  • Selective GPU throttling
    Patent number: 9530174
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that manages a thermal profile of a device by selectively throttling graphics processing unit operations of the device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device monitors the thermal profile of the device, where the device executes a plurality of processes that utilizes a graphics processing unit of the device. In addition, the plurality of processes include a high priority process and a low priority process. If the thermal profile of the device exceeds a thermal threshold, the device decreases a first GPU utilization for the low priority process and maintains a second GPU utilization for the high priority process. The device further executes the low priority process using the first GPU utilization with the GPU and executes the high priority process using the second GPU utilization with the GPU.

  • Thermal mitigation using selective I/O throttling
    Patent number: 9436628
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that manages a thermal profile of a device by selectively throttling input/output operations of the device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device monitors the thermal profile of the device, where the device executes a plurality of processes that utilize storage of the device. In addition, the plurality of processes include a high priority process and a low priority process. If the thermal profile of the device exceeds a thermal threshold, the device decreases a first bandwidth range for the low priority process and maintains a second bandwidth range for the high priority process. The device further processes a storage request of the low priority process using the first bandwidth range and processing a storage request of the high priority process using the second bandwidth range.

  • Adaptive process importance
    Patent number: 9411637
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that changes the importance of a daemon process is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a message from a user process destined for daemon process, wherein the daemon process executes independently of the user process and the first daemon process communicates messages with other executing processes. The device further determines if the first message indicates that the importance of the first daemon process can be changed. If the first message indicates the importance of the first daemon process can be changed, the device changes the importance of the first daemon process. The device additionally forwards the first message to the first daemon process.
