequence number to the second node. The processing element may modify a status of the sequence number to an active state, indicating a transmission of the message is pending. The processing element may, in response to a response from the second node, modify the status of the sequence number to an inactive state, indicating a completed transmission of the message. The processing element may, in response to no response from the second node within a time period, resend the message and the sequence number to the second node.

Abstract: A shared memory maintained by sender processes stores a sequence number counter per destination process. A sender process increments the sequence number counter in the shared memory in sending a message to a destination process. The sender process sends a data packet comprising the message and at least a sequence number specified by the sequence number counter. All of the sender processes share a sequence number counter per destination process, each of the sender processes incrementing the sequence number counter in sending a respective message. Receiver processes run on the hardware processor, each of the receiver processes maintaining a local memory counter on the memory, the local memory counter associated with a sending node. The local memory counter stores a sequence number of a message received from the sending node. The receiver process delivers incoming data packets ordered by sequence numbers of the data packets.

A message management module provides for handling message events including application receives and channel notifications such that hardware tag matching can continuously run in hardware channels, such as network adapters. When the message event is an application receive the message management module adds the application receive to a tracking queue and determines if the application receive can be posted to a hardware channel capable of tag matching. When the message event is a channel notification, the message management module determines a message action using the message tracking queue and the information in the channel notification.
