摘要:
A method, computer program product, and apparatus for managing power in a data processing system are presented. A core is activated in the data processing system and configured to operate at a frequency in response to receiving a request to increase a processing capacity of a set of resources in the data processing system. A determination whether a use of power resulting from activating the core configured to operate at the frequency meets a policy for the use of the power in the data processing system is made. A set of parameters associated with devices in the set of resources are adjusted to meet the policy for the use of power in the data processing system in response to a determination that the use of power does not meet the policy. A determination whether a number of operations performed per unit of time by a set of cores associated with the set of resources increased after activating the core is made. An indication that the request to increase the processing capacity of the set of resources is unavailable is made in response to a determination that the number of operations performed per unit of time by the set of cores associated with the set of resources has not increased.
摘要:
Disclosed is a computer implemented method, computer program product, and apparatus for determining a safe lower bound for a commonly powered data processing system. A power management module operates the data processing system using at least one nominal operating parameter during an exploration periodicity, with the at least one nominal operating parameter being clock speed. The power management module determines whether a calibration period is occurring. The power management module calibrates the data processing system up to a measurement interval duration expiration. The power management module may repeat operating the data processing system using the at least one nominal operating parameter.

摘要:
A mechanism is provided for unified management of power, performance, and thermals in computer systems. This mechanism incorporates elements to effectively address all aspects of managing computing systems in an integrated manner, instead of independently. The mechanism employs an infrastructure for real-time measurements feedback, an infrastructure for regulating system activity, component operating levels, and environmental control, a dedicated control structure for guaranteed response/preemptive action, and interaction and integration components. The mechanism provides interfaces for user-level interaction. The mechanism also employs methods to address power/thermal concerns at multiple timescales. In addition, the mechanism improves efficiency by adopting an integrated approach, rather than treating different aspects of the power/thermal problem as individual issues to be addressed in a piecemeal fashion.

摘要:
A system for identifying a subset of sensors to sample to reduce the frequency of sensor access. The system determines rise times and records values for the sensors in the system. A time criticality of the sensors is determined based on the rise times. The system processes the sensors by first creating sensor subsets based on one or more constraints on the sensors. The system monitors the values of the sensors in a sensor subset and flags a sensor when it makes a determination that, prior to a next scheduled sampling of the sensor subset, the value of a sensor in the monitored sensor subset will exceed a threshold constraint. The system moves those flagged sensors to a second sensor subset which complies with the sensor's constraints.
