| Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing operations by network interface cards in a network of computers. A network interface card is configured to receive a message and to interpret the message to identify a primitive operation to be performed. The primitive operation is one of a plurality of primitive operations that are performed to perform an operation. The primitive operation is performed by the network interface card and a trigger signal is generated in response to performing the primitive operation. The trigger signal is interpreted to identify a triggered message. The triggered message identifies a next one of the plurality of primitive operations to be performed. The triggered message is transmitted back to the network interface card or to another network interface card in the network for processing. |
