    Abstract: A first electronic device may comprise a chassis and first fins. The chassis may be configured to removably couple with a second electronic device. The first fins are configured to interleave with second fins of the second electronic device in a coupled state of the first and second electronic devices. A corrugated thermal interface device comprises folded fins. The folded fins are coupled to the first fins and are also removably couplable to the second fins in the coupled state of the first and second electronic devices. Each folded fin comprises one or more lateral walls, and the corrugated thermal interface device further comprises a plurality of spring fingers coupled to and extending at least partially in a lateral direction from the lateral walls. The spring finger contacts may be contacted and displaced by the second fins in the coupled state of the first and second electronic devices.

    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein make previously stranded power capacity (power that is provisioned for a data center according to a computing system's nameplate power consumption but is currently not useable) available to the data center. Systems described herein generate empirical power profiles that specify expected upper bounds for the power consumption levels that applications trigger. Using the upper bounds for application power-consumption levels, a computing system described herein can reliably release part of its provisioned nameplate power for other systems or data center consumers, reducing the amount of stranded power in a data center. The method described herein avoids performance penalties for most jobs by using sensor measurements made at a rapid rate explained herein to ensure that a system power cap based on running application's measured peak power consumption is reliable with reference to the power capacitance inherent in the computing system.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a cooling assembly of a host circuit device, a circuit assembly including the host circuit device and a removable circuit device, and a method for thermal management of the removable circuit device removably connected to the host circuit device. The cooling assembly includes a cooling component and a thermal gap pad having an elastomer component movably connected to the cooling component and a plurality of beams embedded in the elastomer component. Each beam includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a body portion extended between the first and second end portions. The first end portion of each of one or more beams is disposed in a first thermal contact with the cooling component and a second end portion of each of the one or more beams is disposed in a second thermal contact with a heat sink of the removable circuit device.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to compact and replaceable accumulator to be utilized in a chassis-level cooling device. The accumulator is a low pressurized device having a housing, a bladder, and a compressible fluid. The housing has an inner surface defining a volume and an opening. The bladder is disposed within a volume portion and attached to the opening. The bladder includes a plurality of elongated wall sections foldably coupled to each other and defining a bladder volume therebetween. The bladder inflates by unfolding the plurality of elongated wall sections to increase the bladder volume in response to an increase in a pressure of a working fluid inside the bladder volume. The compressible fluid is contained in a remaining volume portion between the inner surface of the housing and the bladder. The compressible fluid is compressed to an offset pressure in response to inflation of the plurality of elongated wall sections.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a host device and a method for thermal management of a removable device, such as a pluggable electronic transceiver comprising a plurality of spring fingers that provide multipoint contact conduction cooling of the removable device. The host device includes a host circuit board having a connector, and a thermal management unit having a cooling component and the plurality of spring fingers. The cooling component is coupled to a portion of the host circuit board and includes a partially protruded portion. Each of the plurality of spring fingers includes a first end coupled to the partially protruded portion, and a second end having a dry contact surface to establish a direct thermal interface with a peripheral surface of the removable device to allow waste-heat to transfer from the removable device to the cooling component through each spring finger.

    Abstract: A computing apparatus includes an enclosure to house computing nodes; a slot to receive a power supply unit that is to provide power to the computing nodes; and a cold plate assembly positioned in the slot. The cold plate assembly includes a first thermal exchange surface and a cooling loop. The first thermal exchange surface is inclined relative to a horizontal dimension of the slot and is to make thermal contact with a complementary thermal exchange surface of the power supply unit when the power supply unit is received by the slot, the complementary thermal exchange surface also being inclined relative to a horizontal dimension of the slot. The cooling loop is thermally coupled to the first interface and through which liquid coolant is to flow.
