Abstract: Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for predictive power management in a computing center. In general, in some implementations, a system for conserving resources in a multi-processor computing environment monitors usage of the processors in the environment and maintains a sorted list of usage changes that occur in each of a plurality of periodic intervals. The system uses the sorted list to predict, according to configurable parameters, how many processors will need to be available during a subsequent interval. In some implementations, the monitored intervals are consecutive and immediately prior to the subsequent interval. In some implementations, the usage changes during a periodic interval are determined as the difference between a maximum number of active-busy processors during the periodic interval and an initial number of active-busy processors for the periodic interval.
