  Abstract

Multi-processor system with fast I/O devices improves processing performance and reduces the bottleneck by I/O concentration. In the system, the performance influenced by shared memory used for exchanging data between processors varies with configuration and utilization. This paper suggests a prediction model for buffer and shared memory optimization under interrupt recognition method using mailbox. Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) packets are used as the input of system and the amount of utilized memory is measured for different network bandwidth and burstiness. Some empirical studies show that the amount of buffer and shared memory varies with packet concentration rate as well as I/O bandwidth. And the studies also show the correlation between two memories.
