Dynamic cache-efficient event suppression for network function virtualization

A method, comprising,

• recording, by a system processor, a quantity of messages received from a client during an interval of time between at least two events of a plurality of events, wherein the system processor is in communication with a shared memory having a register with a first field, a second field, and a third field, wherein the system processor and the shared memory are included in a client-server system, wherein the shared memory is in communication with the client;
• predicting, by the system processor, whether an expected number of messages to be received from the client before a next event exceeds a first predetermined threshold value;
• selecting, by the system processor, based on the prediction, a value that is used to selectively operate the second field and the third field;
• selectively operating, by the system processor, the second field and the third field based on the selected value;
• and
• storing the value to the first field.

A computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a system processor that is in communication with a shared memory, causes the system processor to:

• record a quantity of messages received from a client during an interval of time between at least two events of a plurality of events, wherein the shared memory includes a register with a first field, a second field, and a third field, wherein the system processor and the shared memory are included in a client-server system, wherein the shared memory is in communication with the client;
• predict whether an expected number of messages to be received from the client before a next event exceeds a first predetermined threshold value;
• select based on the prediction, a value that is used to selectively operate the second field and the third field;
• selectively operate the second field and the third field based on the selected value;
• and
• store the value to the first field.
