Abstract
A system and method of adaptively reconfiguring a pool of buffers are provided. The buffers are initially configured to a size (i.e., a current size). Each time data is placed in the buffers by an application program, it is determined whether the size of the data is greater than the current size of the buffers. If the size of the data is greater than the current size of the buffers, the buffers are reconfigured to the size of the data if the number of times data of that size is stored in the buffers is greater than a first threshold. If, however, the size of the data is smaller than the current size of the buffers, the buffers may be reconfigured to the size of the data if the number of times data of that size is stored in the buffers is smaller than a second threshold.
