<p>A system and method for controlling resource usage in an electronic device. An energy resource manager is used to monitor the energy usage by operations of an application or other software entity. When a new operation is to begin for the application, it is determined whether the energy cost for active operations for that application exceeds a predetermined energy cost quota. If the energy cost of the active operations does not exceed the quota, then the operation is allowed to proceed. If the energy cost of the active operations exceeds the quota, the operation is not permitted to proceed.</p> |
