Patent ID: 8489775

Claim:
A power management control system for an information handling system, the power management control system comprising: a power management interface bus interfacing a plurality of devices, wherein one or more of the devices is each associated with a time clock; and a management agent interfacing the power management interface bus, wherein the management agent is configured to: receive a system time; synchronize the one or more time clocks based, at least in part, on the system time, wherein the one or more of the time clocks are each associated with one or more of a voltage regulator, a current sensor, a voltage sensor, a power sensor, a fan parameter sensor, and a thermal sensor; maintain synchronization of the one or more time clocks, at least in part, via a set of telemetric primitives; and time-correlate data provided by the one or more of the voltage regulator, the current sensor, the voltage sensor, the power sensor, the fan parameter sensor, and the thermal sensor; wherein the time-correlation is performed, at least in part, with one or more of a delta value format, a compact linear data format, a high-precision delta time format, and a compact delta time format.
