  • Method, system, and article of manufacture for adjusting interrupt levels
    Patent number: 7065598
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture for adjusting interrupt levels. A current system interrupt rate at a computational device is determined, wherein the current system interrupt rate is a sum of interrupt rates from a plurality of interrupt generating agents. The current system interrupt rate is compared with at least one threshold interrupt rate associated with the computational device. Based on the comparison, an interrupt moderation level is adjusted at an interrupt generating agent of the plurality of interrupt generating agents.
