Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for managing thermal operations in heterogenous computing platforms of IHSs (Information Handling Systems) are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a heterogeneous computing platform includes devices and a memory storing firmware instructions. Based on execution of these firmware instructions by a respective device, a corresponding firmware service is provided such that one of the devices operates as an orchestrator. The orchestrator receives reports of changes in context of operation of the IHS by a user and determines one or more thermal settings that are mapped to the reported user context, where the thermal settings configure thermal operations by the IHS. The orchestrator configures thermal operations by the IHS based on the thermal settings, where the configured thermal operations are utilized until additional reports of changes in user context are received by the orchestrator.
