System performance using cooling configuration information

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product for improving system performance using cooling configuration information are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A set of components in a data processing system is indexed according to corresponding amounts of cooling available to the components in the set. Priorities are assigned to component users in a set of component users. Using a processor and a memory, a component whose index value represents a higher than threshold amount of cooling availability to the component is allocated to a component user whose priority is higher than a threshold priority.

1. A computer implemented method for improving system performance using cooling configuration information, the method comprising:
indexing a set of components in a data processing system according to corresponding amounts of cooling available to the components in the set, wherein an amount of cooling available to a component in the set of components is dependent upon a cooling configuration of the component in the data processing system, and wherein the cooling configuration includes a measure of a proximity of the component to a coolant inlet in the data processing system; assigning priorities to component users in a set of component users; and allocating, using a processor and a memory, a component whose index value represents a higher than threshold amount of cooling availability to the component to a component user whose priority is higher than a threshold priority.
