Patent number: 11935796Abstract: Techniques for temperature control for multiple dies in an element. A temperature of a first die is measured, in an element comprising the first die and a second die. The second die includes at least a portion of a controller. The temperature of the first die is changed by adjusting activity, from the second die to the first die, based on a target temperature for the first die and the measured temperature for the first die.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.

Patent number: 11762380Abstract: Embodiments herein describe coupling traditional fan and shaper control along with aggregated knowledge of the temperature history of a hardware device to optimally manage the temperature of the hardware device to preserve its expected life while also providing the lower power, best performing solution possible. In one embodiment, a cooling application manages the expected life by trading off performance and power versus temperature to achieve a desired (or accepted) lifetime. In one embodiment, the cooling application calculates a historical temperature value for the hardware device which is then used to determine the expected life of the hardware device.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.
