Power Policies 96
How Does a Dynamic Power Policy Work?
To understand how a dynamic policy works, you need to understand the
following terms first:
Consumption
The power a device is using.
•Power Cap
The maximum amount of power that a device is allowed to
consume (may not be equal to its demand).
Headroom
The difference between power cap and power consumption
of a device or a group of devices under a power policy.
•Demand
Amount of power a device requests to accommodate its
workload.
The top priority of the dynamic power policy is to maintain the power cap of
the group. Maintaining this cap means that all devices can execute their
workloads without needing more power than the cap. The priority of the
device may not be taken into account when allocating power cap to a group of
devices if most, or the entire power cap is allocated towards maintaining the
power cap on each of the devices in the policy; if lower priority devices require
more power to maintain their cap, they may actually receive more power than
a higher-priority device. If the power cap is too restrictive and the group
power consumption exceeds the power cap, an event is sent for the power
policy. You need to reconsider the power allocation or adjust workloads when
a power policy is consistently violated by one or more devices exceeding their
power cap.
If fluctuations in device power requirements happen once the power cap is
successfully established for all devices in a power policy, a device requiring
more power may not get it as the power cap of another device in the policy
could become violated as it is lowered. If you wish to force one or more
devices in a policy to a lower cap, you can create a static power policy for the
device at a lower level. In this case, the most restrictive power cap of the
overlapping policies is applied to the device.
If there is excess available power from the power cap (known as headroom)
after the power capping requirements is met for all devices in the policy, then
this excess power can be allocated dynamically according to the priority and
demand of the device in the power policy.
