ABSTRACT:
In a system, method and apparatus for managing the operating frequency of blades in a blade-based computer system based upon performance requirements, a first blade that requires a specific power allocation is operated at a specific frequency and consumes a portion of the thermal and power budget for the blade-based computer system. A second blade that requires a specific power allocation is operated at a specific frequency and consumes a portion of the thermal and power budget for the blade-based computer system. Additionally, the overall power and thermal budget of the blade-based computer system is maintained.
