Abstract
A system and method for controlling power consumption in a computing system. A burst power limit profile is established that permits consumption of power by the computing system to rise from a current power limit level to one or more elevated power limit levels that are above a thermal design power of the computing system. Upon expiration of the burst power limit profile, a thermal headroom of the computing system is determined based at least on one or more temperature limits. An attenuation power limit profile is then established based at least on the thermal headroom, such attenuation power limit profile having one or more reduced power limit levels that are lower than one or more of the elevated power limit levels of the burst power limit profile.
