In computing, an active message 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. For example, an active message may send not only the data "5" but also the function that determines what to do with that 5 (such as multiply it by 2). Active messages can be used to optimize network communications, such as reducing latency by removing software overheads associated with buffering and providing applications with direct user-level access to the network hardware.
