Abstract: Power management using temperature gradient information is described. In accordance with the described techniques, temperature measurements of a component are obtained from two or more sensors of the component. A temperature of a hotspot of the component is predicted based on the temperature measurements obtained from the two or more sensors of the component. Operation of the component is adjusted based on the predicted temperature of the hotspot.

Abstract: Platform power management includes boosting performance in a platform power boost mode or restricting performance to keep a power or temperature under a desired threshold in a platform power cap mode. Platform power management exploits the mutually exclusive nature of activities and the associated headroom created in a temperature and/or power budget of a server platform to boost performance of a particular component while also keeping temperature and/or power below a threshold or budget.

Abstract: One or more components of a computing device are run by default in a boost mode state. The one or more components continue to run in the boost mode state until the boost mode state is no longer sustainable, e.g., due to power consumption of the one or more components or temperature of the one or more components. The one or more components are switched to a reduced power state (e.g., a non-boost mode state) in response to the boost mode state no longer being sustainable. When operating the one or more components in the boost mode state again becomes sustainable due to power consumption or temperature of the one or more components, the one or more components are returned to the default boost mode state.
