摘要:
A performance measure (e.g., processor speed) for computing components such as servers is optimized by creating models of power consumption versus the performance measure for each server, adding the power models to derive an overall power model, and calculating an optimum set point for the performance measure which corresponds to a power limit on the servers using the overall power model. The set point is then used to set power budgets for the servers based on their power models, and the servers maintain power levels no greater than their respective power budgets. The server power models are preferably created in real time by monitoring power consumption and the performance measure to derive sets of data points for the servers, and performing regression on the sets of data points to yield power models for the servers. Multiple server power models may be created for different program applications.

Methods, computers, and products for managing power consumption of a computer, the computer including a computer processor and managing power consumption of a computer includes: dynamically during operation of the computer, setting, by an in-band power manager in dependence upon performance metrics of the computer processor, a current performance state (‘p-state’) of the computer processor; and providing, by the in-band power manager to an out-of-band power manager, the current p-state of the computer processor.
摘要:
A system for associating power consumption with a network address. Network traffic is inspected to determine network addresses. The network addresses are assigned to one or more servers. A power output of a plurality of power outlets is measured to determine a power consumption of the one or more servers connected to the plurality of power outlets. The network addresses assigned to the one or more servers is associated with the power consumption of the one or more servers. A total power consumption is calculated for the one or more servers having an association of network addresses with power consumption. Then, the total power consumption is recorded for the one or more servers in a table and a user is provided access to the table.
