Abstract: Examples described herein relate to utilizing a bus driver to present a peripheral device comprising a single physical function to a host operating system (OS) as a plurality of peripheral devices, associating the plurality of presented peripheral devices with a corresponding plurality of physical Ethernet ports; and enabling the host OS to interact with the plurality of peripheral devices. In some examples, the number of the plurality of peripheral devices correlates to the number of physical Ethernet ports associated with the peripheral device.

Abstract: A method is described. The method includes respectively adding respective identifiers of respective queues that provide packets to a CPU to a list in response to the respective queues being deemed quiet. The method includes, as a consequence of an interrupt having been generated in response to one of the respective queues having received a packet, removing the respective identifiers from the list and executing respective poll service handlers for the respective queues. The method includes disabling those of the respective poll service handlers and adding those of the respective identifiers back to the interrupt cause list for those of the respective queues that are again deemed quiet, while, continuing executing others of the respective poll service handlers for others of the respective queues that are not deemed quiet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for data transmission at energy efficient rates. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a port for the transfer of data. The port has an active state in which the port may transmit or receive data and an inactive state in which the port does not transmit or receive data. The apparatus further includes logic to control the transfer of data. The logic places the port into the active state for a first time period for the transfer of data and places the port into the inactive state for a second time period. The logic further prevents transfer of data during the inactive state.

Abstract: In some embodiments access to a non-volatile memory is controlled. If a received code matches an unlock code, write access to the non-volatile memory is allowed. If the received code does not match the unlock code, write access to the non-volatile memory is not allowed. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
