Abstract

A computer controls power distribution. The computing system determines a topography for a power delivery system that powers a group of computing devices. The computing system determines a number of worker programs for a pool of worker programs based on the topography. The computing system generates the pool of worker programs. The pool of worker programs includes both the number of worker programs and a number of back-up worker programs. The computing system generates a number of power management tasks to manage power consumption through one or more power elements included in the topography of the power delivery system. The computing system sends one or more power management tasks to a worker program included in the pool of worker programs.
