摘要： There is a need for applying an appropriate QoS setting to a complex information platform apparatus capable of flexibly changing an apparatus configuration so as to ensure an intra-apparatus communication band and realize management communication independence. Multiple processing modules are combined to construct one or more processing units with different apparatus types. An apparatus template management table prepares multiple levels of setting specifications with different ensured bands for intra-apparatus communication corresponding to each apparatus type. One set of setting specification is selected from multiple levels of setting specifications prepared for an apparatus type settled at the time of configuration setting. A QoS setting management table is generated based on the selected setting specification. When the configuration is set or changed, setting verification means verifies whether or not a total of ensured bands associated with each adapter is within an allowable range. When a result is negative, the setting specification is automatically changed to another provided with a smaller ensured band. A verified setting is distributed from the QoS setting management table to an IO switch and each adapter.

摘要： An IO adapter for guaranteeing the data transfer bandwidth on each capsule interface when multiple capsule interfaces jointly share the DMA engine of the IO adapter. An IO driver containing a capsule interface information table including bandwidth information and for setting the forming status of a pair of capsule interfaces and, during data transfer subdivides the descriptors for the capsule interfaces into multiple groups for each data buffer size satisfying the preset bandwidth information and, copies one group at each fixed sample time set by the descriptor registration means, into the descriptor ring and performs DMA transfer. To control this copy information, the IO driver contains a ring scheduler information table for managing the number of descriptor entries for the capsule interface cycle time and, a ring scheduler cancel means for renewing the entries in the ring scheduler information table each time one transmission of the descriptor group ends.
