1. A method for improving the efficiency of interrupt delivery at runtime in a network system, comprising:

  • identifying with a device driver a processor affinity of an application at runtime, the application sending data to other users in the network system, the processor affinity including an identity of a processor that runs the application, wherein an operating system is configured to change the processor affinity of the application during runtime; and

    associating an interrupt generated by a network device upon sending out the data with the processor affinity of the application.
