Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program are provided for allocating power amount a plurality of computing devices. The method includes determining a current power capping amount for each of a plurality of computing devices and obtaining a current power usage of each computing device. The method further includes determining, for each computing device, an updated power capping amount based on whether or not the current power usage of the computing device has reached the current power capping amount of the computing device during a current period of time. The updated power capping amount is allocated to the respective computing devices, and a power supply is caused to deliver power to each computing device in an amount up to the updated power capping amount that has been allocated to the respective computing device.
