Abstract

An apparatus, method and system is described herein for dynamic power control of a power domain. A power limit over a time window is provided. And over a control loop period a power interface determines energy consumption of the power domain, intelligently budgets power among devices within the power domain based on the energy consumption, converts those budgets to performance maximums for the power domain, and limits performance of devices in the power domain to the performance maximums utilizing a running average power limit.
