Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. Based on an occurrence of a power management event for the data processing system, the data processing system may use a multi-function connection to exchange power information with a power distribution unit (PDU) that supplies power to the data processing system via the multi-function connection. Using the power information, a power management process may be performed to obtain a new powered state for the data processing system. The new powered state may be enforced on hardware resources of the data processing system to obtain an updated processing system usable for providing computer-implemented services.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. The data processing system may obtain first power from a power distribution unit (PDU) via a multi-function connection. Based on a magnitude of the first power, a validation process may need to be performed before other power is made available to the data processing system from the PDU. During the validation process, the data processing system may, via the multi-function connection, provide identification information to and receive a response from the PDU. The response may indicate characteristics of power that the PDU believes is warranted for the data processing system based on the identification information. The data processing system may be placed in a new power state based on the characteristics of the power in order to provide computer-implemented services.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. A power distribution unit (PDU) may supply power to the data processing system via a multi-function connection adapted to facilitate communication between the data processing system and the PDU. Based on an identification of an occurrence of a power budgeting event for the data processing system, the data processing system may use the multi-function connection to provide a power cap request to the PDU, and to obtain a response to the power cap request from the PDU. The response may be based on a mapping of a power distribution system that includes the PDU, and the response may indicate a new power state for the data processing system. The data processing system may enforce the power state on at least hardware resources of the data processing system in order to provide computer-implemented services.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. The data processing system (DPS) may identify that a power distribution unit (PDU) is operably connected via a multi-function connection adapted to both supply power to the DPS and facilitate communication between the DPS and the PDU. The DPS may identify a pairing state for the PDU that indicates whether the PDU is paired or unpaired. If the PDU is unpaired, a pairing process may be performed to attempt to change the pairing state for the PDU to paired. If the pairing state for the PDU is changed to paired, then a new power state for the DPS may be collaboratively enforced by the DPS with the PDU to obtain an updated DPS. The updated DPS may provide a computer-implemented service.

Abstract: A system can create a first graph that represents first values of current configurations of a computer hardware as first nodes and first dependencies of the current configurations as first links. The system can create first embedding vectors based on the first graph. The system can input the first embedding vectors to a graph isomorphism network to produce modified first embedding vectors. The system can identify specified configurations for the computer hardware. The system can create a second graph that represents second values of the specified configurations. The system can create second embedding vectors based on the second graph. The system can input the second embedding vectors to the graph isomorphism network to produce modified second embedding vectors. The system can perform a graph isomorphism evaluation on the modified first embedding vectors and the modified second embedding vectors to determine an amount of difference.
