Power consumption of a group of computer systems is managed based on a maximum power consumption for the group. A power budget is determined from the power consumption of each computer system and the maximum power consumption for the group. The power budget identifies a power cap for each computer system in the group. The power caps in the power budget are distributed to the computer systems in the group.

A data processing system facilitates virtual machine migration with direct physical access control. The illustrative data processing system comprises a software-programmable trap control associated with hardware registers of a computer that selectively vectors execution control of a virtual machine (VM) between a host and a guest. The data processing system further comprises a logic which is configured for execution on the computer that programs the trap control to enable the virtual machine to directly access the hardware registers when the virtual machine is not migrated and to revoke direct access of the hardware registers in preparation for virtual machine migration.
