    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to control cooling in an edge environment are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes programmable circuitry to determine whether a first cooling parameter for a first edge node is satisfied based on first cooling availability information for the first edge node, when the first cooling parameter is satisfied, cause a first distribution unit to maintain an amount of cooling fluid to the first edge node, and when the first cooling parameter is not satisfied, cause at least one of the first distribution unit or a second distribution unit to adjust the amount of cooling fluid to at least one of the first edge node or a second edge node based on the first cooling availability information and second cooling availability information, the second cooling availability information for the second edge node.

    Abstract: A performance monitor provides cache miss stall and memory bandwidth usage metric samples to a resource exhaustion detector. The detector can detect the presence of last-level cache and memory bandwidth exhaustion conditions based on the metric samples. If cache miss stalls and memory bandwidth usage are both trending up, the detector reports a memory bandwidth exhaustion condition to a resource controller. If cache miss stalls are trending up and memory bandwidth usage is trending down, the detector reports a last-level cache exhaustion condition to the resource controller. The resource controller can allocate additional last-level cache or memory bandwidth to the processor unit to remediate the resource exhaustion condition. If bandwidth-related metric samples indicate that a processor unit may be overloaded due to receiving high bandwidth traffic, the resource controller can take a traffic rebalancing remedial action.

    Abstract: Methods to automatically prioritize input/output (I/O) for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) workloads at platform overload and associated apparatus and mechanisms. During lab or runtime workload operations, various platform telemetry data are collected and analyzed to determine whether a current workload is uncore-sensitive—that is, sensitive to operations involving utilization of the uncore circuitry such as I/O-related operations, memory bandwidth utilization, LLC utilization, network traffic, core-to-core traffic etc. For uncore sensitive workloads, upon detection of a platform overload condition such as a thermal load approaching a TDP limit, the uncore circuitry is prioritized over the core circuitry such that the frequency of the core is reduced first. A closed-loop feedback mechanism is used to adjust the frequencies of the core and uncore under various workload conditions. The mechanism enables I/O throughput to be maintained for NFV workloads, while reducing the processor thermal load.

    Abstract: Telemetry systems for monitoring cooling of compute components and related apparatus and methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry, machine-readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine-readable instructions to generate a heatmap based on outputs of one or more sensors in an environment, the environment including a first compute device, the sensor outputs including a metric associated with a property of a coolant and a location of the sensor in the environment, identify a compute performance metric of the first compute device, determine a cooling parameter for the first compute device based on the heatmap and the compute performance metric, and cause a cooling distribution unit to control flow of the coolant in the environment based on the cooling parameter.
