Abstract: A network device (ND) includes packet processing circuitry and performance optimization circuitry. The packet processing circuitry is connected to a network and is configured to process communication packets for communicating over the network. The packet processing circuitry includes a plurality of configuration registers for setting one or more operation parameters of the ND. The performance optimization circuitry is configured to improve a performance measure of the ND by iteratively calculating the performance measure and adjusting values of one or more of the configuration registers based on the performance measure.

Abstract: An apparatus includes operational circuitry and Hardware Diagnostics Circuitry (HDC). The HDC is configured to receive a definition of multiple trigger rules, each trigger rule specifying a respective trigger event as a function of trigger data sources in the operational circuitry, to receive a definition of (i) a pre-trigger logging set selected from among a plurality of diagnostics data sources in the operational circuitry, and (ii) for each trigger rule, a respective post-trigger logging set including a set of one or more of the diagnostics data sources, and, during operation of the operational circuitry, to log the diagnostics data sources in the pre-trigger logging set, to log the trigger data sources and to repeatedly evaluate the trigger rules, and, in response to triggering of a given trigger event by a given trigger rule, to start logging the diagnostics data sources in the post-trigger logging set of the given trigger rule.

Abstract: Apparatus for communications includes a CPU, a system memory, and a network interface controller (NIC), which is configured to receive incoming data packets from a network, to post the received data packets in a designated queue for delivery to the CPU. The NIC issues interrupts to the CPU in response to the incoming data packets at a rate determined, for the designated queue, in accordance with an interrupt moderation parameter that is set for the queue. During each of a succession of monitoring periods, the CPU measures for the designated queue a current throughput of the incoming data packets and a current rate of interrupts, makes a comparison between the current measured throughput and rate of interrupts to the throughput and rate of interrupts that were measured during a preceding period in the succession, and selects and applies an update to the interrupt moderation parameter responsively to the comparison.

Abstract: A startup sequence in a computer system is initiated by detecting a bus reset event in an I/O device connected to a host, and responsively to the bus reset event communicating resources required to be allocated by the host. When a startup command from a host driver is not received within a predetermined bus reset count, the device autonomously changes its current configuration to a safe mode configuration, wherein fewer resources are required to be allocated relative to the current configuration. The safe mode configuration is communicated from the device to the host.
