Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for burst power limit control in heterogenous computing platforms are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a heterogeneous computing platform having a plurality of devices; and a memory coupled to the heterogeneous computing platform, where the memory includes firmware instructions that, upon execution by at least one of the plurality of devices, causes the at least one device to operate as an orchestrator configured to: compare a current power level used by a selected device against a burst power limit; and in response to a determination that the current power level exceeds the burst power limit, control the selected device to reduce the current power level.
