摘要： A system for associating power consumption with a network address. Network traffic is inspected to determine network addresses. The network addresses are assigned to one or more servers. A power output of a plurality of power outlets is measured to determine a power consumption of the one or more servers connected to the plurality of power outlets. The network addresses assigned to the one or more servers is associated with the power consumption of the one or more servers. A total power consumption is calculated for the one or more servers having an association of network addresses with power consumption. Then, the total power consumption is recorded for the one or more servers in a table and a user is provided access to the table.

摘要： A method for autonomous dynamic voltage (v) and frequency (f) scaling (DVFS) of a microprocessor, wherein autonomous detection of phases of high microprocessor workload and prediction of their duration is performed (PID). The microprocessor frequency (f) will be temporarily increased (LUT) to an appropriate safe value (even beyond its nominal frequency) consistent with technological and ambient constraints in order to improve performance when the computer system comprising the microprocessor benefits most, while during phases of low microprocessor workload its frequency (f) and voltage (v) will be decreased to save energy. This technique exploits hidden performance capabilities and improves the total performance of a computer system without compromising operational stability. No additional hardware such as service processors is needed for contemporary computer systems supporting performance counters and DFVS already. The invention allows significantly increasing the total computer system performance with only minimal impact on power (PMAX, PACTUAL) consumption.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for minimizing system power in the data processing system with fast convergence. A current aggregate system power value is determined using a current thermal threshold value. For each potential thermal threshold value in a set of potential thermal threshold values, a determination is made as to whether there is a potential thermal threshold value that results in a potential aggregate system power value that is lower than the current aggregate system power value. Responsive to identifying an optimal potential thermal threshold value from the set of potential thermal threshold values that results in minimum aggregate system power value that is lower than the current aggregate system power value, the optimal potential thermal threshold value is set as a new thermal threshold value.

摘要： A co-operative mechanism in which a service processor and a host CPU (with an OS running thereupon) work together to implement both power capping and utilization-based power savings, and with negligible side effects. Preferably, a 2-level modulation scheme is employed to undertake both power capping and energy savings simultaneously. Preferably, a frequency governor in the OS running on a host processor saves power by modulating p-states based on a shared table, thus avoiding SMIs. The range of the p-states in the shared table is adjusted to implement power capping in conjunction with power sensors in the system. This adjustment can be done either by a service processor, which can monitor total energy consumption, or an OS or software running on the host processor, which can read energy consumption from the service processor and adjust the shared table.
