1. A computer-implemented method of allocating power to computing machines, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computing allocation system and from a plurality of computing machines, electronic communications comprising:
i) a first request, comprising a power value, that represents a first power allotment that is expected to be used by a first computing machine during a predetermined period of time; andii) one or more first priority values that represent priorities of one or more tasks expected to be executed by the first computing machine during the predetermined period of time; determining, using a scoring function at the computing allocation system, a plurality of scores associated with the plurality of computing machines, the scoring function comprising the first priority values, where the plurality of scores are maintained in an ordered electronic list; granting, with the computing allocation system and to the plurality of computing machines, power allotments for the plurality of computing machines in accordance with a comparison of the determined scores for the plurality of computing machines, a higher score corresponding to a relatively larger power allotment for a computing machine, the power allotments granted based on a determination of an appropriate position within the ordered electronic list of scores for a determined first score and placing the determined first score within the ordered electronic list of scores at the appropriate position; sending responsive electronic communications to the plurality of computing machines, the responsive electronic communications formatted to cause particular ones of the plurality of computing machines to take a power allotment in accordance with their granted allotments; determining, by at least one particular computing machine of the plurality of computing machines, an excess power capacity; and reporting, by the at least one particular computing machine, the excess power capacity, wherein the computing allocation system controls power allocation to the plurality of computing machines repeatedly at a periodic frequency. |
