Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors of a distributed computer system to perform operations including determining whether a power consumed by the distributed computer system is greater than a power allocated to the distributed computer system, responsive to determining the power consumed by the distributed computer system is greater than the power allocated to the distributed computer system, determining whether all jobs being processed by the distributed computer system are processing at a lowest power state for each job, wherein a job includes one or more calculations performed by the one or more processors of the distributed computer system and responsive to determining all jobs being processed by the distributed computer system are processing at a lowest power state for each job, suspending a job having a lowest priority among all jobs being processed by the distributed computer system is shown.
