  • Patent number: 9746909
    Abstract: It is determined that a current node power consumption for a node is greater than a node power cap that defines a limit of power consumption for the node. Responsive to the current node power consumption being greater than the node power cap and until the current node power consumption is less than the node power cap, power reduction operations are performed. The power reduction operations comprise determining a power management zone of a plurality of power management zones having a lowest priority among the power management zones and having a power cap greater than a minimum power cap for the power management zone. The power reduction operations further comprise setting the power cap for the power management zone to a value less than a prior value assigned as the power cap for the power management zone.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 29, 2017
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Patent number: 9684366
    Abstract: A zone power cap for a power management zone that defines a limit of power consumption for the power management zone is determined. The power management zone comprises a plurality of components, wherein the power management zone is associated with a controller. A set of one or more characteristics of a workload associated with the power management zone is determined. A component power cap for one or more of the plurality of components is set based, at least in part, on the set of one or more characteristics of the workload and the zone power cap.
