A system and method for active disturbance rejection based thermal control is configured to receive, at a first active disturbance rejection thermal control (ADRC) controller, a first temperature measurement from a first thermal zone. The ADRC controller generates a first output control signal for controlling a first cooling element, wherein the first output control signal is generated according a first estimated temperature and a first estimated disturbance calculated by a first extended state observer (ESO) of the first ADRC controller.

Methods and apparatus to execute a workload in an edge environment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a node scheduler to accept a task from a workload scheduler, the task including a description of a workload and tokens, a workload executor to execute the workload, the node scheduler to access a result of execution of the workload and provide the result to the workload scheduler, and a controller to access the tokens and distribute at least one of the tokens to at least one provider, the provider to provide a resource to the apparatus to execute the workload.

A method includes generating temperature information from a plurality of temperature sensors within a computing device; and processing the temperature information to generate voltage reduction steps based on an observed rate of change of the temperature information.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a chassis and at least one plugin unit mounted in the chassis. The plugin unit includes a substrate, a heat receiving member, a radiator, and a heat transfer member. The substrate mounts a first electronic component and a second electronic component having a higher heat release value than the first electronic component. The heat receiving member receives heat by contacting the second electronic component. The radiator is shaped as a duct. The heat transfer member transfers the heat from the heat receiving member to the radiator. The chassis includes a fan that generates air-current inside the radiator and on one or more component mounting surfaces of the substrate.

Custom cooling strategies may be implemented for different regions in computers, servers, and other information handling systems. Chassis architecture may have multiple cooling fans, with each fan cooling a different region via dedicated duct work. A user or administrator may thus implement different cooling strategies for internal components, based on different thermal curves defined for each different region.

A compute device may include one or more processors operable at variable performance levels depending upon power supplied from a compute device power supply. A baseboard management controller of the compute device may periodically calculate an adjustment value for the power supply to adjust the power delivered to the one or more processors. The adjustment value may be calculated as a function of a thermal margin between the temperature of the one or more processors over time and a thermal operating limit of the one or more processors.
