A method includes identifying time values for a length of time to carry out process fluid delivery within multiple processing chambers that concurrently process multiple substrates; translating each time value to a recipe parameter for execution of an operation of a processing recipe; and causing the operation to be performed using each recipe parameter as a control value to control valves of a fluid panel of the multiple processing chambers. For each processing chamber of the multiple processing chambers, selectively controlling process fluid flow to the process chamber for a first period of time corresponding to a time value of the set of time values and to a divert foreline of the process chamber for a second period of time.

A system is provided, which manages, by a microcontroller internal to a fan installed in a server, power data associated with the fan, wherein the fan includes two pins configured to communicate signals based on an inter-integrated circuit (I2C). During operation of the fan, the microcontroller measures a first and second amount of power consumed by the fan at a first and second time. The microcontroller transmits, via the two pins, the information to a system management entity which monitors and manages the server, wherein the system management entity controls a speed of the fan in response to receiving the measured power data and based on a net power comprising a difference between a total amount of power consumed by the server and an amount of power consumed by the fan.

One embodiment of the present invention discloses a two-phase configuration process (“TCP”) to configure a field-programmable gate array (“FPGA”) to include a configurable microcontroller unit (“CMU”) during a phase I configuration and configuring the CMU during a phase II configuration. TCP, in one aspect, is able to receive first configuration data from a first external storage location via a communication bus. After storing the first configuration data in a first configuration memory for configuring FPGA to contain a CMU for the phase I configuration, second configuration data with MCU attributes is obtained from a second external storage location via the communication bus. The second configuration data is subsequently stored in a second configuration memory for programming the CMU for the phase II configuration.
