ABSTRACT:
A distributed method and system for managing power usage among server data processing systems are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a server data processing system of a plurality of server data processing systems is provided, where the server data processing system comprises a power management communication port to communicatively couple the server data processing system to all other server data processing systems of the plurality of server data processing systems and a system management processor coupled to the power management communication port. In the described embodiment, the system management processor comprises communication logic configured to monitor power usage of all the other server data processing systems of the plurality, and power management logic configured to perform a power management operation on the server data processing system based upon the monitored power usage.
