DYNAMIC POWER CAPPING OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS AND SUBSYSTEMS CONTAINED THEREIN

One aspect of the present disclosure involves dynamically performing power capping with respect to a group of computing systems. Different priority levels can be assigned to at least some of the individual computing systems within the group of computing systems. Individual power limits can be set for the plurality of individual computing systems based at least in part on the different priority levels and utilization levels of the plurality of individual computing systems. Another aspect of the present disclosure involves dynamically performing power capping with respect to various subsystems of a computing system. Different priority levels can be assigned to at least some of the plurality of individual subsystems within the computing system. Individual power limits can be set for the plurality of individual subsystems based at least in part on the different priority levels and current power consumption of the plurality of individual subsystems.
