Abstract

A power management system for a multiple compute component system. The management system enables operational management of individual compute components in two low power states of operation, suspend and hibernate. In addition, the management system enables granular management of power consuming accessories within an individual compute component. When a compute component is in the low power state of suspend or hibernate, it may be hot-swapped to a different locale. In addition, when a compute component is restored from a low power state of hibernate, it may access an alternate image in the system.
Accordingly, the power management system allows for five state of operation of an individual component in a multiple compute component system.

Claims (24)

1. A method for managing power within a compute component of a multiprocessor system, comprising the steps of:
(a) analyzing power consumption of said compute component;
(b) determining a level of power consumption required for said compute component based upon said power consumption analysis; and (c) modifying a state of operation of said compute component in response to said determination of said required level of power consumption.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of controlling granular management of a power consuming accessory within said compute component.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein said power consuming accessory is selected from the group consisting of: a microprocessor, a disk drive, I/O port, a chip, and combinations thereof.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of modifying a state of operation of said component includes changing power consumption of said compute component through a switch.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of modifying a state of operation of said compute component includes controlling said state of operation of said compute component, via a software management system.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein said state of operation of said compute component is selected from the group consisting of: maximum power, selective reduction of a hardware accessory, suspend, hibernate, resume, restore, off, and combinations thereof.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of accessing an alternative image when said component is returning from a low power state of operation.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of accessing an alternative image includes accessing an alternative image within a network attached storage upon restoring said component from a low power state.
9. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of hot-swapping said compute component when said component is operating in a low power state.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein said low power state is selected from the group consisting of: suspend and hibernate.
11. A multiprocessor computing system, comprising:
a plurality of compute components;
a manager adapted to analyze power consumption of said components, wherein said manager is adapted to invoke a modification of a state of operation of said component in response to said analysis.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein said modification of a state of operation includes granular management of a power consuming accessory of said component.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein said accessory is selected from the group consisting of: a microprocessor, a disk drive, an I/O port, a chip, and combinations thereof.
14. The system of claim 11, wherein said component operates in a state selected from the group consisting of: maximum power, selective reduction of power, suspend, hibernate, resume, restore, off, and combinations thereof.
15. The system of claim 11, further comprising a storage manager adapted to instruct said component to access an alternative image stored in a~
network storage device during a restore function.
16. The system of claim 11, wherein said component is adapted to accommodate a hot-swap procedure when said component is in a low power state.
17. The system of claim 16, wherein said low power state is selected from the group consisting of:
suspend and hibernate.
18. An article comprising:
a computer-readable signal-bearing medium;
a manager to analyze power consumption of a compute component in a multiple compute component computing environment;

a control system in the medium responsive to said manager for changing a state of operation of a compute component.
19. The article of claim 18, wherein the medium is selected from the group consisting of: a recordable data storage medium and a modulated carrier signal.
20. The article of claim 18, wherein said state of operation of said compute component is selected from the group consisting of: maximum power, selective reduction of a hardware accessory, suspend, hibernate, resume, restore, off, and combinations thereof.
21. The article of claim 20, wherein said control system is adapted to control management of a power consuming accessory within said compute component.
22. The article of claim 21, wherein said power consuming accessory is selected from the group consisting of: a microprocessor, a disk drive, an I/O port, a chip, and combinations thereof.
23. The article of claim 18, wherein said control system accesses an alternative image within a network attached storage for said compute component when said component is returning from a hibernate state.
24. The article of claim 18, wherein said control system is adapted to accommodate a hot-swap of said compute component when said component is operating in a low power state.
