contents Power-constrained HPC systems increasingly run heterogeneous CPU--GPU applications under strict cluster-wide power limits. Existing cluster-wide power management policies rely on fair-share or utilization heuristics and do not capture application-specific sensitivity to CPU and GPU power caps, leading to inefficient use of reclaimed power. We present EcoShift, a performance-aware cluster-wide power management framework. EcoShift combines online performance prediction with a dynamic-programming-based allocator to distribute reclaimed power across CPU--GPU applications for maximum average performance improvement. Through emulation-based evaluation on two heterogeneous Intel CPU and NVIDIA A100/H100 GPU platforms with diverse CPU--GPU workloads, EcoShift consistently outperforms state-of-the-art policies, achieving up to 6% average performance improvement while preserving the cluster-wide power constraint.
