    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for determining a modeled age of a set of interconnect groups in a set of cores in a set of multi-core processors. For each interconnect group in the set of interconnect groups in the set of cores on the set of multi-core processors, a determination is made of a current modeled age of the interconnect group. A determination is then made as to whether at least one current modeled age of the interconnect group for the set of interconnect groups is greater than an end-of-life value. Responsive to at least one current modeled age of the interconnect group being greater than the end-of-life value, an indication to take corrective action with the at least one associated interconnect group is sent.

    Abstract: Computing system voltage control methods include receiving an indication of a first performance state. The first performance state is associated with a first voltage and applies to at least one computing system component. The indication of the first performance state is received by a first computing system component from a second computing system component. An indication of a second performance state is received, wherein the second performance state is associated with a second voltage that is not equal to the first voltage. It is determined whether the second performance state is within a range defined by a minimum performance state and a maximum performance state. Responsive to determining that the second performance state is within the range defined by the minimum performance state and the maximum performance state, the voltage of the at least one computing system component is set equal to the voltage associated with the second performance state.

    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for determining a modeled age of a mufti-core processor. For each core in a set of cores in the multi-core processor, a determination is made of a temperature, a voltage, and a frequency at regular intervals for a set of degradations and a set of voltage domains, thereby forming the modeled age of the multi-core processor. A determination is made as to whether the modeled age of the multi-core processor is greater than an end-of-life value. Responsive to the modeled age of the multi-core processor being greater than an end-of-life value, an indication is sent that the multi-core processor requires replacement.

    Abstract: A sensor array including multiple current sensors provides input for power measurement and management systems. The sensor array includes split ferrite cylinder portions connected by a frame, so that when the array is installed around multiple branch circuits in a power distribution panel or raceway, the ferrite cylinders are completed to surround the conductor(s) of the associated branch circuit. Voltage sensing may also be incorporated within the sensors by providing an electrically conductive plate, wire or other element that capacitively couples to the corresponding wire(s).
