Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: determining, on a processor, a power capacity range around a power use efficiency peak of a computer system; if a total output power provided to the computer system is less than a minimum value of the power capacity range on a number of occurrences more than a first threshold number of times within a time period, performing a first action that causes the total output power provided to the computer system to change to exceed the minimum value of the power capacity range; and if the total output power provided to the computer system is greater than a maximum value of the power capacity range on a number of occurrences more than a second threshold number of times within the time period, performing a second action that causes the total output power provided to the computer system to change to be less than the maximum value of the power capacity range, wherein the first action is selected from a group consisting of: decreasing the minimum value of the power capacity range and increasing the first threshold number of times within the time period, and wherein the second action is selected from a group consisting of: increasing the maximum value of the power capacity range and increasing the second threshold number of times within the time period.
