A processing system concurrency optimization system includes a processing system having first and second processing subsystems, a power system that is coupled to the first and second processing subsystems, a processing system concurrency optimization database, and a processing system concurrency optimization subsystem that is coupled to the power system and the processing system concurrency optimization database. The processing system concurrency optimization subsystem determines that a first workload has been provided for performance by the processing system, and identifies a first processing system concurrency optimization profile that is associated with the first workload in the processing system concurrency optimization database. Based on the first processing system concurrency optimization profile, the processing system concurrency optimization subsystem configures the power system to provide first power in a first power range to the first processing subsystem and second power in a second power range to the second processing subsystem.

Subsystem power range configuration based on workload profile

A computing cooling system includes a chassis, heat dissipation device(s) in the chassis, a first fan system in the chassis configured to generate a first airflow that is directed past the heat dissipation device(s) and out of the chassis, and a second fan system in the chassis configured to generate a second airflow that is that is directed into the chassis. A board in the chassis includes a first board section located adjacent the first fan system, and a second board section located adjacent the second fan system and configured to receive the second airflow. The first board section includes first components that are thermally coupled to the heat dissipation device(s) and that are configured to operate in a first temperature range, and the second board section includes second components that are configured to operate in a second temperature range that is lower than the first temperature range.

High-performance computing cooling system

A computing device cooling system includes a chassis including chassis surface(s). The chassis houses component(s), chassis surface temperature sensor(s) configured to report a chassis surface temperature associated with the chassis surface(s), component temperature sensor(s) configured to report a component temperature associated with the component(s); a first fan system configured to generate a component cooling airflow that reduces the component temperature of the component(s), and a second fan system configured to generate a chassis surface cooling airflow that reduces the chassis surface temperature of the chassis surface(s). A fan control system is coupled to the chassis surface temperature sensor(s), the component temperature sensor(s), the first fan system, and the second fan system. The fan control system operates the first fan system when a component temperature exceeds a component temperature threshold, and operates the second fan system when a chassis surface temperature exceeds a chassis surface temperature threshold.

Systems and methods that may be implemented to provide supplemental cooling air for a portable information handling system from one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned at multiple different locations relative to a portable information handling system, such as notebook computer or laptop computer. In one example, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to have one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned to align with differing geometries of cooling air inlet opening locations that correspond to different portable information handling system sizes and/or designs.

Mechanically-adjustable supplemental cooling systems and methods for portable information handling systems

A computing cooling system includes a chassis having chassis air inlet(s) and outlet(s). Heat dissipation device(s) thermally coupled to heat producing component(s) are located in the chassis adjacent the chassis air outlet(s). A first fan device located in the chassis adjacent the chassis air inlet(s) pulls first air from outside the chassis into the first fan device via the chassis air inlet(s), and pushes the first air though the heat dissipation device(s) and out of the chassis via the chassis air outlet(s). A second fan device located in the chassis adjacent the chassis air inlet(s) pulls second air from outside the chassis into the second fan device via the chassis air inlet(s), pushes a first portion of the second air past the heat dissipation device(s) and out of the chassis via the chassis air outlet(s), and pushes a second portion of the second air into the chassis.

A power-subsystem-monitoring-based computing system includes a power subsystem coupled to a first computing component. A throttling engine throttles the first computing component when the power subsystem exceeds its maximum power consumption, and de-throttles the first computing component when the power subsystem no longer exceeds its maximum power consumption. The throttling engine also throttles the first computing component when the power subsystem exceeds its rated power consumption for a first time period, and de-throttles the first computing component when the power subsystem no longer exceeds its rated power consumption. The throttling engine also reduces the operating capabilities of the first computing component when throttling has been performed for more than a second time period, and increases the operating capabilities of the first computing component when the throttling has been performed for less than the second time period and the first computing component is operating below its desired operating capability.

A networked system includes a first computing device, second computing devices, and a computing device/application performance optimization system that are all coupled to a network. The computing device/application performance optimization system receives second computing device configuration information for each second computing device while they provided a first application, and second computing device performance information generated by each second computing device in response to providing the first application, and uses them to generate a first computing device/application performance profile. When the computing device/application performance optimization system determines that the first computing device is configured to provide the first application, it generates a first computing device configuration communication that includes at least one first configuration change to a first computing device configuration for the first computing device based on the first computing device/application performance profile, and transmits the first computing device configuration communication to the first computing device.

Performance of a system may be boosted with a boost dock that seals fan interfaces to improve airflow through an information handling system. An apparatus may include a first port configured to seal a first interface between the apparatus and an information handling system. The apparatus may also include a first blower configured to receive ambient air as cool intake air and to blow the cool intake air into the information handling system through the first interface sealed by the first port. The apparatus may further include a second blower configured to receive warm exhaust air from the information handling system through the first interface sealed by the first port and to blow the warm exhaust air out of the apparatus. A method may include steps of sealing a first interface, receiving ambient air, blowing cool intake air, receiving warm exhaust air, and blowing warm exhaust air.
