Abstract
Examples described herein relate to a network interface device. In some examples, the network interface device includes circuitry to: based on a request to process data by a particular operation: determine available hardware resources, where the available hardware resources include a hardware resource in a reduced power state, and select a hardware resource among the available hardware resources based on a data processing measurement for the particular operation.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a network interface device comprising:
- direct memory access (DMA) circuitry,
- a network interface,
- a host interface,
- an interface, and
- circuitry to:
- for a packet flow, determine available hardware resources, wherein the available hardware resources include a hardware resource in a reduced power state and
- based on receipt of a packet of the packet flow comprising data to process by a particular operation, select a hardware resource in the reduced power state to process the data based on the data processing measurement.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, that if executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- configure a network interface device to:
- based on receipt of a packet with data to process by a particular operation:
- determine available hardware resources, wherein the available hardware resources include a hardware resource in a reduced power state device and
- select a hardware resource among the available hardware resources based on a data processing measurement for the particular operation.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- at a network interface device:
- based on a request to process data by a particular operation:
- determining available hardware resources, wherein the available hardware resources include a hardware resource in a reduced power state and
- selecting a hardware resource among the available hardware resources based on a data processing measurement for the particular operation.
