IMPLEMENTING STORAGE ADAPTER PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION WITH ENHANCED RESOURCE POOL ALLOCATION

摘要

A method and controller for implementing storage adapter performance optimization with enhanced resource pool allocation, and a design structure on which the subject controller circuit resides are provided. The controller includes a plurality of hardware engines; a processor, and a plurality of resource pools. A plurality of work queues is associated with the resource pools. The processor initializes a list of types, and the associated amount of pages for each allocate type. The hardware engines maintain a count of allocate types, specifying a type on each allocation and deallocation, and performing allocation from the resource pools for deadlock avoidance.
