Abstract: The conventional way to notify the processor of a network event is through interrupts. Interrupts are more effective than polling for devices that generate unpredictable and infrequent events. Interrupts, however, incur a high overhead both during and after the interrupt handling because modern superscalar processors use long pipelines, out-of-order and speculative execution, and multi-level memory systems, all of which tend to increase the interrupt overhead in terms of clock cycles. In this... (Update)
