Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A system, comprising:
a server rack;
a first baseboard including a first plurality of first graphics processing units (GPUs) forming at least a portion of the server rack, wherein each first GPU of the plurality of first GPUs is associated with a respective first power coefficient of a plurality of first power coefficients, and wherein each first power coefficient of the plurality of first power coefficients is a value used to determine, by multiplying the first power coefficient with an operating frequency of a respective first GPU of the plurality of first GPUs, an amount of power consumed by the respective first GPU at the operating frequency of the respective first GPU;
a second baseboard including a plurality of second GPUs forming at least a portion of the server rack, wherein each second GPU of the plurality of second GPUs is associated with a respective second power coefficient of a plurality of second power coefficients, and wherein each second power coefficient of the plurality of second power coefficients is a value used to determine, by multiplying the second power coefficient with an operating frequency of a respective second GPU of the plurality of second GPUs, an amount of power consumed by the respective second GPU at the operating frequency of the respective second GPU; and
a rack controller including at least one processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the rack controller to:
cause the first plurality of GPUs to operate at a first frequency, based at least in part on the plurality of first power coefficients, a first baseboard power level of the first baseboard at the first frequency being below a first baseboard power budget; and
cause the second plurality of GPUs to operate at a second frequency, based at least in part on the plurality of second power coefficients, a second baseboard power level of the second baseboard at the second frequency being below a second baseboard power budget.
