Abstract
Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems, methods, and program products for rebalancing power in a multi-chip computing platform, which includes a core processor and a discrete peripheral processor. Embodiments include determining that the core processor and the discrete peripheral processor are in a limited usage state; altering a polling interval of the core processor and the discrete peripheral processor from a first polling time to a second polling time, the second polling time greater than the first polling time; and polling the core processor and the discrete peripheral processor after an expiration of the second polling time. Embodiments also include using thermal and/or energy consumption data to dynamically adjust polling times to permit the core processor and the discrete peripheral processor to remain in an idle or low power state for as long as possible.
