Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. A method, comprising:
identifying a plurality of graphics processing units (GPUs) of a baseboard of a server rack operating at a first frequency, wherein each GPU of the plurality of GPUs is associated with a respective power coefficient of a plurality of power coefficients, and wherein each power coefficient of the plurality of power coefficients is a value used to determine, by multiplying the power coefficient with an operating frequency of a respective GPU of the plurality of GPUs, an amount of power consumed by the respective GPU at the operating frequency of the respective GPU,
determining, from the plurality of power coefficients, whether a baseboard power level of the baseboard at a second frequency, higher than the first frequency, remains below a baseboard power budget; and
causing the plurality of GPUs to operate at a second frequency, higher than the first frequency, in response to determining, from the plurality of power coefficients, that the baseboard power level at the second frequency remains below the baseboard power budget.
