First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mail dispatch system for a computer subsystem having at least one data processing server, comprising:
- an interface device configurable to electrically couple to the server, the device having an input/output (I/O) port for sending and receiving information; and
a mail dispatch module operable on the interface device, wherein the module includes a mail dispatch algorithm for identifying a first number of data processing servers, identifying a second number of I/O ports, and calculating an optimal mail dispatch unit based on the first and the second numbers.

Abstract
A mail dispatch system for a computer subsystem has at least one data processing server. An interface device is configurable to electrically couple to the server. The device has an input/output (I/O) port for sending and receiving information A mail dispatch module is adapted to be operable on the interface device. The module includes a mail dispatch algorithm adapted to identify a first number of data processing servers, identify a second number of I/O ports and calculate an optimal mail dispatch unit based on the first and the second numbers.

8. A method of mail dispatch in a computer subsystem having Task Control Blocks (TCBs), comprising:
-
identifying first and second configurations taken at first and second predetermined times, the first and second configurations being representative of a number of active servers and a number of active input/output (I/O) ports of the computer subsystem; and
comparing the first and second configurations, wherein if the first configuration differs from the second configuration the method further includes initializing a minimum dispatch unit to a first value representative of the number of active servers in the computer subsystem, initializing a maximum dispatch unit to a second value representing the number of active servers and the number of active input/output (I/O) ports, identifying a first number of active TCBs, and setting an effective dispatch unit to the first value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 13, 14)

11. A computer program product usable with a programmable computer processor having a computer readable program code embodied therein, comprising:
-
computer readable program code which identifies first and second configurations of a computer system;
computer readable program code which initializes a minimum dispatch unit representative of a number of active servers in the computer system;
computer readable program code which initializes a maximum dispatch unit representative of the number of servers and a number of active input/output (I/O) ports in the computer system;
computer readable program code which identifies first and second numbers of active Task Control Blocks (TCBs);
computer readable program code which compares the first configuration with the second configuration; and
computer readable program code which calculates an optimal dispatch unit using a mail dispatch algorithm. - View Dependent Claims (12)
