Abstract
Methods and systems for power management are disclosed. The disclosed methods and system for power management may reduce the likelihood of a data processing system failing to meet power budget or other types of goals regarding power consumption, use, and/or provisioning. To reduce the likelihood of the data processing system failing to meet power related goals, the data processing system may include two power managers. An integrated power manager may manage power consumption based on a current-based, fast changing representation of the quantity of power being supplied by the power supplies. In contrast, a system power manager may manage power consumption based on digital representations of the power supplied by the power supplies, which may refresh the digital representations less quickly than the rate at which the analog current based representation is refreshed.
