SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC ADAPTIVE MACHINE

摘要

A Dynamic Adaptive Machine (DAM) classifies a received packet into a packet group and selects an initial level of processing for that group based on, at least in part, a measure of load of the system for processing the packet. The DAM continues to monitor the system load and re-computes the load measure, and increases or decreases the processing level according to the load measure. The DAM considers one or more processing states and, after an increase in the processing level, ignores for a certain grace period any errors generated at the higher level of processing, to minimize false positive errors.

主权项

1. A dynamically configurable module, comprising a controller to:
designate a first operational level to a packet group, based on a first measure of a load, the first operational level being selected from a plurality of operational levels, the plurality of operational levels comprising a full operational level and a set of distinct partial operational levels; configure a processing engine to process the group according to the first operational level; if the first operational level is not the full operational level and if a second measure of the load represents less load than the first measure:
designate a second operational level to the packet group, based on the second measure of the load, the second operational level also being selected from the plurality of operational levels, at least a partial processing corresponding to the second operational level being greater than a partial processing corresponding to the first operational level;reconfigure the processing engine according to the second operational level; anddetermine a state of the processing engine based on the first and second operational levels.
