Abstract

Method of cooperative reduced power mode suspension for high input/output ('I/O') workloads, including: determining, by a transfer monitoring module, a size of a file to be transferred to a recipient, wherein the recipient includes a central processing unit ('CPU') operating in a reduced power mode; determining, by the transfer monitoring module, a desired transfer rate for transferring the file to the recipient; calculating, by the transfer monitoring module, an expected transfer completion time in dependence upon the size of the file and the desired transfer rate; and sending, by the transfer monitoring module, a message to the recipient requesting that the CPU suspend the reduced power mode in dependence upon the expected transfer completion time.
