    摘要: A method, apparatus, and computer-usable medium for predicting capacity on a data processing system. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a capacity manager estimates an incremental power value utilize for activating and maintaining an additional processor in the data processing system. The capacity manager calculates a power headroom value. In response to calculating the power headroom value, the capacity manager determines whether an adjustment power headroom value is required. The capacity manager calculates a projected capacity value added by the additional processor to the data processing system.

    摘要: Mechanisms for dynamically managing core pools are provided. The mechanisms measure the amount of a computational load on a computing device. One way of measuring the load may consist of executing a number of instructions, in a unit of time, with numerous cores of the computing device. The mechanisms compare the number of instructions executed with specific thresholds. Depending on whether the number of instructions is higher or lower than the thresholds, the computing devices may respond by activating and deactivating cores of the computing devices. By limiting execution of instructions of the computing device to a smaller number of cores and switching one or more cores to a lower power state, the devices may conserve power.

    摘要: A system and method for an initial boot of a system before adding or removing drawers to a system without requiring an n-level cable. Standby power is applied after all cables have been connected to the system. All available expansion ports for an SMP cable are searched. A unique ID is sent over and received by all plugged SMP cables. A list of each controller and its connected controllers is created, and a master controller is assigned. A plugging table of each controller is sent to the master controller. The master controller compares all received plugging tables to plugging rules. Errors are reported in cable plugging errors and system configuration is reported to platform management service.
