Methods and apparatus to manage throttling in computing environments
Methods and apparatus to manage throttling in computing environments are described herein. One example method may include receiving an indication that a first memory module has reached a temperature and remapping information from the first memory module to a second memory in response to the received indication. Other methods are described.
1. A method to manage throttling in computing environment, the method comprising:
receiving an indication that a first memory module has reached a temperature;
remapping information from the first memory module to a second memory in response to the received indication; and
maintaining a structure indicating portions of the first memory module that have been accessed.
2. A method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the second memory comprises a second memory module.
3. A method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the second memory comprises flash memory.
4. A method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the second memory comprises a hard drive.
5. A method as defined in claim 1 , wherein receiving the indication comprises receiving an interrupt from the first memory module.
6. A method as defined in claim 5 , wherein receiving the indication comprises receiving signals from a system management bus.
7. A method as defined in claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication that a system in which the first memory module and the second memory reside has reached a system temperature.
8. A method as defined in claim 7 , further comprising disabling the first memory module in response to the indication that the system has reached a system temperature.
9. A method to manage throttling in computing environment, the method comprising:
receiving an indication that a first memory module has reached a temperature;
remapping information from the first memory module to a second memory in response to the received indication;
receiving an indication that a system in which the first memory module and the second memory reside has reached a system temperature; and
disabling the first memory module in response to the indication that the system has reached a system temperature, wherein disabling the first memory module comprises performing Advanced Configuration and Power Interface hot unplug operation.
10. An article of manufacture comprising a machine-accessible medium having a plurality of machine accessible instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to:
receive an indication that a first memory module has reached a temperature;
remap information from the first memory module to a second memory in response to the received indication; and
maintain a structure indicating portions of the first memory module that have been accessed.
11. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 10 , wherein the second memory comprises a second memory module.
12. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 10 , wherein the second memory comprises flash memory.
13. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 10 , wherein the second memory comprises a hard drive.
14. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 10 , wherein receiving the indication comprises receiving an interrupt from the first memory module.
15. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 14 , wherein receiving the indication comprises receiving signals from a system management bus.
16. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 10 , wherein the plurality of machine accessible instructions, when executed, cause a machine to receive an indication that a system in which the first memory module and the second memory reside has reached a system temperature.
17. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 16 , wherein the plurality of machine accessible instructions, when executed, cause a machine to disable the first memory module in response to the indication that the system has reached a system temperature.
18. A machine-accessible medium as defined by claim 17 , wherein disabling the first memory module comprises performing Advanced Configuration and Power Interface hot unplug operation.
