ENERGY CAPTURE OF TIME-VARYING ENERGY SOURCES BY VARYING COMPUTATION WORKLOAD

摘要

The invention is directed to methods and systems for managing computation workload in a computerized system (10) powered by an energy source (40). This invention relies first and foremost on adapting (S50 – S60) computation workload at the computerized system according to a time-varying property of the power supplied by the energy source, such that power generated at the source is optimized. A feedback mechanism is accordingly implemented which changes power available for computation, e.g., to track a more efficient energy generation efficiency point at the source.
