    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing power in a thermal couple aware system includes determining a candidate configuration mapping based upon one or more criteria, the candidate configuration mapping being a mapping of performance for a candidate configuration of processor sockets in the thermal couple aware system. The candidate configuration mapping is evaluated by comparing the candidate configuration mapping to a stored configuration. If the evaluated candidate configuration mapping provides a better metric than the stored configuration, the stored configuration is updated with the evaluated candidate configuration mapping, and programming instructions are executed in accordance with the candidate configuration mapping if no other configuration mappings are to be determined.

    Abstract: A processing system includes one or more processing units to perform operations and one or more sensors to measure a temperature concurrently with the one or more processing units performing the operations. The processing system also includes a controller to receive feedback indicating the temperature and to determine a peak temperature and a thermal time constant for heating of the processing system based on a comparison of the measured temperature to a first temperature that is predicted based on the peak temperature and a previously determined thermal time constant for heating. Some embodiments of the controller can control a performance state of the processing system based on the peak temperature and the thermal time constant for heating of the processing system.

    Abstract: Power gating logic detects a transition of a component of a processing device into an idle state. In response to detecting the transition, the entry/exit power gating logic selectively implements one or more entry prediction techniques for power gating the component based on estimates of reliability of the entry prediction techniques. The entry/exit power gating logic also selectively implements one or more exit prediction techniques for exiting the power gated state based on estimates of reliability of the exit prediction techniques.
