Abstract
Various computing center control and cooling apparatus and methods are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of controlling plural processors of a computing system is provided. The method includes monitoring activity levels of the plural processors over a time interval to determine plural activity level scores. The plural activity level scores are compared with predetermined processor activity level scores corresponding to preselected processor operating modes to determine a recommended operating mode for each of the plural processors. Each of the plural processors is instructed to operate in one of the recommended operating modes.
