just as a side-note: what you call RMI is what I'd call Active Message
and I fully agree that this is one key technology to reach good
scalability for a class of applications (I was mostly thinking of
irregular applications but your point is an excellent addition).
However, if your problem is static (enough), you could establish
channels upfront (e.g., sparse matrix vector in Krylov subspace
methods).

Best,
