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:
An improved system and method for performing power management on a distributed system. The system utilized to implement the present invention includes multiple servers for processing a set of tasks. The method of performing power management on a system first determines if the processing capacity of the system exceeds a predetermined workload. If the processing capacity exceeds a predetermined level, at least one of the multiple servers on the network is selected to be powered down and the tasks across the remaining servers are rebalanced. If the workload exceeds a predetermined processing capacity of the system and at least a server in a reduced power state may be powered up to a higher power state to increase the overall processing capacity of the system.

Abstract:
A method of enhancing software dependability, includes measuring an elapsed time in a software system running on a computer, determining whether the elapsed time matches a threshold, and when the elapsed time matches the threshold, rejuvenating at least a portion of the software system to reduce the likelihood of an outage and without modifying an application running in the software system.
