Systems and methods for spillover in a multi-core system

摘要

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for spillover threshold management in a multi-core system. A pool manager divides the spillover threshold limit of connections for vServers into an exclusive quota pool and a shared quota pool. Each vServer operating on a core is allocated an exclusive number of connections from the exclusive quota pool. If a vServer wishes to create connections beyond its exclusive number, the vServer can borrow from the shared quota pool. When the vServers are using at least a first predetermined threshold of their exclusive number of connections and the number of available connections in the shared quota pool has reached a second predetermined threshold, the multi-core system establishes a backup vServer.

1. A method of allocating a number of a uses of a resource across cores in a multi-core device based on a threshold, the method comprising:
(a) identifying, by a pool manager of a device comprising a plurality of cores, a threshold for a number of uses of a resource by the device; (b) establishing, by the pool manager, an exclusive quota pool based on the threshold, the exclusive quota pool comprising a predetermined exclusive number of uses of the resource for the device; and (c) allocating, by the pool manager, to each core of the plurality of cores an exclusive number of uses of the resource from the exclusive quota pool.
