Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for performance controls based upon the detection of undervoltage or overcurrent conditions in heterogenous computing platforms are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a heterogeneous computing platform comprising a plurality of devices; and a memory coupled to the heterogeneous computing platform, where the memory comprises 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: detect an overcurrent or undervoltage condition; and in response to the detection, select an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) thermal zone setting.
