摘要:
A computer system comprising a chassis supporting a processor, memory, and a power supply. An inlet allows air to flow into the chassis and an outlet allows air to flow out of the chassis. An air mover is operable to generate an airflow through said chassis between the inlet and the outlet and in thermal communication with the processor, memory, and power supply. The air mover is disposed external to said chassis.

A method described herein includes an act of receiving data that is indicative of predicted weather conditions for a particular geographic region, wherein the particular geographic region has an energy generation system therein, and wherein the energy generation system utilizes at least one renewable energy resource to generate electrical power. The method also includes the act of scheduling a computational workload for at least one computer in a data center based at least in part upon the data that is indicative of the predicted weather conditions for the particular geographic region.

Super capacitor supplemented server power is described. In embodiments, a power system manager is implemented to monitor the capability of one or more power supplies to provide power for a server system. The power system manager can determine that the capability of the power supplies to provide the power is deficient, and then engage one or more super capacitor power modules to provide supplemental power for the server system to mitigate the power deficiency.
摘要:
A datacenter may use heat collected from a heat exchanger at the exhaust portion of a cooling system to heat inlet louvers for an atmospheric intake. The louvers may have fluid passages through which heated fluid may pass and cause the louvers to heat up. The heated louvers may operate during periods of snow, rain, high humidity, or other conditions to eliminate condensation, snow and ice buildup, or other problems. In some embodiments, a liquid may be passed through the louvers, while in other embodiments, heated air or other gas may be passed through conductive paths in the louvers. In a heated air system, holes in the louvers may allow the heated air to enter the incoming airstream to regulate the incoming temperature to the datacenter.
摘要:
A data center may be built from docking stations, and from removable and replaceable IT cartridges. In one example, a docking station is built that provides cooling capability, and other support capability, for IT equipment. An IT cartridge is coupled to the docking station, thereby allowing the IT equipment in the cartridge to receive cooling and other support from the docking station, without the cartridge having any cooling infrastructure (or without having a substantial cooling infrastructure). Since IT equipment may have a shorter useful life than cooling equipment (or other non-IT equipment), when the IT equipment has reached the end of its useful life, the IT cartridge can be retired, and replaced with a new IT cartridge, thereby allowing the longer-lived equipment in the docking station to be easily reused with new IT equipment.
摘要:
A computer system has plural partitions for running respective workloads. Reliability-indicating events are monitored and the resulting data is used by a workload manager in allocating computer resources to workloads.

This patent pertains to self-cleaning fan assemblies. One implementation includes electronic components positioned in an enclosure. This implementation also includes a fan assembly that is configured to impart rotational force on air to move the air from outside the enclosure to inside the enclosure and around the electronic components. The fan assembly is further configured to separate contaminants from the air based upon differences in density between the contaminants and the air.
