Claim Text:
1. A method for optimizing power load associated with an electronic device, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of tasks for processing by a plurality of electronic devices; determining a power loss value for one or more power cables providing power from a power source to each of the plurality of electronic devices, wherein the power loss value is based on the power supplied by the power source and consumed by the plurality of electronic devices to process tasks; determining a first expected power consumption value corresponding to at least one of the received plurality of tasks; determining a second expected power consumption value to at least one other of the received plurality of tasks, wherein the first expected power consumption value is higher relative to the second expected power consumption value determining a first power loss value corresponding to at least one of the one or more power cables providing power from a power source to each of the plurality of electronic devices; determining a second power loss value corresponding to at least one other of the one or more power cables providing power from a power source to each of the plurality of electronic devices, wherein the first power loss value is higher relative to the second power loss value; and assigning the plurality of tasks to one or more of the plurality of electronic devices based on the power loss value for the one or more power cables providing power to each of the plurality of electronic devices, including assigning one or more of the tasks with the second expected power consumption value to the one or more of the plurality of electronic devices having the first power loss value.
