  • Patent number: 11543868
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes at least one core and power management logic. The power management logic is to receive temperature data from a plurality of dies within a package that includes the processor, and determine a smallest temperature control margin of a plurality of temperature control margins. Each temperature control margin is to be determined based on a respective thermal control temperature associated with the die and also based on respective temperature data associated with the die. The power management logic is also to generate a thermal report that is to include the smallest temperature control margin, and to store the thermal report. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20220196507
    Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a cover to enclose a junction between respective ends of first and second fluidic conduits. The first and second fluidic conduits transport a coolant fluid within an electronic system. The apparatus also includes a leak detection device to be located within a region that is enclosed by the cover when the junction is enclosed by the cover. The leak detection device is to detect a leak of the coolant fluid at the junction when the junction is enclosed by the cover. The first and second fluidic conduits extend outside the cover when the junction is enclosed by the cover. Another apparatus is also described. The other apparatus includes a leak detection device to detect a leak of coolant fluid from a specific component or junction in a liquid cooling system of an electronic system.

  • Patent number: 10939592
    Abstract: A liquid cooling system is described. The liquid cooling system includes a heat sink to provide a warmed liquid. The heat sink is to receive heat generated by at least one semiconductor chip of an electronic system. The liquid cooling system includes a heat exchanger to receive the warmed liquid and to provide a cooled liquid. The liquid cooling system includes a pump. The pump is to draw the cooled liquid at the pump's input so that respective pressures of the warmed and cooled liquids' are less than atmospheric pressure.
