    摘要: Method and apparatus providing airflow through a chassis including an upstream column of memory modules and a downstream column of memory modules. The airflow is divided into first and second separate airflow streams extending from an upstream end of the upstream column to a downstream end of the downstream column. The first airflow stream is guided into contact with a single memory module operably-installed in the upstream column and to avoid contact with any memory module in the downstream column. The second airflow stream is guided to avoid contact with any memory module in the upstream column and into contact with a single memory module operably-installed in the downstream column. The improved cooling enables the extended use of a single memory module per channel, even though the thermal load on such a memory module is greater. The result is an overall savings of power, since cooling requirements no longer dictate the installation of additional memory modules per channel in order to share and distribute the thermal load.

    摘要: Computing devices have fan speeds governing airflows through the computing devices. The rack has a maximum airflow associated with a cooling component for the rack. The computing devices transmit their current airflows. A sum of the current airflows is determined. Where the sum is greater than the maximum airflow, the fan speeds of one or more selected computing devices are decreased. The fan speeds of lower priority computing devices may be reduced before the fan speeds higher priority computing devices are reduced. Fan speed reduction may be achieved in a centralized manner, by employing a centralized management component, or in a decentralized manner, without employing a centralized management component.

    摘要: A system to improve operation of a data center with heterogeneous computing clouds may include monitoring components to track data center climate controls and individual heterogeneous computing clouds' operating parameters within the data center. The system may also include a controller that regulates the individual heterogeneous computing clouds and data center climate controls based upon data generated by the monitoring components to improve the operating performance of the individual heterogeneous computing clouds as well as the operating performance of the data center. The system may further include spilling computing clouds to receive excess workload of an individual heterogeneous computing cloud without violating individual heterogeneous computing clouds contracts.
