Abstract
Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with selectively regulating power consumption by a computing system are described. One exemplary method embodiment includes receiving a signal that power regulation is desired for a computing system. The exemplary method embodiment may also include selectively causing a low power process to be executed in the computing system to cause the computing system to consume less power on average than would be consumed if the low power process was not executed.
