    摘要: Automatically determining a link speed between link partners using a multispeed fiber module. An embodiment solves the problem of how to determine the highest common link speed between short range (SR)/long range (LR) fiber link partners when at least one of the link partners is using a multispeed fiber module. In an embodiment, a multispeed fiber module comprises a module that is capable of both 10 gigabit (GB) per second Ethernet and 1 GB per second Ethernet or lesser data transfer speeds over a fiber optical link. In an embodiment, the method comprises trying each link speed in a known succession, from highest supported speed to lowest supported speed. In an embodiment, an initiator link partner “blinks” a transmit laser, which alerts the link partners that a link speed determination session is being initiated. By automatically determining link speed, the user is relieved of the necessity to manually configure the link speed.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and systems for facilitating effective power management through dynamic reconfiguration of interrupts. Interrupt vectors are mapped to various processor cores in a multi-core processor, and interrupt workloads on the processor cores are monitored. When an interrupt workload for a given processor core is detected to fall below a threshold, the interrupt vectors are dynamically reconfigured by remapping interrupt vectors that are currently mapped to the processor core to at least one other processor core, such that there are no interrupt vectors mapped to the processor core after reconfiguration. The core is then enabled to be put in a deeper idle state. Similar operations can be applied to additional processor cores, effecting a collapsing of interrupt vectors onto fewer processor cores. In response to detecting cores emerging from idle states, reconfiguration of interrupt vectors can be performed to rebalance the assignment of the vectors across active cores by remapping a portion of the vectors to those cores.
