| 20110179301 | AUTOMATIC DISCOVERY OF SERVER TO POWER-CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS - In a data center which includes a plurality of servers, a discovery computer, a power measurement system (PMS), and a plurality of power-circuits which supply power to the servers, the discovery computer performs the following actions for each server. It transmits a first command to the server causing the server to start generating a power consumption signature if the server is able to do so. Upon receiving a SUCCESS response from the server, it instructs the PMS to start measuring the power consumption from each power-circuit. After a prescribed interval of time has elapsed, it collects the measurements from the PMS and analyzes the measurements to look for the presence of the signature. Upon detecting the signature in the measurement taken from a particular power-circuit, the discovery computer concludes that the server is connected to the particular power-circuit and creates a mapping there-between. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110184936 | DYNAMIC COMMUNITY-BASED CACHE FOR MOBILE SEARCH - A “Community-Based Mobile Search Cache” provides various techniques for maximizing the number of query results served from a local “query cache”, thereby significantly limiting the need to connect to the Internet or cloud using 3G or other wireless links to service search queries.

| 20110213997 | VIRTUAL MACHINE POWER CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT - Embodiments of the virtual machine power metering system and method measure the power consumption of individual virtual machines. Power meter measurements for a physical host server are converted into individual virtual machine power meters that measure the power consumption of each individual virtual machine residing on the host server. The virtual machine power consumption is computed by generating a power model using the total power consumption of the host server and resource utilization for a virtual machine. Optimal power model coefficients are computed using the power model. The energy used by the virtual machine is computed using one of two embodiments. Embodiments of the system and method also can be used to obtain the power consumption for a specific activity (such as a service, request, or search query). In addition, the virtual machine power metering can be used for virtual machine power capping to allow power oversubscription in virtualized environments. | 09-01-2011 |
