Abstract
A method for allocating power within an information handling system (IHS) includes: monitoring power consumed by components within the IHS; monitoring thermal state of the components; evaluating power demand and cooling demand for each of the components; and adjusting power allocated to at least one of a computing resource and system cooling according to results of the evaluating. An information handling system (IHS) and a controller that both perform similar processes are disclosed.
