Abstract
A method for managing a plurality of computing devices comprises: periodically collecting status information from the plurality of computing devices; providing a user interface including: a first control to select one or more of the plurality of computing devices; and a second control to select one of a plurality of operating modes, the plurality of operating modes including: a manual mode in which the one or more selected computing devices are operated according to user selected settings; and an intelligent mode in which the one or more selected computing devices are operated according to dynamic settings; and in response to one or more of the plurality of computing devices being selected with the first control and one of the plurality of operating modes being selected with the second control, applying the selected operating mode to the one or more selected computing devices.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a method for managing a plurality of computing devices by periodically collecting status information from the plurality of computing devices and presenting a user interface. The user interface includes a first control to select one or more of the plurality of computing devices and a second control to select one of a plurality of operating modes, including a manual mode and an intelligent mode.
In response to a requested change that includes a selection of one of the operating modes for the selected computing devices, the method simulates the effects of the requested change. Based on the results of the simulation, the method applies the selected settings to the selected computing devices, and the simulated results indicate at least one of expected device damage or estimated reduction in remaining device lifespan.
The method automatically enforces interdependent settings in the intelligent mode and generates a warning in the manual mode when one or more user selected settings exceed a predetermined safe range. A data center version includes a first computer that periodically reads and stores status information from second computers disposed on a hash board and provides the same user interface and simulation-based application of settings.
Claims Coverage
The partial content provides two independent claims: a method and a data center. The independent claims center on periodic collection of status information, a user interface for selecting computing devices and operating modes, simulation of requested changes, application of selected settings based on simulation results, and safety-related behaviors including interdependent settings enforcement and manual-mode warnings when settings exceed a predetermined safe range.
Periodically collecting status information and device/mode selection interface
Periodically collecting status information from the plurality of computing devices; providing a user interface including a first control to select one or more of the plurality of computing devices and a second control to select one of a plurality of operating modes including a manual mode and an intelligent mode.
Simulation-based application of requested operating change
In response to a requested change including a selection of one of the plurality of operating modes for one or more selected computing devices, simulating the effects of the requested change and, based on the results of the simulation, applying the selected settings to the one or more selected computing devices; wherein the simulating includes modeling the requested change and providing simulated results indicating at least one of expected device damage or estimated reduction in remaining device lifespan.
Intelligent-mode enforcement of interdependent settings
Interdependent settings are automatically enforced in the intelligent mode; wherein dynamic settings dependent on a proper configuration of another dynamic setting are automatically enforced in the intelligent mode.
Manual-mode safety warnings for exceeding a safe range
In response to detecting that one or more user selected settings exceed a predetermined safe range, generating a warning in the manual mode.
Data center architecture with periodic reading/storing and hash board disposition
A data center comprising a first computer with a processor and a memory and a plurality of second computers in communication with the first computer via one or more networks, at least one second computer disposed on a hash board; wherein the first computer periodically reads and stores status information from the plurality of second computers and provides a user interface to select one or more of the plurality of second computers and one of a plurality of different operating modes, including manual mode, semi-automated mode, automated mode, and intelligent mode.
Overall claim coverage centers on selecting computing devices and operating modes via a user interface, simulating requested changes and using simulation results that indicate expected device damage or estimated reduction in remaining device lifespan, enforcing interdependent settings automatically in intelligent mode, and warning in manual mode when user selected settings exceed a predetermined safe range, with the data center claim adding periodic reading and storing of status information and second computers disposed on a hash board.
