Abstract
A power management system with differentiated power scaling including multiple activity monitors and a differentiated power manager. Each activity monitor counts performance benefit estimation events of each of multiple devices to determine performance benefit estimate values, each being a measure of relative power utilization efficiency of a corresponding device. The differentiated power manager periodically evaluates the performance benefit estimate values and dynamically adjusts relative power provided to each device to achieve differentiated power scaling based on the performance benefit estimate values. Additional power available during a higher performance mode may be distributed only to those devices with higher performance benefit estimate values. During any mode of operation, the power provided to those devices with lower performance benefit estimate values may be redirected to those devices with higher performance benefit estimate values. Power may thus be distributed in an unequal manner to benefit those devices operating at higher efficiency.
