N2 - This paper presents a Dynamic Power Management (DPM) framework based on reinforcement learning (RL) technique which aims to save power in an Energy-Managed Computer (EMC) system with self power-managed components. The proposed online adaptive DPM technique consists of two layers: component-level and system-level global power manager (GPM). The component-level PM policy is pre-specified and fixed whereas the system-level global PM employs temporal difference learning on Semi-Markov Decision Process (SMDP) for model-free RL, and it is specifically optimized for a multitype application framework. Experiments show that that the proposed HPM scheme enhances power savings considerably while maintaining a good performance level. In comparison with other reference systems, the proposed RL DPM approach performs well under various workloads, can simultaneously consider power and performance and achieves a wide and deep powerperformance tradeoff curves.
