  • PLATFORM POWER MANAGER FOR RACK LEVEL POWER AND THERMAL CONSTRAINTS
    Publication number: 20230350480
    Abstract: Platform power management includes boosting performance in a platform power boost mode or restricting performance to keep a power or temperature under a desired threshold in a platform power cap mode. Platform power management exploits the mutually exclusive nature of activities and the associated headroom created in a temperature and/or power budget of a server platform to boost performance of a particular component while also keeping temperature and/or power below a threshold or budget.
    Type: Application
