Systems and methods for peak power limit control in heterogenous computing platforms are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a heterogeneous computing platform having a plurality of devices and a memory coupled to the heterogeneous computing platform, where the memory comprises firmware instructions that, upon execution by at least one of the plurality of devices, causes the at least one device to operate as an orchestrator configured to: in response to a determination that a current power level used by a selected device exceeds a peak power limit, restrict an amount of power used by the selected device; in response to detection of a peripheral device coupled to the IHS, reduce the peak power limit; and in response to a determination that the current power level exceeds the reduced peak power limit, further restrict the amount of power used by the selected device.
An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
A method, comprising:
A memory coupled to a heterogeneous computing platform, wherein the heterogeneous computing platform comprises a plurality of devices, wherein the memory is configured to receive a plurality of sets of firmware instructions, wherein each set of firmware instructions, upon execution by a respective device among the plurality of devices, enables the respective device to provide a corresponding firmware service without any involvement by any host Operating System (OS), and wherein at least one of the plurality of devices operates as an orchestrator configured to:
