Designed for Multi-Core Processors
These dual- and quad-port adapters provide high-performing,
multi-port Gigabit connectivity in a multi-core platform as well
as in a virtualized environment. In a multi-core platform, the
adapters support different technologies such
as multiple queues, receive-side scaling, MSI-X, and Low
Latency Interrupts, that help in accelerating the data across
the platform, thereby improving application response times.

The I/O technologies on a multi-core platform make use of the
multiple queues and multiple interrupt vectors available on the
network controller. These queues and interrupt vectors help in
load balancing the data and interrupts amongst themselves in
order to lower the load on the processors and improve overall
system performance. For example, depending upon the latency
sensitivity of the data, the low level latency interrupts feature
can bypass the time interval for specific TCP ports or for flagged
packets to give certain types of data streams the least amount
of latency to the application.
