Patent number: 10890931Abstract: A method is disclosed for implementing a scheme to configure thermal management control for a memory device resident on a memory module for a computing platform. A method is also disclosed for implementing the configured thermal management control. In a run-time environment for a computing platform a temperature is obtained from a thermal sensor monitoring the memory module. The memory module is in a given memory module with thermal sensor configuration that includes the memory device. An approximation of a temperature for the memory device is made based on thermal information associated with the given configuration of the memory module and the obtained temperature. The configured thermal management control for the memory device is implemented based on the approximated temperature. Other implementations and examples are also described in this disclosure.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Ishmael Santos, Corinne Hall, Christopher Cox

Patent number: 9170626Abstract: For one disclosed embodiment, a lower limit for a power consumption device may be identified. Performance of the power consumption device may be reduced in response to a determination that a temperature corresponding to the power consumption device exceeds a threshold. Performance reduction may be limited based on the lower limit. Other embodiments are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Leslie E. Cline, Sitaram Yadavalli, Ishmael Santos, Jim Hermerding

Publication number: 20110127834Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for intervening in the self power or thermal regulations of a plurality of independent power consumption devices are described herein. The novel methods may include monitoring power consumption and thermal conditions of the plurality of power consumption (i.e., power/heat dissipation) devices that are configured to independently self-regulate their power/thermal production. A determination may then be made as to whether an aggregate of the power and/or thermal production of the plurality of power consumption devices exceed a threshold. And if the aggregate of the power or thermal production of the power consumption devices was determined to exceed the threshold, terminating, at least partially, the independent self-regulating of the thermal production and intervening in the thermal regulation of one or more of the power consumption devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2011Publication date: June 2, 2011Inventors: Leslie E.

Patent number: 7549177Abstract: Systems and methods of conducting thermal management provide for transmitting average power data to a source device, where the source device has a thermal influence on a target device and the average power data is based on the thermal influence. Adjustable time window data may also be transmitted to the source device, where the time window defines the amount of time for determining and controlling the average power consumption of the source device.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2005Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Paul Diefenbaugh, Ishmael Santos
