lat_fifo  is  a  client/server program that measures interprocess communication latencies.  The benchmark
       passes a message back and forth between the two processes (this sort of benchmark is frequently  referred
       to  as  a ``hot potato'' benchmark).  No other work is done in the processes.  The message is passed back
       and forth using FIFOs.
