COMPUTING DEVICES OPERABLE ON RECOVERED WASTE HEAT

摘要

Systems and methods for operating based on recovered waste heat are described. In one example, the method includes receiving recovered waste heat power and operating at least one system component of a recovered waste heat based computing device based on the recovered waste heat power, where the at least one system component is coupled to a non-volatile memory of the recovered waste heat based computing device. The method further includes preserving operational states of the at least one system component in the non-volatile memory based on a current power level associated with the recovered waste heat power.

1. A recovered waste heat based computing device, comprising:
a processor; a non-volatile memory coupled to the processor; at least one system component coupled to the processor; and a power management module coupled to the processor to:
supply power, received from a waste heat source, to the processor, the non-volatile memory, and the at least one system component;monitor the waste heat source to determine a current power level associated with the waste heat source; andbased on the determination, initiate a power retrench mode, wherein the power retrench mode preserves operational states of the at least one system component in the non-volatile memory.
