Abstract
Technologies to monitor and manage platform, device, processor and power characteristics throughout a system utilizing a remote entity such as controller node. By remotely monitoring and managing system operation and performance over time, future system performance requirements may be anticipated, allowing system parameters to be adjusted proactively in a more coordinated way. The controller node may monitor, control and predict traffic flows in the system and provide performance modification instructions to any of the computer nodes and a network switch to better optimize performance. The target systems collaborate with the controller node by respectively monitoring internal resources, such as resource availability and performance requirements to provide necessary resources for optimizing operating parameters of the system. The controller node may collect local system information for one or all of the computer nodes to dynamically steer traffic to a specific set of computers for processing to meet desired performance and power requirements.
