System and method for energy efficient data prefetching |
October 14, 2008 |
| A computer system uses a prefetch prediction model having energy usage parameters to predict the impact of prefetching specified files on the system's energy usage. A prefetch prediction engine utilizes the prefetch prediction model to evaluate the specified files with respect to prefetc |

Cooling system for computer systems |
December 18, 2007 |
| A cooling system for cooling computer systems detects heat dissipated by the computer systems. If the heat dissipated by the computer systems exceeds a threshold, at least one component of the computer systems is placed in a lower-power state to reduce heat dissipation. |

Load management in a power system |
June 26, 2007 |
| Load demands in a power system are managed by determining whether load demands on one or more power system components need to be varied. If the load demands need to be varied, new load demands to be placed on the power system components are determined. The load demands on the power s |

Application management based on power consumption |
October 24, 2006 |
| A plurality of computer systems is operable to execute an application. A power consumption is determined for a first computer system if the first computer system were to execute the application, and a power consumption is determined for at least one other computer system if the second |
