Managing the operation of a computing device by determining performance-power states

摘要

A method and system for managing the operation of a computing system are described herein. The method includes determining a number of workloads on the computing system. The method also includes determining a number of performance-power states for each workload and a corresponding performance range and power consumption range for each performance-power state. The method further includes managing performance and power consumption of the computing system based on the performance-power states.

1. A method for managing operation of a computing system, comprising:
determining a number of workloads on the computing system; determining a number of performance-power states for each workload and a corresponding performance range and power consumption range for each performance-power state, wherein determining the number of performance-power states comprises determining a plurality of architectural features utilized by each workload, disabling one or more of the architectural features, and operating an input/output communication link at a lower bandwidth; and managing performance and power consumption of the computing system based on the performance-power states.
