Patent number: 9471350Abstract: Methods, apparatus, software, and system architectures for supporting virtualized system migrations and scaling. Under aspects of a method, data is automatically collected and aggregated at multiple levels by a plurality of agents for each of multiple data centers. The data includes data relating to virtual machine utilization, data relating to electrical utilization costs, data relating to data center utilization, and data relating to triggers events. The data is processed to determine whether to migrate virtual servers from a first data center to a second data center. The software architecture includes a plurality of modules including a controller, data center profile, transition triggers, power cost profile, and virtual machine package module. The agents are implemented in an agent hierarchy and configured to collect data themselves and/or aggregate data from other agents and provide an API to facilitate access to collected data and agent services.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Chris Pavlas, Duke C.

Patent number: 9047417Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer platforms and architectures employing node aware network interfaces are disclosed. The methods and apparatus may be implemented on computer platforms such as those employing a Non-uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architecture including a plurality of nodes, each node comprising a plurality of components including a processor having at least one level of memory cache and being operatively coupled to system memory and operatively coupled to a NUMA aware Network Interface Controller (NIC). Under one method, a packet is received from a network at a first NIC comprising a component of a first node, and a determination is made that packet data for the packet is to be forwarded to a second node including a second NIC. The packet data is then forwarded from the first NIC to the second NIC via a NIC-to-NIC interconnect link. Upon being received at the second NIC, processing of the packet (data) is handled as if the packet was received from the network at the second NIC.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Patrick Conner, Chris Pavlas, Elizabeth M.

Patent number: 8977784Abstract: An embodiment may include circuitry to be comprised at least in part in a first host, and at least one process to be executed, at least in part, by the circuitry. The circuitry may comprise a first port and a second port. The at least one process may detect, at least in part, a first bandwidth condition of the first port, and may associate, at least in part, in response at least in part to the first bandwidth condition, the first port and the second port with a port team. The second port may have been, prior to being associated, at least in part, with the port team, in a relatively lower power state compared to a relatively higher power state. The second port may be in the relatively higher power state after the second port is associated, at least in part, with the port team.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Matthew A.
