Abstract
A method and system for dynamically allocating interrupt vectors on demand. A computer system measures a rate of activities associated with an event. Based on the rate of activities, the computer system determines whether to allocate a dedicated interrupt vector to the event. The rate of activities can be an interrupt request (IRQ) rate.
