The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Systems and methods (including hardware and software) are disclosed for us in a multi-core, multi-socket server with many RDMA network adapters and NVME solid state drives. One of the features of the subject matter is to optimize the total IO throughput of the system by first replacing software locks with non-interruptible event handlers running on specific CPU cores that own individual software data structures and hardware queues, and second by moving work to that CPU affinity without stalling due to software lock overhead.”
