摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for virtualizing internet protocol (IP) addresses in terminal server sessions. A client component comprises a layer service provider (LSP) and a name service provider (NSP) that intercept a socket call to associate a port with a socket for a terminal server session. The client component queries a server component for a virtual IP address, and the server component determines whether the terminal server session can use a virtual IP address. Where the session can use a virtual IP address, the server returns a virtual IP address and the client component binds the socket call to the virtual IP address. Where the session cannot use a virtual IP address, the server returns an indication of that, and the client component acts as a proxy for that socket call and any future calls for that socket.

Embodiments that facilitate the fair and dynamic distribution of central processing unit (CPU) time are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, a method includes organizing one or more processes into one or more groups. The method further includes allocating a CPU time interval for each group. The allocation of a CPU time interval for each group is accomplished by equally distributing a CPU cycle based on the number of groups. The method also includes adjusting the allocated CPU time intervals based on a change in the quantity of the one or more groups.

Embodiments that facilitate the fair and dynamic distribution of disk input/output (IO) bandwidth are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, the method includes organizing one or more disk IO time intervals into one or more queues. The method further includes allocating a disk IO time interval to each queue. The allocation of a disk IO time interval to each queue is accomplished by equally distributing a disk IO cycle based on the number of queues. The one or more disk IO requests are then processed during the corresponding disk IO time interval.

Offloading specific processing tasks that would otherwise be performed in a computer system's processor and memory, to a peripheral device. The computing task is then performed by the peripheral, thereby saving computer system resources for other computing tasks. In one preferred embodiment, the disclosed method is utilized in a layered network model, wherein computing tasks that are typically performed in network applications are instead offloaded to the network interface card (NIC) peripheral.

A method to offload a network stack connection is presented. A request, which includes a list of resource requirements from each software layer in the stack, to offload the network stack connection is sent through the stack to the peripheral device. The device allocates resources for the list and sends a handle to each of the software layers for communication with the device. The state for each layer is sent to the device that includes state variables that are classified as a constant, a cached variable handled by the CPU, or a delegated variable handled by the device.

A method to offload a network stack connection is presented. A request, which includes a list of resource requirements from each software layer in the stack, to offload the network stack connection is sent through the stack to the peripheral device. The peripheral device is a second processor that processes the offloaded network stack connection in software, in hardware, or a mixture of hardware and software. The device allocates resources for the list and sends a handle to each of the software layers for communication with the device. The state for each layer is sent to the device that includes state variables that are classified as a constant, a cached variable handled by the CPU, or a delegated variable handled by the device.

摘要:
A mapping between virtual processing units and physical processing units allows for an increase or decrease in the number of physical processing units installed in a computing device without disrupting the computing device's network communications. At startup, each of the virtual processing units can be allocated the necessary network communication management structures for supporting network communication. The networking subsystem can continue to use the virtual processing units as it would physical processing units, namely packets can be routed through the appropriate processing unit. However, because the networking subsystem is only aware of the virtual processing units, the mapping between the virtual processing units and the physical processing units can continually adjust for changes in the number of physical processing units installed, allowing the number of installed physical processing units to be modified without affecting the operation of the networking subsystem or ongoing network communications.
