THERMAL ZONE CONTROLS BASED ON USER-SELECTABLE THERMAL TABLE (USTT) PRESETS IN HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING PLATFORMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18062703 titled 'THERMAL ZONE CONTROLS BASED ON USER-SELECTABLE THERMAL TABLE (USTT) PRESETS IN HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING PLATFORMS

The patent application describes systems and methods for thermal zone controls based on User-Selectable Thermal Table (USTT) presets in heterogeneous computing platforms.

  • The Information Handling System (IHS) includes a heterogeneous computing platform with multiple devices and memory.
  • The memory contains firmware instructions that, when executed by a device, enable it to operate as an orchestrator.
  • The orchestrator can detect changes to a USTT table and modify an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) thermal zone setting in response.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in devices with complex thermal management requirements, such as high-performance computers and servers.
  • It can also be used in mobile devices to optimize thermal performance based on user preferences.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient thermal management in heterogeneous computing platforms.
  • Customizable thermal control settings for improved user experience.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced thermal performance and energy efficiency.
  • User-friendly interface for setting thermal preferences.

Commercial Applications:

  • "Smart" devices with advanced thermal management capabilities for improved performance and user satisfaction.
  • Data centers and server farms seeking to optimize thermal control for better energy efficiency.

Prior Art:

  • Researchers have explored various methods for thermal management in computing devices, but the specific approach of using USTT presets in heterogeneous platforms may be novel.

Frequently Updated Research:

  • Ongoing research may focus on refining the USTT presets to further enhance thermal control in heterogeneous computing environments.

Questions about Thermal Zone Controls based on USTT Presets: 1. How does the use of USTT presets improve thermal management in heterogeneous computing platforms? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology across different types of devices and operating systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for thermal zone controls based on User-Selectable Thermal Table (USTT) presets in heterogenous computing platforms are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a heterogeneous computing platform having a plurality of devices and a memory coupled to the heterogeneous computing platform, where the memory includes 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 a change to a USTT table; and, in response to the detection, modify an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) thermal zone setting.
