摘要： Devices and techniques for out-of-band platform tuning and configuration are described herein. A device can include a telemetry interface to a telemetry collection system and a network interface to network adapter hardware. The device can receive platform telemetry metrics from the telemetry collection system, and network adapter silicon hardware statistics over the network interface, to gather collected statistics. The device can apply a heuristic algorithm using the collected statistics to determine processing core workloads generated by operation of a plurality of software systems communicatively coupled to the device. The device can provide a reconfiguration message to instruct at least one software system to switch operations to a different processing core, responsive to detecting an overload state on at least one processing core, based on the processing core workloads. Other embodiments are also described.

摘要： End-to-end data transfer between computing platforms in a transport control protocol (TCP) environment is improved by restricting which packets are stored in a receive memory of an input/output (I/O) circuit. In one embodiment, received packets are examined as to type, and the number of packets stored in the receive memory is monitored. If the number of stored packets exceeds a threshold value, then subsequently received data packets are discarded, whereas latency-sensitive priority data such as acknowledgements (ACKs) are retained in the receive memory, until the number of stored packets is reduced. Various methods, as well as application of the circuit to a system and to a machine-readable article, are also described.

摘要： An arrangement is provided for ingress processing optimization via traffic classification and grouping. A plurality of packets are classified according to a classification criterion. The classified packets are used to generate a packet bundle containing packets that are uniform with respect to the classification criterion. The packet bundle and its corresponding packet bundle descriptor are transferred to a host which then processes the packet bundle as a whole according to the information contained in the packet bundle descriptor.

摘要： A method of reducing a transmission rate includes determining whether a pause has been received. Whether a maximum of an inter-frame spacing (IFS) has been reached is determined if the pause has been received. The inter-frame spacing is increased by a value if the maximum of the inter-frame spacing has not been reached.

摘要： An interrupt processing apparatus, system, and article including a machine-accessible medium, along with a method of processing interrupts, implement interrupt processing in an efficient, parallel manner that reduces average interrupt latency. In one embodiment, the apparatus may include an interrupt receiver coupled to a plurality of interrupt handlers which respond to uniquely identified interrupting events. Responses may occur in an overlapping fashion in a multi-threaded environment. The system may include a processor coupled to a local memory and an interrupt receiver. Interrupt handlers, which may be coupled to the interrupt receiver, process uniquely identified interrupts. The method may include receiving multiple interrupts and executing corresponding interrupt handlers scheduled in response to receipt of the interrupts, with each handler being uniquely adapted to service a particular interrupting event.
