These are really useful papers but I am looking for models that provide seamless integration of two devices (Network device and Shared Memory device) into one hybrid device.

<div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Idea is to use to use Network Device for establishing network communication between nodes and Shared memory device should be responsible for Intra-node communication on each multi-core machine. Shared Memory device is implemented using Multi-threading approach. Both Network and Shared Memory device are in working state independently.</font></div>
