Coordinated multi-device power management

摘要

Techniques related to coordinating power management for multiple devices are discussed. Such techniques may include establishing communications between devices, inventorying the components of each device, and implementing a power management plan to eliminate any redundancy in the components and reduce the total power consumed by the devices.

主权项

1. A method for providing power management across a plurality of devices comprising:
establishing, at a first device, a communicative coupling to a second device; inventorying, at the first device, a component of the second device having a redundancy with a component of the first device; implementing, at the first device, a power management plan for the first device and the second device that eliminates the redundancy and reduces total power consumed by the plurality of devices, wherein the power management plan comprises shutting down the component of the first device; and mapping, at the first device, the component of the second device to the first device via the communicative coupling to allow the first device to access the component of the second device.
