Abstract
A power controller that controls power usage of a heterogeneous system is provided. The power controller receives a power usage cap for a heterogeneous system that includes multiple components. The power controller assigns priorities that respectively correspond to the multiple components. The power controller assigns power shifting ratios that respectively correspond to the multiple components. The power controller adjusts a total power usage of the multiple components to be within a threshold of the power usage cap by adjusting the power usage of individual components in a sequence defined by the assigned priorities. The power controller shifts a power usage from a first-priority component to a second-priority component (and so on) according to the assigned power shifting ratios.
