The invention defines a plurality of modes of executing the
request handler, and the modes of executing the request handler
are dynamically adjusted based on the number of requests received
within a predetermined interval.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. In an information handling system in which one or more
requesters issue requests to a request handler executing on a
processor resource, a method of dynamically controlling the
execution of said request handler on said processor resource,
comprising the steps of:
defining a plurality of modes of executing said request
handler on said processor resource, said modes having differing
amounts of utilization of said processor resource;
initially selecting one of said modes of executing said
request handler on said processor resource;
determining the number of requests received from said
requesters within a predetermined interval while executing said
request handler in a selected mode; and
transitioning between said modes of executing said request
handler in accordance with said number of requests received
within said predetermined interval in said selected mode.
