Apparatus, systems, and methods provide dynamic power steering that includes determining a sequence of phases of an application in a node. The sequence corresponds to a time interval associated with an energy budget. For each phase, the dynamic power steering includes determining a power scaling comprising a measured response to an increase or decrease in power distributed to a plurality of power domains in the node, and based on the power scaling for each phase, determining a temporal power distribution between the phases in the sequence to satisfy the energy budget.
