Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention describe a nonhomogeneous server deployment in which different classes of servers are placed within a data center unit, such as a rack or chassis. In one aspect, the cooling capacity for the unit is intentionally sized to be incapable of providing enough cooling to maintain an acceptable operational temperature for the servers, if all servers in the rack are simultaneously in an active processing mode. The control fabric maintains an acceptable operating temperature within the unit by assigning workloads to only a portion of the servers within the unit at a given point in time. In one aspect, servers are arranged within a data center unit according to anticipated peak periods of usage. Units can be arranged to be adjacent to servers optimized for a specialized workload having a peak period of usage that differs from each other.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for managing workloads within a data center, the method comprising:\n during a first time period, setting substantially all of a first class of server within a data center rack to a low power mode, the data center rack having a nonhomogeneous deployment of servers comprising at least the first class of server and a second class of server, an amount of available cooling for the data center rack being insufficient to cool all servers in the first class of server and the second class of server running in an active processing mode, wherein the first class of server has a first hardware configuration and the second class of server has a second hardware configuration, wherein the first hardware configuration comprises a graphics processing unit (\u201cGPU\u201d) and the second hardware configuration does not include GPU, wherein the nonhomogeneous deployment is in a repeating pattern of a unit of the first class of server adjacent to a unit of the second class of server; and during a second time period in the data center, setting substantially all of the second class of server within the data center rack to the low power mode, the second time period not substantially overlapping with the first time period.
