Abstract: Devices and methods for a communication device having at least one power supply unit coupled to a power connector for providing an operating power for operation of network modules of the communication device and a PoE power for the ports connected to Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. The PoE power includes a consumable power to power up at least one PoE devices and a leftover power. Further, a PoE power harvester adapter is coupled to a power connector to convert the leftover PoE power into additional operating power for operating additional network modules.

Abstract: Computer processes are allocated among cores of a multi-core multi-processor system at least in part as a function of utilization histories of the processes.

Abstract: Input/output (I/O) devices may be controlled to reduce power consumption of a computer system. A power consumption metric for the I/O devices connected to the computer system is determined. At least one of the I/O devices is selected based on the determined power consumption metric, and power consumption for the selected I/O device is reduced.

Abstract: A memory assembly module including an on-board voltage regulator for converting an externally supplied voltage into appropriate local voltage levels for powering memory devices of the memory assembly module.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to determining a setting at a component. An output to be powered by a low power state power rail can output a value. The component is to be powered by an auxiliary power rail and determines the setting based on the value at auxiliary power good.

Abstract: An operation mode is determined based on user behavior data, an environmental data of the electronic device is determined and a system operating data of the electronic device is determined. A system control parameter can be adjusted based on the environmental data and the system operating data to regulate the heat generating element and/or the cooling element to achieve the operating mode.

Abstract: A computer system including a processor and a fan. The computer system can determine a power usage of the computer system and throttle the processor if the power usage corresponds to operating the fan at an increased acoustic level. The processor is throttled to cool the computer system prior to operating the fan at the increased acoustic level.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with event based correlation of power events are described. One example method includes storing a power distribution unit (PDU) event data that identifies an occurrence of a suspected power event associated with a device. The method can then provide a PDU-server correlation signal that identifies a connection between a PDU and a device.

Abstract: A plurality of computer systems is operable to execute an application. A power consumption is determined for a first computer system if the first computer system were to execute the application, and a power consumption is determined for at least one other computer system if the second computer system were to execute the application. One of the computer systems is selected to execute the application based on the determined power consumptions.
