VOLTAGE REGULATOR POWER REPORTING OFFSET SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- a chassis;
a processing system that is housed in the chassis; and
a voltage regulator that is housed in the chassis and configured to provide power to the processing system, wherein the voltage regulator includes;
a monitored power reporting subsystem that includes voltage regulator operation offset information, wherein the monitored power reporting subsystem is configured to determine a monitored power level, offset the monitored power level using the voltage regulator operation offset information to provide a first offset monitored power level, and report the first offset monitored power level to a plurality of voltage regulator operation components;
a processor power reporting component that is configured to receive the report of the first offset monitored power level from the monitored power reporting subsystem; and
a processor power reporting offset subsystem that is coupled between the processor power reporting component and the processing system and that includes processor operation offset information, wherein the processor power reporting offset subsystem is configured to receive the report of the first offset monitored power level from the processor power reporting component, offset the first offset monitored power level using the processor operation offset information to provide a second offset monitored power level that is different than the first offset monitored power level, and report the second offset monitored power level to the processing system.

Abstract
A voltage regulator power reporting offset system includes a monitored power reporting subsystem that determines a monitored power level, offsets the monitored power level using voltage regulator operation offset information to provide a first offset monitored power level, and reports the first offset monitored power level to voltage regulator operation components. A processor power reporting component receives the report of the first offset monitored power level from the monitored power reporting subsystem. A processor power reporting offset subsystem receives the report of the first offset monitored power level from the processor power reporting component, offsets the first offset monitored power level using the processor operation offset information to provide a second offset monitored power level that is different than the first offset monitored power level, and reports the second offset monitored power level to a processing system.
