Claim Text:
1. A cooling apparatus comprising: a coolant-cooled cold plate configured to couple to at least one electronic component to be cooled, the coolant-cooled cold plate comprising at least one coolant-carrying channel internal to the coolant-cooled cold plate and at least one internal plate within the coolant-cooled cold plate; and a controller configured to dynamically vary an internal physical configuration of the coolant-cooled cold plate based on a monitored variable associated with at least one of the coolant-cooled cold plate or the at least one electronic component to be cooled by the coolant-cooled cold plate, wherein the dynamically varying the internal physical configuration comprises changing location of the at least one internal plate within the coolant-cooled cold plate to dynamically reconfigure the at least one coolant-carrying channel within the coolant-cooled cold plate and thereby alter at least one of thermal or fluid dynamic performance of the coolant-cooled cold plate cooling the electronic component.
