Abstract
A computer-implemented method can include receiving a queue depth for a receive queue of a network interface controller (NIC), determining whether a power state of a central processing unit (CPU) core mapped to the receive queue should be adjusted based on the queue depth, and adjusting the power state of the CPU core responsive to a determination that the power state of the CPU core should be adjusted.
