Abstract: Methods and systems for power management are disclosed. The disclosed methods and system for power management may reduce the likelihood of a data processing system failing to meet power budget or other types of goals regarding power consumption, use, and/or provisioning. To reduce the likelihood of the data processing system failing to meet power related goals, the data processing system may include two power managers. An integrated power manager may manage power consumption based on a current-based, fast changing representation of the quantity of power being supplied by the power supplies. In contrast, a system power manager may manage power consumption based on digital representations of the power supplied by the power supplies, which may refresh the digital representations less quickly than the rate at which the analog current based representation is refreshed.

The distributed thermal management system may include multiple components that are responsible for granular and/or global thermal management of the data processing system.

The processor is further configured to execute, using the at least one application on an external computing device, a workflow associated with the workflow request based at least in part on the meta-data, generate, based on execution of the workflow request, new meta-data associated with the at least one application, and transmit the new meta-data to the database.

Abstract: A power management system includes a power infrastructure having power infrastructure components that couple computing devices to power source(s), and a power management subsystem coupled to the computing devices. The power management subsystem identifies power requirement information for each of the computing devices and power transmission limitation information for the power infrastructure components, and determines a power infrastructure architecture that identifies how the power infrastructure components couple the computing devices to the power source(s). The power management subsystem then uses the power requirement information, the power transmission limitation information, and the power infrastructure architecture to generate and provide a respective input current limit to each of the computing devices.

Abstract: Methods and systems for power management are disclosed. The disclosed power management method and systems may improve the likelihood of data processing systems providing desired computer implemented services while meeting power budget goals and/or other types of goals regarding power consumption, use, and/or provisioning. To improve the likelihood of the power budgets being met, the system may dynamically update power allocations to various components of data processing systems. The power allocations may be dynamically allocated by predicting how changes in existing power allocations may impact the ability of the data processing system to service power allocation requests. If it appears that changes in one or more existing power allocations may allow a power allocation request to be serviced, then the power allocations may be dynamically reallocated to free allocable power. The freed allocable power may be used to service the power allocation.

Abstract: The invention is a shift lockout guide for a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox. It includes a user-operable means that, in preferred embodiments, is mounted to the shifter of the gear box and is linked to an engagement portion that interacts with guide plates defining a path of travel for the shifter. A biasing means urges the engagement portion into the guide plates but this can be overridden by the driver through the user-operable means. The invention provides the driver of a vehicle fitted with the invention in the selection of specific gears while also preventing certain other gears from being selected. This reduces the risk of inadvertent overrevving of the vehicle's engine through inappropriate gear selection.
