ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus and program product for message communication in a distributed parallel data processing system. A user message is sent from a sender to a receiver. The user message contains user data and a pointer to a header handler routine. The header handler routine includes a first pointer to a target user buffer and a second pointer to a completion routine. When the user message is received, a low level application program interface (LAPI) is informed which invokes the header handler routines which returns the first and second pointers. LAPI then transfers the user data to the user buffer indicated by the header handler routine, and invokes the completion routine indicated by the header handler routine to complete the transfer of the user message to the receiver.
