  • Dynamic power budgeting in a chassis
    Patent number: 10114438
    Abstract: A chassis determines a steady state power consumption of each node in the chassis based upon real-time monitoring of power consumption of the nodes. The chassis also determines a power allocation for each node based upon the steady state power consumptions for the nodes. The chassis also determines a total power allocation for the chassis based upon the steady state power consumptions for the nodes. The chassis also determines a source and amount of input power for the chassis based upon the total power allocation for the chassis. The steady state power consumption of a node may be determined by sampling the power consumption of the node during a window period, and setting the steady state consumption of the node to a range if the values of the samples during the window period are within the assigned range.
