SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC BURST LENGTH TRANSFERS

摘要

A system for performing dynamic burst transfers between a first computer system (102) and a second computer system (124) includes monitoring time delay associated with communicating messages between the first computer system and the second computer system (304). Contention for resources in at least one of the first computer system and the second computer system can also be monitored (306). A transfer mode indicating whether data should be transferred in one message or multiple messages between the first and second computer systems is determined based on the time delay and/or the level of contention for resources (308).
