An Active message (in computing) is a messaging object capable of performing processing on its own. This contrasts with traditional computer-based messaging systems in which messages are passive entities with no processing power.Active messages are communications primitive for exploiting the full performance and flexibility of modern computer interconnects. They are often classified as one of the three main types of distributed memory programming, the other two being data parallel and message passing. The view is that Active Messages are actually a lower-level mechanism that can be used to implement data parallel or message passing efficiently.
