Abstract
In an embodiment, a processor includes first logic to determine first power to be provided to a first portion of a computational resource during a time period. The first portion may be reserved for execution by the processor of a first workload to be executed during the time period. The first power may be determined based at least in part on the first workload and independently of a second workload. The processor may include second logic to determine second power to be provided to a second portion of the computational resource during the time period. The second portion may be reserved for execution by the processor of the second workload during the time period. The second power may be determined based at least in part on the second workload and independently of the first workload.
