Researchers in Purdue’s Department of Computer Science have developed a new method that does not use polling — a system that devotes an entire central processing unit to checking and routing traffic. This method is often inefficient, and the CPU could be better used for other tasks. Wasted CPU cores are extremely important for data centers and cloud computing, and this discovery is expected to be adopted by CPU manufacturers to make data centers more efficient.
