US Patent 9811143 Systems and methods for dynamic spatial power steering

Apparatus, systems, and methods provide dynamic spatial power steering among a plurality of power domains in the computer system on a per phase basis of a particular application. Dynamic spatial power steering may include, for example, determining a plurality of phases corresponding to an application comprising tasks for execution on a processing node. determining a spatial power distribution between a plurality of power domains on the processing node based on a performance metric for each phase, monitoring the application to detect a current phase, and applying the spatial power distribution correspond to the current phase to the plurality of power domains.
