| − | The abstract describes a time management system that uses a baseboard management controller (BMC) to synchronize time across a host system. The BMC receives time information from a time source and maintains a master time based on this information. It then synchronizes the time values of the host system, including the operating system time and device times, with the master time. This ensures that all time-related functions on the host system are accurately synchronized.

| − | '''Abstract'''
| |
| − | A BMC-based time management system includes a host system and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC implements a BMC time manager to perform time management and synchronization operations including receiving, from a time source, time information such as a timestamp corresponding to a particular time, e.g., year, month, day, hour, second, and milliseconds, sometimes referred to herein as an initial time. The BMC manager maintains, in accordance with the initial time, a BMC-determined time, referred to herein as the master time. The BMC time manager synchronizes one or more host system time values, also referred to herein as subordinate time values, in accordance with the master time. The one or more subordinate time parameters may include a host OS time, and one or more host device times. In this manner, the BMC maintains the master time and synchronizes host system time values.

| − | This abstract describes a tablet information handling system that can be charged wirelessly using a charging stand and charging dock. The system uses magnets to hold the tablet in place while it is being charged. The magnets provide the strongest attraction when the tablet is in a landscape or portrait orientation. However, when the user wants to remove the tablet from the charging stand or dock, they can rotate it to an offset orientation where the magnets align with opposing spaces, resulting in a reduced magnetic attraction. A sensor detects this offset rotation by detecting the increased magnetic flux, and the user interface provides an indication to the user that the tablet is positioned for separation from the charging stand or dock.

| |
| − | A tablet information handling system selectively couples to a charging stand and charging dock with opposing sets of spaced magnets to have magnetic attraction hold a wireless charging receiver aligned with a wireless charger. Magnetic attraction is greatest when the tablet information handling system couples in a landscape or portrait orientation and is reduced for removal of the tablet information handling system by rotating to an offset orientation so that magnets align with opposing spaces, resulting in a reduced magnetic attraction. A sensor disposed in a space detects the offset rotation by detecting the increased magnetic flux of the magnet aligning with the space so that a user interface can provide an end user with an indication that the tablet information handling system is positioned for separation from the charging stand or charging dock.

| − | The abstract describes a power management system that controls the distribution of power to computing devices. The system includes power infrastructure components that connect the devices to power sources, and a power management subsystem that determines the power requirements of each device and the limitations of the power infrastructure. Based on this information, the subsystem creates a power infrastructure architecture that optimizes the performance of each device while ensuring the availability of power even if some components fail. The system then provides specific current limits to each device to achieve these goals.

| |
| − | A power management system includes a power infrastructure having power infrastructure components that couple computing devices to power source(s), and a power management subsystem coupled to the computing devices. The power management subsystem identifies power requirement information for each of the computing devices and power transmission limitation information for the power infrastructure components, and determines a power infrastructure architecture that identifies how the power infrastructure components couple the computing devices to the power source(s). The power management subsystem then uses the power requirement information, the power transmission limitation information, and the power infrastructure architecture to generate and provide a respective input current limit to each of the computing devices. Each respective input current limit is configured to maximize performance of the respective computing device for which it was generated while ensuring availability of the power infrastructure in the event of an unavailability of a subset of the power infrastructure components.

| − | This abstract describes an apparatus that can detect and manage the input-output (IO) pressure condition of a storage system. The apparatus includes a processing device that can detect the IO pressure condition of a logical storage volume, receive IO operations directed to that volume, and extract processing entity identifiers from the received operations. Based on these identifiers, the apparatus can perform IO throttling for the logical storage volume. This means that certain groups of IO operations with specific processing entity identifiers may be subject to IO throttling, while others with different identifiers may not be affected. The apparatus allows for different levels of IO throttling based on the processing entity identifiers extracted from the IO operations.

For example, a first group of one or more of the IO operations each having a first processing entity identifier may be subject to the IO throttling, while a second group of one or more of the IO operations each having a second processing entity identifier different than the first processing entity identifier is not subject to the IO throttling. Other differences in IO throttling can be implemented using the extracted processing entity identifiers.

| − | The abstract describes a study that analyzes individual processors in a storage system to determine the most important thread types for a specific workload. The importance of each thread type is measured by the number of CPU cycles used. Different permutations of CPU cycle access are calculated, giving more cycles to the most important thread types. These permutations are then tested with the same workload to find the one that results in the highest average IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second). The thread scheduler for the processor is then configured with this optimal permutation.

A test framework may then be invoked to access the test framework files and execute test scripts in accordance with the test framework files.
