APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION OF DEVICES PERFORMING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN A PROCESSOR AND I/O DEVICES

摘要

An information processing apparatus is connected to a plurality of input/output devices. The information processing apparatus includes an arithmetic processing device configured to perform a computation, and a plurality of communication devices each configured to perform a communication between the plurality of input/output devices and the arithmetic processing device. The information processing apparatus further includes a determination unit configured to determine a communication device whose power consumption is controllable, among the plurality of communication devices, and a managing unit configured to suppress power consumption of the communication device determined by the determination unit.
