摘要:
A method for dynamic power and performance calibration of a data processing system is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A synthesized program loaded in the data processing system is executed responsive to detecting an event in the data processing system. The synthesized program is configured to generate a set of data that is indicative of the data processing system's power-performance characteristics under varying conditions of operation. Using the set of data, a determination is made of a performance limit on an operation of the data processing system under present operating conditions of the data processing system. A parameter of the data processing system is calibrated to operate the data processing system within the performance limit.

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 method, system, and computer usable program product for power distribution considering cooling nodes in a data processing environment. A power demand of a data processing environment is determined for a period. The data processing environment includes a set of computing nodes and cooling nodes. A determination is made that the power demand will exceed a limit on electrical power available to the data processing environment for the period if the computing nodes and the cooling nodes in the data processing environment are operated in a first configuration. A first amount of power is redistributed from a cooling node in the data processing environment to a computing node in the data processing environment such that a temperature related performance threshold of a subset of computing nodes is at least met.

A partition that is executed by multiple processing nodes. Each node includes multiple cores and each of the cores has a frequency that can be set. A first frequency range is provided to the cores. Each core, when executing the identified partition, sets its frequency within the first frequency range. Frequency metrics are gathered from the cores running the partition by the nodes. The gathered frequency metrics are received and analyzed by a hypervisor that determines a second frequency range to use for the partition, with the second frequency range being different from the first frequency range. The second frequency range is provided to the cores at the nodes executing the identified partition. When the cores execute the identified partition, they use a frequencies within the second frequency range.

Dynamic frequency and voltage scaling for a computer processor, including retrieving information specifying a nominal operating point of frequency and voltage and an operating range of frequency and voltage for the processor; creating, by the power management module dynamically at run time in dependence upon the retrieved information, a table of frequency, voltage pairs, each pair specifying an operating point of frequency and voltage for the processor, each pair disposed upon a line drawn in frequency-voltage space through the nominal operating point between the minimum operating point and the maximum operating point, the distance between each pair defined in dependence upon a minimum change in power supply voltage supported by the power supply; and selecting and applying, by the power management module from the table, an operating voltage and frequency for the processor in dependence upon current operating conditions of the processor.
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.
