Abstract: An information handling system includes a host processing complex and a wireless management system. The host processing complex instantiates a hosted processing environment and includes a first general-purpose processing unit (GPU) and a GPU hot-plug module that enables a hot-plug operation to replace the first GPU with a second GPU while power is provided to the host processing complex. The hosted processing environment instantiates a first workload on the first GPU. The wireless management system operates out of band from the hosted processing environment, directs the hosted processing environment to halt the first workload, and directs the GPU hot-plug module to perform the hot-plug operation.

Abstract: A volatile/non-volatile memory device access provisioning system includes a processing system and a controller coupled to a memory device. The controller provides an access key to the memory device and causes memory device communications to be passed to the processing system when the access key is available. The controller simply causes memory device communications to be passed to the processing system when the access key is not available. The memory device masks non-volatile memory subsystem access information in the memory device to prevent the processing system from accessing non-volatile memory subsystem(s) in the memory device, and then determines whether the access key has been received from the controller. The memory device will unmask the non-volatile memory subsystem access information such that the processing system can access non-volatile memory subsystem(s) in response to determining that the access key has been received from the controller.

Abstract: A server rack includes a management controller, a power mapping module coupled to the management controller, and a plurality of power receptacles. Each power receptacle is coupled to the power mapping module to provide an indication to the power mapping module of the power consumed by equipment that is plugged in to each power receptacle. The management controller is operable to determine that the power consumed by the equipment installed in the server rack is greater than a high power threshold and throttle a first piece of equipment installed in the rack.

Abstract: A server rack includes a mapping module having management ports that are each uniquely associated with and collocated with a rack unit of the server rack, a server installed in a rack unit of the server rack having a host port and a management controller coupled to a management port, and a rack switch including a first switch port coupled to the host port. The management module provides an indication to the mapping module that the host port is an active port, and the mapping module directs the rack switch to query the switch port to determine if the switch port is coupled to the active port in response to receiving the indication, receives a second indication that the switch port is coupled to the active port, and provides a network map for the server rack that indicates that the host port is coupled to the switch port.

Abstract: A floor tile for a data center floor includes a memory device and a tile management controller coupled to the memory device. The tile management controller receives configuration information for a server rack located on the floor tile and stores the configuration information in the memory device.
