Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for distributed power delivery. In certain embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a device configured to control power to one or more power-consuming components via managing power usage among the one or more power-consuming components based on a priority of a task associated with the one or more power-consuming components. In certain embodiments, a device may comprise a processor configured to: receive a request to allow a component to expend an amount of power, determine if the request can be satisfied with an unallocated power budget managed by the processor, the unallocated power budget being an unallocated portion of a total power budget managed by the first processor, and allow the component to expend the amount of power when the request can be satisfied with the unallocated power budget.
