摘要： A fluid-cooled computer system includes a plurality of heat-generating components and a cooling system configured for supplying a cooling fluid at a controlled cooling fluid flow rate to cool the heat-generating components. A temperature-based cooling control circuit includes a temperature sensor configured for sensing a temperature of the heat-generating components and control logic for increasing a cooling fluid flow rate in response to the temperature exceeding a temperature threshold. A power-based cooling control circuit is configured for identifying and quantifying an increasing power consumption trend over a target time interval and, during a period that the temperature of the electronic device does not exceed the temperature threshold, increasing a cooling fluid flow rate to the electronic device in response to the magnitude of the increasing power consumption trend exceeding a power threshold. In one option, the fluid-cooled computer system is a server and the heat-generating components include a processor.

摘要： A computer-implemented method comprises accessing historical operating data for a unit of information technology equipment, wherein the historical operating data includes power consumption, fan speed, inlet air temperature, workload, and any processor throttling events at various points in time. The method further comprises receiving user input selecting a fan speed, and using the historical operating data to determine a performance impact that is expected from operating the unit at the selected fan speed, where the power consumption is a proxy for performance. The estimated performance impact of the selected fan speed and one or more alternative fan speeds is then displayed.

摘要： One embodiment provides a method of managing power in a computer system. A device of the computer system is operated at a selected power-state. The power consumption of the computer system is monitored. If the power consumption of the computer system is approaching or has exceeded a power cap selected for the computer system, then a request to reduce the power-state for the device is generated in response. The operating system is used to service the request to reduce the power-state according to the priority of the request. The reduced power state is forced out-of-band following the request to reduce the power-state if the request is not immediately serviceable by the operating system. Different approaches can be taken to force the reduced power state, using, for example, system management mode or a platform environment control interface.

摘要： A method and system for providing performance estimations for a specified power budget provides an indication of the impact on processing performance when closed-loop power/performance control is employed to meet the specified power budget. A workload, which may be the actual workload, or a test workload is run to determine actual power consumption at intervals during the execution of the workload. The power values are examined and if they exceed the specified budget, which may be one of multiple possible budget values, an estimate of the amount by and duration for which the closed-loop power/performance control would have to reduce the performance of the system for each interval in order to provide an estimate of actual performance for the budgetary level(s). The estimate is informed by tests of the workload at each power/performance level to provide a non-linear estimate of the relationship between performance and power for the particular workload.

摘要： A histogram difference method and system for power/performance measurement and management has low data storage requirements while supporting multiple monitoring applications having different update rates. Histogram data for power usage and/or performance mode is collected at a predetermined rate and the histogram data is read out at periodic intervals by the monitoring applications. The monitoring applications subtract the histogram data from previously read histogram data set to determine a interval difference histogram. The minimum and maximum values for the interval are the lowest-valued and highest-valued bin in the interval difference histogram that have a count greater than zero. The average value for the interval is the mean of the interval difference histogram. A conservative bound of the maximum and minimum values for a system can be determined by adding the values of the maximum and minimum values determined for each subsystem in the system.
