NETWORK INTERFACE CARD HAVING VARIABLE SIZED VIRTUAL FUNCTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17930740 titled 'NETWORK INTERFACE CARD HAVING VARIABLE SIZED VIRTUAL FUNCTIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a network interface card with a processor, resources, and multiple virtual functions. Each virtual function provides network access to a workload, and the processor allocates resources unevenly among the virtual functions.
- The network interface card has a processor, resources, and multiple virtual functions.
- Each virtual function provides network access to a workload.
- The processor allocates resources non-uniformly among the virtual functions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data centers, cloud computing environments, and networking infrastructure.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of efficiently allocating resources among multiple virtual functions on a network interface card.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved resource allocation, better network performance, and increased efficiency in handling workloads.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Resource Allocation in Network Interface Cards for Enhanced Network Performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an aspect, a network interface card having a processor, a set of resources, and a plurality of virtual functions is provided. Each virtual function of the network interface card is configured to provide network access to a workload. The processor of the network interface card is configured to allocate the set of resources among the plurality of virtual functions, and wherein the allocation of the set of resources is non-uniform across the plurality of virtual functions.
