Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a modular processing unit. A modular processing unit is provided as a platform that is lightweight, compact, and is configured to be selectively used alone or oriented with one or more additional processing units in an enterprise. In some implementations, a modular processing unit includes a non-peripheral based encasement, a cooling process (e.g., a thermodynamic convection cooling process, a forced air cooling process, and/or a liquid cooling process), an optimized circuit board configuration, optimized processing and memory ratios, and a dynamic back plane that provides increased flexibility and support to peripherals and applications. The modular processing unit is customizable and may be employed in association with all types of computer enterprises. The platform allows for a plethora of modifications that may be made with minimal impact to the modular unit, thereby enhancing the usefulness of the platform across all type of application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing computing resources utilize a base module having certain processing resources. A peripheral module is communicatively connected to the base module and is configured to utilize processing resources of the base module using one or more input/output devices connected to the peripheral module. The peripheral module uses a minimum of power, utilizes only enough computing resources to pass input/output signals between the input/output devices at the peripheral module and the base module, and provides access to an additional session of the operating system of the base module without requiring that a separate instance of the operating system be loaded into memory of the base module. The peripheral module may serve essentially as an intelligent mounting bracket.

Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligent and flexible management and monitoring of computer systems are provided using platform management controllers (PMCs) located on circuit boards of a computer system. The PMCs provide for enhanced circuit board certification and security, enhanced systems monitoring and reporting, and enhanced systems control. The PMCs also allow for emulation of processor-based devices and are low-power, low-cost and very fast when compared to the devices replaced and functionality provided. A power supply tracking apparatus helps to ensure that a first power input to an operational circuit maintains a predefined relationship to a second power input to the operational circuit. Systems and methods for receiving computer systems diagnostics information and for customizably displaying such information from a diagnostics monitoring device are incorporated into a computer system. The monitored computer system information is transmitted to a diagnostics device, such as by infrared or by a novel temporary wired connection.
