Interrupt Driven Communication: A system in which messages arriving at a node cause an interruption in the flow of the program executing there. The system (or user program) must handle the incoming message before returning to the place where the interrupt occured.
-
Active messages and Java RMI - Remote Method Invocation (UNIX RPC) are implemented this way

The BSP (Bulk Synchronization ) system uses this.
