Abstract
Since the maximum power consumption is largely a concern at the power supply domain, a limited number of nodes may be allowed to consume their maximum power consumption by preventing other nodes from consuming their maximum power consumption. This approach may be used either instead of or in cooperation with existing maximum power consumption regulators.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- in a processor based system, allowing some components to consume power at a given level while preventing other components from consuming power at that same given level.
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for execution by a processor to perform a sequence comprising:
- allowing some components to consume power at a given level while preventing other components capable of consuming power at the given level from consuming power at that same given level.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first power consuming component;
- a second power consuming component;
- and
- a processor to allow the first component to consume power at a given level while preventing the second component from consuming power at that same given level.
