Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling power consumption associated with a computing device having first and second processors configured to perform different types of operations includes providing a user interface that allows, during normal operation of the computing device, at least one of: (i) a user selection of desired performance levels of the first and second processors relative to one another, such that higher desired performance levels of one processor correspond to lower desired performance levels of the other processor, and (ii) a user selection of a desired performance level of the first processor and a user selection of a desired performance level of the second processor, the two user selections being made independently of one another. The apparatus and method control, during normal operation of the computing device, performance levels of the processors in response to the one or more user selections of the desired performance levels.

Abstract: A system and method for adaptive power consumption in a computing device having a chassis forming an enclosure for a chamber. The computing device further includes, in the chamber, a heterogeneous processing unit that includes a CPU operatively coupled with a GPU and that generates thermal and performance information for the CPU and GPU, a memory, and a memory controller that connects the memory to the heterogeneous processing unit. A passive cooling subsystem and an active cooling subsystem cools off the chamber. A plurality of thermal sensors are positioned to monitor temperatures within the chamber. A thermal detection and control unit receives thermal and performance information from the heterogeneous processing unit and the plurality of thermal sensors and responsively adjusts overall power consumption of the heterogeneous processing unit, the memory controller, the memory and the active cooling subsystem to maintain performance of the heterogeneous processing unit while minimizing thermal heating.
