摘要： Mechanisms are provided for utilizing a voiceprint to authorize a user to perform an operation restricted to authorized users. A voiceprint is stored in an audio attribute file and is associated with a user. Based on a comparison of this voiceprint and an utterance provided by the user, an identification of the user is accomplished. If the utterance matches the voiceprint, the user is permitted to access services or perform operations. The audio attribute file may be transmitted from one virtual environment to another based on the detected movement of the user's avatar between virtual environments. As such, the recipient computing device may use the audio attribute file to identify the user in the new virtual environment.

摘要： This invention discloses an intelligent framework for the overall management of energy allocated to components of a system. When conservation is desired or a shortage occurs, it is desirable to modulate energy to components, or to notify components and allow them to modulate themselves. It also discusses the establishment of a standard communications API between entities and components within the system. Among other things, this framework: manages device and entity enrollment into the system; provides an interface to heterogeneous devices; establishes standard communication methods between entities and components; dictates throttling to entities and components when conservation is required; and monitors energy throttling and compliance with modulate requests.

摘要： Methods, including service methods, articles of manufacture, systems, articles and programmable devices provide a conservation modeling engine framework. Programmable conservation modeling engines in communication with different customizable resource conservation modules, each resource conservation module customized to a distinct resource, select one of the modules customized to a resource identified for conservation, and user-defined criteria as a function of the identified resource and the selected module. Input data is selected and collected as a function of the resource identified and the selected module and used to weight the input data. Different optimized conservation plans are created as a function of the weighted input data and the selected module, each of the optimized conservation plans displayed having a different implementation cost, a different time for implementation and a different total amount of the identified resource saved.

摘要： This disclosure enables energy providers and users to establish variable pricing or maximum thresholds for individual components (aka appliances) or groups of components. The consumer (individual or business) defines a usage policy for each device or component which defines limits the consumer is willing to pay in a supply shortage. The usage policy also defines safety parameters as well as energy limiting capabilities of the appliance or component. Energy suppliers use this usage policy to determine which devices get managed or powered off in a shortage situation. With the detailed consumer supply and demand data available from this invention, energy providers may use economic analysis to better understand customer price sensitivity. This information will enable the provider to run simulations of different energy shortage scenarios.
摘要翻译：本公开使能源供应商和用户能够为单个组件（也称为电器）或组件组建立可变定价或最大阈值。消费者（个体或业务）为每个设备或组件定义使用策略，其定义消费者愿意在供应短缺中支付的限制。使用政策还定义了设备或组件的安全参数以及能量限制能力。能源供应商使用此使用政策来确定哪些设备在短缺情况下得到管理或关闭。根据本发明详细的消费者供求数据，能源供应商可以使用经济分析来更好地了解客户价格敏感性。该信息将使供应商能够运行不同能源短缺情景的模拟。

摘要： The selection of an optimal data center location for running a computational workload is based on multiple energy criteria. The location is chosen based on multivariate and predictive analysis of total direct and indirect energy costs, and other user-defined factors. Among the direct and indirect costs are power costs and cooling costs as well as structural and other details of a given data center. Among the other factors to be considered that can have an impact on present and future costs are weather patterns, data and forecasts, availability of energy providers, and energy attributes. A forecaster factors these direct and indirect costs along with extrinsic information such as historical trends and predictive sources into a forecast which is then input to a decision engine along with user defined criteria and with anticipated compute tasks and requirements to select a final location or locations for handling the workload.
摘要翻译：选择用于运行计算工作负载的最佳数据中心位置是基于多个能量标准。基于对直接和间接能源总成本以及其他用户定义因素的多变量和预测分析来选择位置。直接和间接成本包括电力成本和冷却成本以及给定数据中心的结构和其他细节。考虑到可能对当前和未来成本产生影响的其他因素包括天气模式，数据和预测，能源供应商的可用性和能源属性。预报员将这些直接和间接成本与外部信息（例如历史趋势和预测来源）相关联，将其输入到预测中，然后将预测输入到决策引擎以及用户定义的标准以及预期的计算任务和要求，以选择最终位置或位置处理工作量。

摘要： A consumer initiated automated and dynamic negotiation enables the consumer to obtain more beneficial rates and/or other terms between the consumer and one or more energy providers. The negotiation is based on anticipated computational processing requirements of the consumer, and the current energy costs being offered by each provider. Other elements such as the ability of the provider to timely supply the energy and the differential between the costs of traditional and green energy may also be factored in. The results of the negotiation can produce a shifting of all or part of the workload to another provider or an alternative geographical location to capitalize on lower power rates or conditions of delivery. The negotiation may be based on an auction between more than one competing energy supplier.
摘要翻译：消费者启动了自动化和动态的谈判，使消费者能够在消费者和一个或多个能源供应商之间获得更有利的价格和/或其他条款。谈判是基于消费者的预期计算处理要求，以及每个提供商提供的当前能源成本。供应商及时提供能源的能力以及传统和绿色能源成本之间差异的其他要素也可能被考虑在内。谈判结果可能导致全部或部分工作量转移到另一个供应商或替代地理位置，以利用较低的功率率或交付条件。谈判可能是基于一个竞争性能源供应商之间的拍卖。

摘要： A method and system for migrating source data from one or more databases to a destination database, wherein the destination database is selected based on power consumption of the destination database. A data migration server determines which destination database should be selected by selecting a number of candidates and comparing the power consumed, the available space and the maximum monthly power consumption limit. A user intervention policy is created to evaluate which data should be moved to a destination database. A “payback period” is calculated to determine the amount of time that will elapse before savings are realized.
摘要翻译：一种用于将源数据从一个或多个数据库迁移到目的地数据库的方法和系统，其中，基于目的地数据库的功耗来选择目的地数据库。数据迁移服务器通过选择多个候选人并比较功耗，可用空间和最大每月功耗限制来确定应选择哪个目标数据库。创建用户干预策略以评估哪些数据应该移动到目标数据库。计算“回收期”，以确定在实现节省之前经过的时间量。
