Patent number: 11435808Abstract: Adaptive CPU power limit tuning can be performed. A mode detector can employ a machine learning model to detect a mode of operation on a computing device. As the computing device operates in the various modes, a mode boundary tuner of the mode detector can evaluate performance measurements to determine whether the currently defined boundaries between the various modes are optimal for the particular computing device. When the mode boundary tuner determines that a more optimal boundary definition exists, it can dynamically change the boundary to thereby tune the mode selection process on the particular computing device. A power limit setter may also be employed to set the CPU's power limits based on the mode detected by the mode detector. As the computing device operates in a mode, a power limit tuner can evaluate performance measurements and adjust the power limits to thereby tune the mode-specific power limits to the workload that is currently being executed.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Farzad Khosrowpour, Mitch Anthony Markow

Publication number: 20200050247Abstract: A convertible information handling system in a clamshell configuration provides a maximum housing surface temperature at a predetermined portion, such as a fan exhaust, that is greater than a maximum temperature in a tablet configuration. Upon detection of transition to the tablet configuration, a burst application by a thermal rejection device reduces the temperature at the predetermined portion to aid in achieving the maximum temperature of the tablet configuration. For example, a burst application may include running a fan at full speed for a defined time or decreasing a pressure within a vapor chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2018Publication date: February 13, 2020Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Travis C.
