  • TECHNIQUE FOR CONTROLLING SELECTION OF A PEEK ADAPTER OR A READ ADAPTER FROM MULTIPLE ADAPTERS OF A HIGH SPEED SWITCH
    Publication number: 20080031274
    Abstract: A technique is provided for facilitating peeking and reading of messages from multiple adapters connected, for example, to a high speed switch in a distributed computing environment. The technique employs a first, relatively quick filter to initially test whether a previously used adapter of the multiple adapters should be used to peek or read a new message. If the first filter fails to select the previously used adapter, then the technique includes employing a second, more complicated filter to determine which adapter of the multiple adapters should be used to peek or read the next message. The first filter includes a first set of tests, and the second filter includes a second set of tests.

  • TECHNIQUE FOR CONTROLLING SELECTION OF A WRITE ADAPTER FROM MULTIPLE ADAPTERS CONNECTED TO A HIGH SPEED SWITCH
    Publication number: 20060271711
    Abstract: A technique is provided for facilitating writing of messages to multiple adapters connected to a high speed switch in a distributed computing environment. The technique employs a first, relatively quick filter to initially test whether a previously used adapter of the multiple adapters should be used to send a new message.

The first filter includes a first set of tests, and the second filter includes a second set of tests.
