摘要： A method for co-operative thermal management of a number of independent electronic devices housed within a common enclosure that includes designating a priority number and measuring a temperature for each of the independent electronic devices. Next, for each of the independent electronic devices, the measured temperature is evaluated to determine if it exceeds a threshold value for the independent electronic device. If the measured temperature exceeds a threshold value, a count-down value is initialize to the designated priority number of the independent electronic device. Following which, the count-down value is evaluated to determine if it is equal to zero. If the count-down value is equal to zero, the independent electronic device is powered down. However, if the count-down value is not equal to zero, a specified time interval is allowed to expire before the count-down value is decremented and re-evaluated to determine if it is equal to zero.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomously determining a set of destinations. A landmark module stores a plurality of landmarks from a database. An identification module identifies a first current location and direction of the vehicle. In response to receiving a help command from the help button, a destination module determines a first set of destinations from the plurality of landmarks, the first current location, and the first current direction. A prompt module audibly prompts a driver to navigate the vehicle to the first set of destinations. A navigation module determines if the driver is navigating towards the first direction. In response to the driver not navigating the vehicle toward at least one destination of the first set of destinations, the navigation module may direct the identification module to identify a second current location and direction of the vehicle and the destination module to determine a second set of destinations.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided for controlling sound level of a computer system within a selected zone. In one embodiment, the sound level within an enclosed space is detected and an electronic signal representative of the sound level is generated in response. The presence of one or more person within the enclosed space is detected, and an electronic signal is generated responsive to the detected presence. The airflow rate and processor load are both decreased in response to the detected presence when the sound level exceeds a predefined sound-level setpoint.

摘要： A method and system for identifying compatibility between firmware images. The method for identifying compatibility between firmware images includes analyzing a control block of each of the firmware images, where each of the control blocks includes a firmware family code and a compatibility table of a firmware image associated with the control block. Next, the method determines if the firmware family codes of the firmware images are the same and whether any of the compatibility table entries pertain to either firmware image. Generally, if the firmware family codes are the same, the firmware images are considered compatible, however, if the firmware family codes are different, the firmware images are considered to be incompatible, unless a compatibility table entry indicates otherwise.

摘要： A data processing system and method analyze the performance of its components by obtaining measures of usage of the components over time as well as electrical requirements of those components to recommend an optimal configuration. The location in the system and the time duration that any one or more components is in a performance-limiting or bottleneck condition is determined. Based on the observed bottlenecks, their times of occurrence and their time duration, more optimal configurations of the system are recommended. The present invention is particularly adapted for use in data processing systems where a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus is used.

摘要： A variable group power limit is enforced to limit the net power consumption of a group of devices in a computer system, and a variable device power limit enforced on each device is independently adjustable to satisfy the current group power limit. The device power limits are dynamically selected according to a power management method that selectively reduces the device power limits of lower-utilization devices and increases the device power limits of higher-utilization devices.

摘要： Thermal diagnostic systems and methods are provided for improved detection of airflow anomalies in a computer system. In particular, processor load is selectively increased to amplify the effects caused by any airflow anomaly that may be present in the computer system. Workload migration may be used to shift processor load from another node to a target node. Artificial load may also be generated on the target node. The processor load increased to a level sufficient that an airflow anomaly would cause a detectable temperature difference at the selected node. The processor load may be increased by an amount computed to generate this detectable temperature difference. Alternatively, the processor load may be increased by a predetermined amount of between 40% and 100% of full processor utilization. While at the increased processor load, actual temperature sensed by temperature sensors may be compared to temperatures predicted from the model to detect the presence or absence of an airflow anomaly.

摘要： A system and method for implementing a system optimizer utilized to determine if a current configuration of a data processing system is optimized for system performance according to testing criteria. If the current configuration is not optimized, alternate configurations are generated and analyzed to find at least one optimized alternate configuration. If an optimized alternate configuration is found, the system optimizer notifies a user. However, if at least one optimized alternate configuration is not found, the testing criteria is altered and the set of generated alternate configurations are analyzed utilizing the altered testing criteria.
