Abstract
A method for binding input/output (I/O) objects to nodes. The method includes receiving, by an I/O Subsystem, a request to use an I/O device from a process, determining a first resource to service the request, and generating a first I/O object corresponding to the first resource. The method includes sending the first I/O object to a NUMA I/O Framework, obtaining a first I/O object effective load from the first I/O object, and obtaining a first I/O load capacity of a first NUMA node of a plurality of NUMA nodes. The method includes comparing the first I/O load capacity and the first I/O object effective load, selecting the first NUMA node based on a determination that the first I/O load capacity is greater than the first I/O object effective load, binding the first I/O object to the first NUMA node, and processing the first resource corresponding to the first I/O object.
