Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for dynamically managing power in a microprocessor chip that includes physical hardware elements within the microprocessor chip. A process is selected to be executed. Hardware elements that are necessary to execute the process are then identified. The power in the microprocessor chip is dynamically altered by altering a present power state of the hardware elements that were identified as being necessary.
