Abstract: Platform power management includes boosting performance in a platform power boost mode or restricting performance to keep a power or temperature under a desired threshold in a platform power cap mode. Platform power management exploits the mutually exclusive nature of activities and the associated headroom created in a temperature and/or power budget of a server platform to boost performance of a particular component while also keeping temperature and/or power below a threshold or budget.

Abstract: A new approach contemplates systems and methods to support control of power consumption of a memory on a chip by throttling port access requests to the memory via a memory arbiter based on a one or more programmable parameters. The memory arbiter is configured to restrict the number of ports being used to access the memory at the same time to be less than the available ports of the memory, thereby enabling adaptive power control of the chip. Two port throttling schemes are enabled—strict port throttling, which throttles the number of ports granted for memory access to be no more than a user-configured maximum throttle port number, and leaky bucket port throttling, which throttles the number of ports granted for the memory access down to be within a range based on a number of credit tokens maintained in a credit register.

Abstract: A power management arrangement (10) for a device connection system 5 is described. The power management arrangement comprises a processing module (30) connected to data communication lines (35) for exchanging data with one or more peripherals (100), an interrupt interface (20) connected to interrupt channels (25) for sending an interrupt to and from one or more of the peripherals (100), and a local storage (50) connected to the processing module (30) for storing of logic operations relating to communication with and operation of the plurality of peripherals (100).

Abstract: In a system for the administration of a group of imaging devices which are equipped with a corresponding device hosts, device software and a configuration protocol are executably stored on the device host. The system can include a distributed database system which configured to receive configuration protocols from the device host and to store modified configuration protocols for the respective device host, and to distribute modified configuration protocols. The received and/or stored configuration protocols are made available via a central write access. The system can include an administrator having a memory, a user interface and a processor for communicating with the distributed database system. Configuration protocols can be modified via the user interface and sent to the distributed database system for storage and/or distribution to at least one selected imaging device. These aspects are also applicable to a method for the administration of imaging devices.

Abstract: A data aggregation implementation includes self-configuring drivers. From the viewpoint of a Network Operation Center (NOC), a plurality of heterogenous content sources provide content that may be of a variety of different types and formats. All of this content must be ingested and stored for retrieval and reporting, analysis, and/or presentation despite many differences in their collection, format, transmission, and quality. In some embodiments, the NOC includes or cooperates with one or more servers to, among other functions, receive content from content sources, request object reflection by the driver of each content source, receive driver attributes in response, and map the metadata of the content for each content source to a universal schema, thereby self-configuring the driver.

Abstract: A booting method of a computing system, which includes a memory module including a processing device connected to a plurality of memory devices, including: powering up the computing system; after powering up the computing system, performing first memory training on the plurality of memory devices by the processing device in the memory module, and generating a module ready signal indicating completion of the first memory training; after powering up the computing system, performing a first booting sequence by a host device, the host device executing basic input/output system (BIOS) code of a BIOS memory included in the computing system; waiting for the module ready signal to be received from the memory module in the host device after performing the first booting sequence; and receiving the module ready signal in the host device, and performing a second booting sequence based on the module ready signal.

Abstract: Power conservation for devices is facilitated based on likelihood of power usage level. An example method can comprise determining, by a first device comprising a processor, that a second device is within a defined proximity of a third device, wherein the third device is determined to be operating in a mode according to a first power consumption operation that satisfies a defined condition, and wherein the operating in the mode according to the first power consumption operation is based on the third device being located at a defined location. The method can also comprise facilitating, by the first device, modification of the mode of the third device based on a determination of a likelihood of usage of a second power consumption operation by the third device. In various embodiments, the third device is configured to operate according to the power save mode or the extended discontinuous reception mode.

Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to managing power consumption of powered devices. In some embodiments, the powered devices draw power from a common source of power, which is limited. Under certain circumstances, exceeding the power limits can cause interruption of power to one or more of the devices, thus introducing a source of communication failures. To ensure reliable communications, an attempt to increase a power consumption of a first powered device in a power group is first reviewed to determine if the increase will cause a supplied power of the group to exceed a maximum power of the group. If the increase will cause the maximum power to be exceeded, the increase is modified, in some circumstances, to fit within the maximum power level. Alternatively, power consumption of a lower priority device is reduced to accommodate the requested power consumption increase.
