Abstract:
1. A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium, the design structure comprising: a. a plurality of parts of a digital computational system, at least a first subset of the plurality of parts having a part functionality sufficient to execute a computational job and at least a second subset of the plurality of parts having a part functionality that is not sufficient to execute the computational job; b. a parts information storage that stores an indication of power consumption and part functionality by each of the plurality of parts within the single computational system; and c. a parts assembler that, when the job is sent to the computational system, determines which combinations of the plurality of parts have functionality sufficient to execute the computational job and that allocates a set of the plurality of parts with sufficient functionality to execute the computational job to the computational job based on an indication of power consumption by each part stored in the parts information storage so that the set of the plurality of parts allocated to the computational job has the lowest power consumption of all possible sets of available parts with functionality sufficient to execute the computational job.
