SynIC Messages

The hypervisor provides an inter-partition communication facility that allows one partition to send a parameterized message to another partition. Because the message is sent asynchronously, it is said to be posted. The destination partition can be notified of the arrival of this message through an interrupt.

The following sections describe SynIC messages:
