Abstract

Technologies for data center power management include a number of computing nodes in communication over a network. Each computing node establishes a firmware environment that monitors power consumption of the computing node and if the power consumption exceeds an optimal level broadcasts a request to offload tasks to the other nodes. The firmware environment of a receiving computing node traps the request and determines power requirements and/or compute requirements for the tasks based on the request. The firmware environment determines whether to accept the offloaded task based on the requirements and available resources of the computing node. If accepted, the requesting computing node offloads one or more tasks to the receiving nodes. The firmware environment may be established by a manageability engine of the computing node. Power consumption may be monitored on a per-component basis. Compute requirements may include processor requirements or other requirements. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
