Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to using priorities to select power usage for multiple devices. In aspects, workloads or the devices to which they are assigned are each assigned a priority. To remain within a power budget, the power levels on one or more of the devices may be adjusted based on the priority assigned to the device (or a workload thereon). If needed, devices may be instructed to operate at lower power than associated with their priority or may even be shut down to remain within the budget. A data structure is used to associate workloads or devices with priorities.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to using priorities and power usage to allocate power budget to devices. In aspects, a console that maintains power usage, priorities, and other power data regarding a set of devices may receive a notification that a device has exceeded its budgeted power. In response, using priorities and power usage associated with the devices, the console determines one or more devices to instruct to use less power. A device that exceeded its budgeted power may be instructed to operate at a lower power level or another device (e.g., a lower priority device that is underutilizing its budgeted power) may be instructed to reduce its power to remain below a power budget for the set of devices.

Abstract: A method of producing a chimeric protein from ie a plant virus coding for such a protein. The method allows the production of large (ie 25 kDa) proteins which assemble with the virus in infected host cells and are arranged on the outer surface of chimeric viruses. A vector for the production of biologically useful proteins in such a manner is also disclosed.
