# Power-Capping Strategies

_Elektron_ is capable of deploying different power capping strategies. The power capping strategy to be plugged in can be specified using the `-powercap` command-line option.

## Power-Capping Policies

* **Extrema** - A dynamic power-capping strategy that is able to make smart trade-offs
between makespan and power consumption. *Extrema* reacts to power trends in the
cluster and restrains the power consumption of the cluster to a power
envelope defined by a high threshold and low threshold.
* **Progressive-Extrema** - A modified version *Extrema* that performs
power-capping in phases. Unlike in *Extrema*, where picking a previously
capped node as a victim resulted in a NO-OP, *Progressive-Extrema* applies
a harsher capping value for that victim.
Remove tag from section title. Fix section sizes. Removed the 'Elektron' tag from the section title. Also fixed the sizes of the sections and subsections. 2018-10-03 21:42:41 -04:00			`# Power-Capping Strategies`
changed the named of the scheduling policy documentation to SchedulingPolicies.md. Also, added a documentation for power-capping strategies called PowerCappingStrategies.md 2017-09-28 15:50:55 -04:00
Updated description of power capping policies. Updated point in Usage section to indicate that power capping policies are pluggable. Mentioned that it is possible to plug in power capping policies. Added the commandline option as well. 2018-10-05 13:15:07 -04:00			_Elektron_ is capable of deploying different power capping strategies.
