Abstract: A commonly designed processor heat exchanger decouples the mounting hardware used to mount the heat exchanger to a processor from the heat exchanger itself. This allows a single heat exchanger design to be mounted to various different types of processors using processor customized mounting brackets that engage with flanges extending out from a body of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: Methods for providing power to electronic components (e.g., servers in a datacenter, or other devices) can include providing AC power received from an external source to the devices. During periods of high demand, when costs of external AC power exceed a threshold, or when availability of external AC power is decreased, distributed backup power supply systems can be utilized to temporarily offset or to reverse consumption of external AC power. Such distributed backup power systems can be periodically recharged during periods of low power demand, and thus consistently retain adequate charge for backup use in the event of power loss.

Abstract: A rack-mountable computer system enables an airflow that cools components in an upstream portion of the computer system interior to be cooled through mixing with a bypass airflow downstream of the components in the upstream portion. The mixed airflow can cool components in a downstream portion of the interior. The bypass airflow is directed by a bypass plenum that is unencompassed by the separate plenum that directs the airflow to cool the upstream portion components. The bypass plenum can be at least partially established by an external surface the computer system and one or more external structures, including an external surface of an adjacently mounted computer system. Relative flow rates through the separate plenums can be adjusted, via flow control elements, to separately control heat removal from components upstream and downstream of the air mixing, based at least in part upon air temperatures in the separate interior portions.

Abstract: A computing system providing virtual computing services may maintain a fleet of servers that host virtual machine instances having a wide variety of types and configurations. A service provider may rent processor and memory capacity by defining and offering various virtual machine instances to clients. Each virtual machine instance may include one or more virtual CPUs and a fixed amount of virtualized memory allocated to each virtual CPU, dependent on a predefined ratio between virtual CPU capacity and virtualized memory capacity for the instance type. Each server may include a custom, non-standard sized physical memory module containing memory devices of multiple technologies, types, or sizes on the same printed circuit board. By including custom memory modules, rather than relying only on standard memory modules, the service provider system may implement virtual machines having finer grained options for processor and memory capacity combinations, and may avoid stranding rentable resources.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for dynamically changing a size of a cache region of a storage device. A storage device controller writes data to the cache region of the storage device using a particular storage format. The storage device controller then migrates the cached data to a storage region of the device, where the data is written using a different storage format. A dynamic cache manager monitors input and output activity for the storage device and dynamically adjusts a size of the cache region to adapt to changes in the input and/or output activity. The dynamic cache manager can also adjust a size of the storage region. The storage device controller can automatically detect that the storage device has dynamic cache support and configure the storage device by creating the cache region and the storage region on the device.

Abstract: A branded fleet server system includes a pre-assembled third-party computer system integrated into a chassis of the branded fleet server system. The pre-assembled third-party computer system is configured to execute proprietary software that is only licensed for use on branded hardware. A baseboard management controller (BMC) included in the server chassis couples with the pre-assembled computer system via one or more cables coupled to ports of the pre-assembled computer system. The BMC enables remote control of the pre-assembled computer system, such as remote power on and power off. Also the BMC may enable automatic and remote software and/or firmware updates to be performed at the pre-assembled computer system.

Abstract: A computing system includes a circuit board assembly and multiple expansion cards connected to one another and also connected to the circuit board assembly. The connected expansion cards form a modular expansion card bus that allows the expansion cards to communicate between each other without routing the communications through the circuit board assembly. In some embodiments, the expansion cards are mounted on a tray that includes mounting pins that engage mounting slots of the expansion cards, allowing for simple installation of various combinations of expansion cards connected together to form a modular expansion card bus.

Abstract: A rack-mountable computer system directs separate portions of a cooling airflow from an inlet air plenum in the computer system interior through separate air passages to remove heat from separate portions of a set of heat-producing components. The air passages can preclude a portion of cooling airflow removing heat from a component from being preheated by another component. Plenums and air passages can be established through the arrangement of components in the interior. Components can be arranged in progressive offsets throughout the depth of the interior to vary plenum flow area throughout the depth, which can progressively impede and redirect airflow through the inlet plenum into the air passages. Arrangements can include an angled row, a staggered configuration, etc. The computer system can include a chassis which can translate, while maintaining operation of hot-pluggable electronic components coupled throughout the depth, to enable swapping of hot-pluggable electronic components throughout the interior.
