Abstract: The invention provides a technique for targeted scaling of the voltage and/or frequency of a processor included in a computing device. One embodiment involves scaling the voltage/frequency of the processor based on the number of frames per second being input to a frame buffer in order to reduce or eliminate choppiness in animations shown on a display of the computing device. Another embodiment of the invention involves scaling the voltage/frequency of the processor based on a utilization rate of the GPU in order to reduce or eliminate any bottleneck caused by slow issuance of instructions from the CPU to the GPU. Yet another embodiment of the invention involves scaling the voltage/frequency of the CPU based on specific types of instructions being executed by the CPU. Further embodiments include scaling the voltage and/or frequency of a CPU when the CPU executes workloads that have characteristics of traditional desktop/laptop computer applications.

Abstract: Methods for thermal management of an integrated circuit are disclosed. In particular, a dual control loop, having a first control loop and a second control loop, is used to maintain the temperature of an integrated circuit at a first temperature and a second temperature, respectively. In order to prevent the integrated circuit from overheating during periods of rapid temperature increase, the second control loop may be configured to control temperature at the second temperature below the specification limit of the integrated circuit by reducing power to the integrated circuit. The second control loop samples and maintains temperature of the integrated circuit at time intervals relatively faster than that of the first control loop. However, the second control loop is configured to release control to the first control loop when the temperature of the integrated circuit is reduced. The first control loop may then control power to the integrated circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for predicting a future context of a computing device. In some implementations, a context daemon can use historical context information to predict future events and/or context changes. For example, the context daemon can analyze historical context information to predict user sleep patterns, user exercise patterns, and/or other user activity. In some implementations, a context client can register a callback for a predicted future context. For example, the context client can request to be notified ten minutes in advance of a predicted event and/or context change. The context daemon can use the prediction to notify a context client in advance of the predicted event.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for monitoring the current context of a computing device. In some implementations, a context daemon can collect context information about the computing device. The context information can include current device hardware state information. The context information can include current software state information. The context can be derived or implied from a combination of hardware state information, software state information, or any other type of state information. For example, the derived context can be a user state (e.g., a user activity, sleeping, running, etc.) derived from or implied by hardware or software state information.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus that controls a cooling system for a computer system. During operation, the apparatus monitors a temperature signal from the computer system to determine a trend for the temperature signal. Then, a filter parameter for a trend-based filter is selected based on the trend. Next, the temperature signal is filtered using the trend-based filter to generate a filtered temperature signal which is then passed through a controller to generate a control signal for the cooling system.
