Abstract
A server is capable of maintaining a power budget. The server comprises a central processing unit (CPU), a management processor, a power measurement circuit, and a comparison circuit. The comparison circuit receives real time power measurements from the power measurement circuit. A register includes a power budget value from the management processor. The management processor selects a system power performance state for the CPU that utilizes a level of power approximately equal to the power budget value.
