Abstract

A method, a data processing system, and a computer program product identify blockages in a heat sink of a data processing system. An electromagnetic emitter and an electromagnetic detector are positioned on opposite sides of the heat sink. An intensity of a stream of electromagnetic radiation directed from the electromagnetic emitter is measured by the electromagnetic detector. Based on the measured intensity of the stream of electromagnetic radiation as measured by the electromagnetic detector, a blockage level of the heat sink is determined. If the blockage level of the heat sink exceeds a blockage threshold, an alert is generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to computer-implemented methods, data processing systems, and electromagnetic detection systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods, data processing systems and electromagnetic detection systems for identifying debris buildup within heat sinks of integrated circuits of data processing systems. Background technique [0002] To deliver powerful computing resources, computer designers must design powerful computer processors and high-speed memory modules. For example, current computer processors are capable of executing billions of computer program instructions per second. Large amounts of power are required to operate these computer processors and memory modules. During operation, a processor can typically consume over 100 watts of power. Consuming a large amount of power generates a considerable amount of heat. Heat generated by a computer processor or memory module can degrade or dest...
