Abstract:
A fan module including: two or more individual fans, each fan having an air movement means and a motor engaged with the air movement means for accelerating air entering each of the two or more individual fans; a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature associated with the two or more fans and for outputting a first signal corresponding to the temperature; rotational speed sensor for outputting a second signal corresponding to a rotational speed of each of the two or more fans; and a processor for receiving the first and second signals and controlling the two or more individual fans based on the first and second signals.
Abstract:
A system and method for generating global asynchronous signals in a computin g structure. Particularly, a global interrupt and barrier network is implement ed that implements logic for generating global interrupt and barrier signals fo r controlling global asynchronous operations perfomed by processing elements a t selected processing nodes (12) of computing structure in accordance with a processing algorithm; and includes the physical interconnecting of the processing nodes (12) for communicating the global interrupt and barrier signals to the elements via low latency paths. The global asynchronous signa ls respectively initiate interrupt and barrier operations at the processing nod es (12) at times selected for otpimizing performance of the processing algorithms. In one embodiment, the global interrupt and barrier network is implemented in a scalable, massively parallel supercomputing device structur e comprising a plurality of processing nodes interconnected by multiple independent networks.
