  • Patent number: 11558244
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may improve the performance of multi-processor systems in processing information received via a network. For example, some embodiments may enable configuration of a system such that information received via a network may be distributed among multiple processors for efficient processing. A user (e.g., system administrator) may select from among multiple configuration options, each configuration option being associated with a particular mode of processing information received via a network. By selecting a configuration option, the user may specify how information received via the network is processed to capitalize on the system's characteristics, such as by aligning processors on the system with certain NICs. As such, the processor(s) aligned with a NIC may perform networking-related tasks associated with information received by that NIC.

As such, the processor(s) aligned with a NIC may perform networking-related tasks associated with information received by that NIC. If initial alignment causes one or more processors to become over-burdened, processing tasks may be dynamically re-distributed to other processors.

  • Patent number: 9736243
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing multiple transaction logs in a distributed storage system are provided. A log stream component detects performance metrics of a plurality of log streams. The performance metrics are associated with requests from partitions in the distributed storage system. A transaction component receives a request to execute a transaction using a log stream. The request is received from a partition of the distributed storage system. The performance metrics of the plurality of log streams can be referenced, where the performance metrics indicate a performance capacity of a selected log stream to process the request. A log stream for executing the transaction is determined based on the performance capacity. The log stream selected can also factor request attributes of the request. The transaction component communicates the request to be executed, using the log stream to perform the transaction.
