RECONFIGURATION OF COMPUTING DEVICE AND/OR NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICES BASED ON THERMAL ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- an inventory module that detects one or more locations for one or more non-volatile memory express (“
NVMe”
) devices coupled to a plurality of slots such that at least one of the slots is empty, wherein the one or more NVMe devices thermally affect one or more further components of a computing device;
a thermal analysis module that determines one or more thermal characteristics for a current configuration comprising locations of the one or more NVMe devices and the one or more further components, and for one or more possible reconfigurations; and
a reconfiguration module that selects a reconfiguration from the one or more possible reconfigurations based on the one or more determined thermal characteristics.

Abstract
An apparatus for reconfiguring a computing device includes an inventory module, a thermal analysis module, and a reconfiguration module. The inventory module detects one or more locations for one or more non-volatile memory express (“NVMe”) devices. The one or more NVMe devices are coupled to a plurality of slots such that at least one of the slots is empty. The one or more NVMe devices thermally affect one or more further components of a computing device. The thermal analysis module determines one or more thermal characteristics for a current configuration and for one or more possible reconfigurations. The current configuration includes locations of the one or more NVMe devices and the one or more further components. The reconfiguration module selects a reconfiguration from the one or more possible reconfigurations based on the one or more determined thermal characteristics.
