Dynamic activation and deactivation of data processing unit ports by data reduction ratio (drr) forecasting

A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing data processing units (DPU) ports in a DPU, the method, comprising:

• receiving, at a multi-variant time series (MVTS) system, first data on input/output (I/O) statistics on a host adapter;
• receiving, at the MVTS system, second data from the DPU, wherein:
• the second data comprises a status and power consumption of each DPU port of the DPU, and
• the DPU comprises a first DPU port and a second DPU port that have a first status of activated and a third DPU port and a fourth DPU port that have a second status of deactivated;
• after receiving the first data and the second data, forming, with the MVTS system, an activation schedule for each DPU port in the DPU with the first data and the second data as inputs, wherein the activation schedule specifies whether any given DPU port is activated or deactivated over a series of time periods;
• and
• deactivating, at a first time period, the second DPU port, wherein the activation schedule specifies that during the first time period the first DPU port is activated and the second DPU port, the third DPU port, and the fourth DPU port are deactivated.

A computing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a data processing unit (DPU);
• a storage comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor perform a method, the method comprising:
• receiving, at a multi-variant time series (MVTS) system, first data on input/output (I/O) statistics on a host adapter;
• receiving, at the MVTS system, second data from the DPU, wherein:
• the second data comprises a status and power consumption of each DPU port of the DPU, and
• the DPU comprises a first DPU port and a second DPU port that have a first status of activated and a third DPU port and a fourth DPU port that have a second status of deactivated;
• after receiving the first data and the second data, forming, with the MVTS system, an activation schedule for each DPU port in the DPU with the first data and the second data as inputs, wherein the activation schedule specifies whether any given DPU port is activated or deactivated over a series of time periods;
• and
• deactivating, at a first time period, the second DPU port, wherein the activation schedule specifies that during the first time period the first DPU port is activated and the second DPU port, the third DPU port, and the fourth DPU port are deactivated.
