System and method for normalization of GPU workloads based on real-time GPU data

A method, comprising:

• accessing, by a baseboard management controller of an information handling system, a management controller agent instantiated by a main processor of the information handling system to obtain a first performance status from a first graphics processing unit (GPU) of the information handling system and to obtain a second performance status from a second GPU of the information handling system, wherein the management controller is accessed by the baseboard management controller via a first interface, and wherein the first interface is a Universal Serial Bus Network Interface Card (USB-NIC) interface;
• comparing, by the baseboard management controller, the first performance with the second performance status;
• determining, by the baseboard management controller, whether or not to direct the GPU throttle module to throttle the first GPU based upon the comparison;
• and
• directing, via a second interface of the information handling system, a GPU throttle module of the information handling system to throttle the first GPU when it is determined to direct the GPU throttle module to throttle the first GPU, wherein the second interface operates out-of-band from the host processing system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code for performing a method, the method comprising:

• accessing, by a baseboard management controller of an information handling system, a management controller agent instantiated by a main processor of the information handling system to obtain a first performance status from a first graphics processing unit (GPU) of the information handling system and to obtain a second performance status from a second GPU of the information handling system, wherein the management controller is accessed by the baseboard management controller via a first interface, and wherein the first interface is a Universal Serial Bus Network Interface Card (USB-NIC) interface;
• comparing, by the baseboard management controller, the first performance status with the second performance status;
• determining, by the baseboard management controller, whether or not to direct the GPU throttle module to throttle the first GPU based upon the comparison;
• and
• directing, via a second interface of the information handling system, a GPU throttle module of the information handling system to throttle the first GPU when it is determined to direct the GPU throttle module to throttle the first GPU, wherein the second interface is an interface that operates out-of-band from the host processing system.
