Computer System Power Management Based on Task Criticality

A method, apparatus, and program product are provided for managing power consumption in a computer system based on the degree with which performance of tasks can be degraded in order to save power. A criticality value controls the degree with which performance of a task may be degraded is associated with tasks within a computer system. Power consumption of the computer system is then managed based on the criticality values associated with tasks executing within the computer system. A reduction in computer system power consumption can be realized by degrading the performance of non-critical tasks, which is accomplished by reducing the power consumed by at least a portion of the computer system. Power can also be reduced by scheduling non-critical tasks to portions of the computer system and reducing power consumption of other portions of the computer system.

System and method for dynamic adjustment of an information handling system graphics bus

PCI Express bus utilization is monitored for one or more predetermined thresholds to adjust the width of the bus in accordance with the utilization to provide power savings with minimal impact on performance. For instance, a performance monitor of a graphics controller tracks bus utilization with registers to adjust bus width between one, eight and sixteen lanes. Reduced numbers of active lanes are used at low utilization, such as one lane when a desktop graphic is presented on the display, increased numbers of active lanes are used at moderate utilization, such as eight lanes when a video image is presented on the display, and all lanes are active at high utilization, such as for presentation of three dimensional images.

High impedance structures for multifrequency antennas and waveguides

A multi layered high impedance structure presents a high impedance to multiple frequency signals, with a different frequency for each layer. Each layer comprises a dielectric substrate, and an array of radiating elements such as parallel conductive strips or conductive patches on the substrate's top surface, with a conductive layer on the bottom surface of the bottommost layer. The radiating elements of succeeding layers are vertically aligned with conductive vias extending through the substrates to connect the radiating elements to the ground plane. Each layer presents as a series of parallel resonant L-C circuits to an E field at a particular signal frequency, resulting in a high impedance surface at that frequency. The new structure can be used as the substrate for a microstrip patch antenna to provide an optimal electrical distance between the resonator and backplane at multiple frequencies. It can also be used in waveguides that transmit multiple signal frequencies signals in one polarization or that are cross-polarized. As a waveguide it maintains a near-uniform density E and H fields, resulting in near uniform signal power density across the waveguide's cross-section.

Welding slot sealing structure and welding method

InactiveUS20080237195A1Reduces thermal distortionPerformance degradationTurbinesPump componentsDistortionLaser beams
Blades are connected to the surface of a disk and slots are formed in the surface of a shroud, which is opposite from the other surface of the shroud where the blades are to be welded. The blades are arranged on the opposite surface from the slots and a laser beam is applied from the surface in which the slots are formed, to weld the shroud and the blades. If powder is melted and put in the slots formed for welding in the shroud to fill the slots, thermal distortion occurs. On the other hand, if the slots are left empty, a problem of degrading the fluid performance arises. To solve these problems, components are installed on the surfaces of the slots on the opposite side from the blades after the blades and the shroud in which the slots are formed are welded. Alternatively, the slots are filled with a material different from that of the shroud, such as a resin. With this configuration, distortion caused by welding heat can be reduced without degrading the fluid performance. This method can be applied to the case where the blades are formed on the surface of the shroud, not on the surface of the disk, and to the slots formed in the disk after the blades and the disk are laser-welded.

Multi-pair gigabit ethernet transceiver

Various systems and methods providing high speed decoding, enhanced power reduction and clock domain partitioning for a multi-pair gigabit Ethernet transceiver are disclosed. ISI compensation is partitioned into two stages; a first stage compensates ISI components induced by characteristics of a transmitters partial response pulse shaping filter in a demodulator, a second stage compensates ISI components induced by characteristics of a multi-pair transmission channel in a Viterbi decoder. High speed decoding is accomplished by reducing the DFE depth by providing an input signal from a multiple decision feedback equalizer to the Viterbi based on a tail value and a subset of coefficient values received from a unit depth decision-feedback equalizer. Power reduction is accomplished by adaptively truncating active taps in the NEXT, FEXT and echo cancellation filters, or by disabling decoder circuitry portions, as channel response characteristics allow. A receive clock signal is generated such that it is synchronous in frequency with analog sampling clock signals and has a particular phase offset with respect to one of the sampling clock signals. This phase offset is adjusted such that system performance degradation due to coupling of switching noise from the digital sections to the analog sections is substantially minimized.
