Publication number: 20240138097Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may provide computer-implemented services. To provide the computer-implemented services, hardware components of the data processing system may need to operate within certain thermal dissipation requirements.
