Abstract:
The method consists of establishing addressability to the locations in the display refresh buffer to receive a selected text character. Addressability to the locations is established in the storage containing a dot image of the selected text character. One portion of the dot image is fetched from the storage. This portion is stored in the display refresh buffer. The storing steps once repeated and fetched for each portion of the dot image to write the text character onto the graphics display. Text characters are read by retrieving from the display buffer dot images.
Abstract:
A method for managing power consumption of multiple computer servers is disclosed. The number of computer servers required to meet a current workload demand is initially determined. Next, a thermally optimized configuration of powered-on computer servers to meet the current workload demand is determined. At least one computer server is powered on or powered off, based on the thermally optimized configuration.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for controlling power consumption of a computer server. SOLUTION: According to a preferable embodiment of this invention, current workload information and current capacity information on a group of computer servers in a computer server pool are determined. Base on the determined workload information, a short-term history and a long-term history of the workload information are generated. Then, information on the short-term fluctuation of workload is determined. Similarly, information on the long-term fluctuation of the workload is determined. According to the combination of the determined short-term information and long-term information, the power of at least one in a group of the computer servers is turned on or off.

Abstract:
Diskette media and drive determination mechanism in which a diskette controller attempts to read the diskette according to a variety of formats having, for instance, different data transfer rates. A successful read is registered by the controller and that format is thereafter identified with the diskette drive and the diskette media inserted in the drive.
Abstract:
Method and system for writing text characters to a raster scan video display (50, 51) operated in an all-points-addressable, or graphics mode, and for reading characters thus written. A graphic video display buffer (34) directly refreshes the display (50) with graphics data received from a microprogrammed processor (20). The processor (20) writes a character to the display (50) by selecting and loading into the graphics video display buffer (34) a text character dot pattern retrieved from main storage (25, 27), and expanded to a selected pixel and color format, and reads a character previously written by comparing a dot pattern retrieved from the display buffer (34) with dot pattern retrieved from main storage (25, 27).

Abstract:
The method for scrolling graphic and text within a selected window of a display (51, 52) under control of processor (20), consists in specifying the pixel locations of opposite corners of a window to be scrolled and the number of rows to be scrolled, calculating the size and location in the display refresh buffer of the window to be scrolled, and moving the number of rows to be scrolled from source locations to destination locations within the window in the display refresh buffer (34).
