Power management apparatus 200, 204 and method comprising a processor obtaining data representing perceived performance of a computer device; a processor executing a power management algorithm that uses at least the data representing perceived performance and data representing current load of the computer device as inputs, and a communication unit configured to transmit a hardware configuration signal, configuring a hardware component of the computer device based on an output of the power management algorithm. The power management algorithm may comprise a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling algorithm. A further input may be used by the power management algorithm, which may be power usage, processor load, processor frequency, bus load, bus frequency, storage device activity, or temperature. The data represent perceived performance may the frames per second generated by the computer device. |
