Systems, devices, and/or methods for managing energy usage

摘要

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, machine, device, manufacture, circuit, and/or user interface adapted for, and/or a method and/or machine-readable medium comprising machine-implementable instructions for, activities that can comprise, based on a predicted non-zero future power requirement for performing one or more portions of an expected workload by a predetermined system, the predicted future power requirement based on a past power requirement for performing one or more portions of a known workload by the predetermined system, automatically causing a change from a first power state of the predetermined system to a second power state that does not violate a specification for performing the one or more portions of the expected workload.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
via a predetermined processor:
based on a predicted non-zero future power requirement for performing one or more portions of an expected workload by a predetermined system, said predicted future power requirement based on a past power requirement for performing one or more portions of a known workload by said predetermined system, automatically causing a change from a first power state of said predetermined system to a second power state that does not violate a guaranteed deterministically-bounded explicit specification for performing said one or more portions of the expected workload, the specification requiring that the predetermined system will not exceed a user-defined acceptable level of performance loss.
