HYPERSCALE POWER CONTROL FOR IMPROVED DATACENTER UTILIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126355 titled 'HYPERSCALE POWER CONTROL FOR IMPROVED DATACENTER UTILIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a server system with an electrical hierarchy that allows for monitoring and managing power draw at different levels to ensure safe operation.

  • The electrical hierarchy includes levels such as transformer, bus segment, power distribution unit (PDU), and server device.
  • Each level has a nominal safety level of power draw, which may be lower than the actual maximum power draw capability.
  • A power manager monitors power draw at multiple levels and can determine if it is permissible to exceed the nominal safety level of power draw for a server device, group of devices, or a portion of the hierarchy.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in data centers, cloud computing facilities, and other server systems where managing power consumption and ensuring safe operation are critical.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures safe power draw levels at different levels of the electrical hierarchy. 2. Allows for efficient power management and optimization in server systems.

Benefits

1. Improved safety and reliability of server systems. 2. Enhanced power management capabilities. 3. Potential for energy savings and cost reduction.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Power Management in Server Systems for Enhanced Efficiency and Safety"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to power management systems in server environments, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does the power manager determine when it is permissible to exceed the nominal safety level of power draw?

The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific criteria or algorithms used by the power manager to make these determinations.

Are there any specific technologies or components mentioned in the patent application that enable this power management system?

The abstract does not mention any specific technologies or components that are used to implement the power management system described.


Original Abstract Submitted

a server system can have an electrical hierarchy that includes a transformer level, a bus segment level, a power distribution unit (pdu) level, and a server device level. the different levels can have nominal safety levels of power draw that are lower than the actual maximum power draw capability. based on monitoring power draw at multiple levels of the electrical hierarchy, a power manager can determine that it is permissible for a server device, a group of server devices, or a portion of the electrical hierarchy to exceed the nominal safety level of power draw.
