The invention relates to a nanosecond-scale power resource allocation method and system for microservices. In order to eliminate the macro-control delays, it uses an auto power budgeting module to distribute the limited power resource to each microservice according to its unique power-performance model. On the other side, it deploys an agile power regulation module to bypass the slow power control procedures at the server system layer. By directly invoking the voltage regulation circuit on the processor, this can remove the micro-execution delays. It also leverages a transparent mapping mechanism to coordinate the work of the auto power budgeting module and the agile power regulation module to achieve the optimal allocation of power resources. The present invention can exploit the intra-application variability brought by microservices, thus further break the energy-saving limitation of traditional data centers.
