    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes processing cores, and a central control unit to: concurrently execute an outer control loop and an inner control loop, wherein the outer control loop is to monitor the processor as a whole, and wherein the inner control loop is to monitor a first processing core included in the processor; determine, based on the outer control loop, a first control action for the first processing core included in the processor; determine, based on the inner control loop, a second control action for the first processing core included in the processor; based on a comparison of the first control action and the second control action, select one of the first control action and the second control action as a selected control action; and apply the selected control action to the first processing core. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes at least one execution unit to execute instructions, and an interrupt generation unit. The interrupt generation unit may be to: receive a plurality of values indicating thermal status values for a memory unit at multiple points in time across a first time window; determine a running average value based on the plurality of values indicating thermal status values in the memory unit; and in response to a determination that the running average value has exceeded a high thermal status threshold value, generate a thermal interrupt indicating a high thermal status event in the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
