DYNAMICALLY ASSIGNING VIRTUAL FUNCTIONS TO CLIENT APPLICATIONS

摘要

A computer-implemented method may include determining a number of virtual functions that each port of a hardware input/output adapter is capable of supporting. The computer-implemented method may include assigning a first portion of internal resources of the hardware input/output adapter to each port of the hardware input/output adapter. The computer-implemented method may also include, for a particular port of the hardware input/output adapter, assigning a second portion of the internal resources to each virtual function that the particular port is capable of supporting. The second portion of the internal resources may be a subset of the first portion of the internal resources. The computer-implemented method may further include configuring a virtual function prior to a runtime to use the assigned second portion of the internal resources.
