Abstract: An example non-transitory computer-readable medium includes instructions to monitor a time-averaged power consumption of a computing device that includes a plurality of power-consuming components including a processor, and compare the time-averaged power consumption to a first threshold to detect if the time-averaged power consumption exceeds the first threshold. In response to detecting that the time-averaged power consumption of the computing device exceeds the first threshold, the instructions are to decrease an operational power of the processor from a normal operating power, and start monitoring an instantaneous power consumption of the computing device to determine whether to make a further decrease or an increase to the operational power of the processor.

Abstract: An electronic device (100) includes a network interface controller (102) and an input/output controller (110, 202) having a link layer. A portion of the input/output controller is configured to be powered off during a lower power mode of the electronic device, where the first portion contains the link layer. Wakeup logic (108) separate from the input/output controller receives a wake indication from the network interface controller in response to the physical layer receiving a wake message on the network while the electronic device is in the lower power mode. The wakeup logic activates an indication to awaken the electronic device from the lower power mode in response to the wake indication from the network interface controller.
