Abstract
Requests to an operational module are received at a monitoring device, where an estimated amount of energy expected to be consumed by the operational module while executing operations related to requests is accumulated for a sliding time window. A throttle signal is generated to limit the amount of energy consumed by the operation module is generated when the accumulated amount exceeds a maximum amount.
