    摘要: An interrupt redirection and coalescing system for a multi-processor computer. Devices interrupt a processor or group of processors using pre-defined message address and data payloads communicated with a memory write transaction over a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI Express bus. The efficiency of processing may be improved by combining multiple interrupt notifications into a single interrupt message to a processor. For some interrupts on a multi-processor computer, such as those signaling completion of an input/output (I/O) operation assigned to a device, the efficiency of processing the interrupt may vary from processor to processor. Processing efficiency and overall computer system operation may be improved by appropriately coalescing interrupt messages within and/or across a plurality of queues, where interrupts are queued on the basis of which processor they target.

    摘要: An efficient interrupt system for a multi-processor computer. Devices interrupt a processor or group of processors using pre-defined message address and data payload communicated with a memory write transaction over a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI Express bus. The devices are configured with messages that each targets a processor. Upon receiving a command to perform an operation, the device may receive an indication of a preferred message to use to interrupt a processor upon completion of that operation. The efficiency with which each interrupt is handled and the overall efficiency of operation of the computer is increased by defining messages for the devices within the computer so that each device contains messages targeting processors distributed across groups of processors, with each group representing processors in close proximity. In selecting target processors for messages, processors are selected to spread processing across the processor groups and across processors within each group.
