Abstract
A processor used in a multi-node system includes a detecting module, to obtain voltage and current information of all nodes in the multi-node system periodically. A calculating module calculates energy being consumed by each node of all the nodes according to the obtained voltage and current information. A determining module determines a node which needs to be reduced according to the energy calculation. A control module turns on a switch which is connected with the node whose energy needs to be reduced, thereby powering off the node whose energy needs to be reduced.
