Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods may include a first power source to output power at a first normal power level and a first peak power level and a second power source cooperating with the first power source to output power at a second normal power level and a second peak power level. A system peak power control unit may monitor workload power requirements and cause the first power source to output the first peak power level at a first time period and cause the second power source to output the second peak power level at a second time period, different from the first time period. The time periods may be contiguous or discontiguous.
