摘要:
A method and apparatus for managing core affinity for network packet processing is provided. Low-power idle state of a plurality of processing units in a system including the plurality of processing units is monitored. Network packet processing is dynamically reassigned to processing units that are in a non-low power idle state to increase the low-power idle state residency for processing units that are in a low-power idle state resulting in reduced energy consumption.

A method for managing an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cell includes transmitting an ATM cell from a server system to a broadband modem. The ATM cell is forwarded from the broadband modem to a client system.
摘要:
Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with file compression and transmission, or file reception and decompression. Specifically, one or more compression/decompression or transmission/reception parameters associated with transmission or reception may be identified. Based on the identified parameters, energy consumption of compression and transmission, or reception and decompression, of the data over a wireless communication link may be predicted. Based on that prediction, a compression configuration may be identified. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
摘要:
In general, in one aspect, a method includes determining a repeated, periodic DMA (Direct Memory Access) coalescing interval based, at least in part, on a power sleep state of a host platform. The method also includes buffering data received at the device in a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue during the interval and DMA-ing the data enqueued in the FIFO to a memory external to the device after expiration of the repeated, periodic DMA coalescing interval.

摘要:
An embodiment may include network controller circuitry that may be comprised, at least in part, in a host computer. The circuitry may determine, at least in part, based at least in part upon at least one comparison, whether at least one power management action is to be initiated. The at least one comparison may compare, at least in part, at least one pattern with at least one portion of at least one packet received, at least in part, by the host computer. The at least one power management action may include the modification, at least in part, of at least one power management configuration of the host computer. The modification may accommodate, at least in part, at least one packet processing latency policy associated, at least in part, with the at least one pattern. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system are provided for transmitting an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell from a server system to a broadband modem and forwarding the ATM cell from the broadband modem to a client system. According to one embodiment, a Broadband Modem Access Protocol (BMAP) unit is used to discover the identity of the broadband modem.
