摘要:
A method and an apparatus for cooling, preferably within an enclosure, a diversity of heat-generating components, with at least some of the components having high-power densities and others having low-power densities. Heat generated by the essentially relatively few high-power-density components, such as microprocessor chips for example, is removed by direct liquid cooling, whereas heat generated by the more numerous low-power or low-watt-density components, such as memory chips for example, is removed by liquid-assisted air cooling in the form of a closed loop comprising a plurality of heating and cooling zones that alternate along the air path.

A processor-implemented method for improving efficiency of a static core turn-off in a multi-core processor with variation, the method comprising: conducting via a simulation a turn-off analysis of the multi-core processor at the multi-core processor's design stage, wherein the turn-off analysis of the multi-core processor at the multi-core processor's design stage includes a first output corresponding to a first multi-core processor core to turn off; conducting a turn-off analysis of the multi-core processor at the multi-core processor's testing stage, wherein the turn-off analysis of the multi-core processor at the multi-core processor's testing stage includes a second output corresponding to a second multi-core processor core to turn off; comparing the first output and the second output to determine if the first output is referring to the same core to turn off as the second output; outputting a third output corresponding to the first multi-core processor core if the first output and the second output are both referring to the same core to turn off.

A processor-implemented method for determining aging of a processing unit in a processor the method comprising: calculating an effective aging profile for the processing unit wherein the effective aging profile quantifies the effects of aging on the processing unit; combining the effective aging profile with process variation data, actual workload data and operating conditions data for the processing unit; and determining aging through an aging sensor of the processing unit using the effective aging profile, the process variation data, the actual workload data, architectural characteristics and redundancy data, and the operating conditions data for the processing unit.

Embodiments of the present invention provide for non interruptive fluid cooling of an electronic enclosure. One or more electronic component packages may be removable from a circuit card having a fluid flow system. When installed, the electronic component packages are coincident to and in a thermal relationship with the fluid flow system. If a particular electronic component package becomes non-functional, it may be removed from the electronic enclosure without affecting either the fluid flow system or other neighboring electronic component packages.

A folded heatsink for cooling heat-producing devices. The folded heatsink includes a substantially planar base having a first end and a second end. The base is intended to be affixed in thermal contact to an exposed, substantially planar surface of one or more heat-producing devices. The folded heatsink also includes two shoulders each having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal ends of the shoulders project substantially at right angles from the first and second ends of the base. The folded heatsink also includes two arms each having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal ends of the arms project substantially at right angles from the distal ends of the shoulders such that the base, shoulders and arms from a nearly closed rectangular tube formed from a continuous sheet of metal.
