摘要： A technique for providing information about the relationship between circuits and the amounts of power consumed by the respective circuits to control a heat-sensitive circuit with higher accuracy is disclosed. A decoder (6a) causes an ALU power evaluation counter (7a) to count when a control code applied thereto is not an ALU control code. The ALU power evaluation counter (7a) counts the number of control codes which do not operate an ALU (5a). A multiplier (14) multiplies the output from the ALU power evaluation counter (7a) by a predetermined number to provide the result to an adder (10). The adder (10) adds the results from multipliers (14-16) together to store the result in a total power evaluation register (11). The smaller the value stored in the total power evaluation register (11), the greater the amount of heat generated. A DRAM refresh control circuit (12) shortens a refresh cycle so that a DRAM (13) is frequently refreshed.

摘要： Two cooling functions are provided: one being reduction in operation speed of a CPU, and the other being rotation of a motor fan. The two cooling functions are selectively used in accordance with a cooling mode set by a user. When a "Quiet" mode is selected by the user, a mode giving a priority to low power consumption is set to make the battery operation time as long as possible. In this case, the motor fan is not rotated and only the CPU operation speed is lowered. On the other hand, when a "Performance" mode is selected by the user, a mode giving a priority to performance is set. In this case, the CPU operation speed is not lowered, and only the motor fan is rotated. The "Performance" mode and "Quiet" mode can be freely set by the user on a setup screen.

摘要： A method and apparatus is provided for logical steering of instructions or operations to avoid power related hot spots on a microprocessor. The instructions are distributed to one of multiple units located within different areas of the integrated circuit. Each of the multiple functional units are identical or perform substantially the same function in response to the instruction. Power dissipation is measured within each of the areas in which a functionally equivalent unit is located. If the power dissipation within an area exceeds a predetermined amount or value, a localized heating problem exists within the area. The instruction is dispatched or routed to one of the other functional units located within an area not experiencing a localized heating problem, thus reducing the possibility of catastrophic failure due to overheating, decreasing overall chip power dissipation, increasing chip reliability, and increasing throughput.

摘要： A fault tolerant computer system for powering up and powering down a server through either a local or remote client machine. The remote machine accesses the server by use of a dial-in modem connection. The power up operation brings the server to an operational state such that diagnostics or recovery can be performed even though the operating system software on the server is not operational. Power down is used when diagnosis and maintenance, such as changing a part, needs to be done. Other reasons for power down are for security or power conservation.
