Abstract
A system for controlling energy usage in a server having a processor, where the system includes a memory for storing energy cost information, and a controller for determining a transaction rate for the processor. The controller is also for determining a cumulative of energy expended by the server based on the determined transaction rate for each of a number of available power level states (P-states) for operation of the processor, and for selecting one of the available P-states for operation of the processor based on the determined cumulative energy expended and the stored energy cost information.
