Abstract
A method for managing power in a multiple processor computing device includes detecting a first amount of power being used by a first processor of the computing device; determining an amount of extra power available based on the first amount of power and a power budget for the first processor; and transmits a value to a driver associated with a second processor of the computing device, wherein the value indicates the amount of extra power available, wherein the driver adjusts at least one operating parameter of the second processor based on the amount of extra power available.
