Abstract
A method is presented for selectively throttling subsystems of a battery-powered computing device. The method comprises determining an amount of power consumed a plurality of rest-of-platform (ROP) subsystems of the battery-powered computing device. A total amount of power consumed by subsystems of a battery-powered computing device is determined. The subsystems including at least a system on a chip (SOC) and the plurality of ROP subsystems. Responsive to recognizing a condition where the amount of power consumed by the plurality of ROP subsystems is above an ROP power threshold, and where the total amount of power consumed increases above a first throttling threshold, one or more ROP subsystems are throttled.
