    Abstract: Power and performance of a multi-core system is managed dynamically by adjusting power table indices at runtime. Runtime statistics is measured, when an application is executed on a first core of a first type at a first operating point (OPP) in a first time period, and on a second core of a second core type at a second OPP in a second time period. A controller estimates, based on the runtime statistics, a first pair of indices associated with a first OPP for the first core and a second pair of indices associated with a second OPP for the second core. During runtime, the controller incorporates the first pair of indices and the second pair of indices into power table indices; and determines, from the power table indices, selected indices associated with a selected OPP of a core of a selected core type for executing the application.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for adaptive thermal slope control for dynamic thermal management. In one novel aspect, the device monitors and obtains sampling temperatures, calculates a thermal-slope index, determines whether the calculated thermal-slope index is greater than a predefined slope threshold, adjusts a power budget based on a thermal-slope algorithm, and applies the dynamic thermal management (DTM) adaptively based on the adjusted power budget. In one embodiment, fixed slope algorithm is used. The power budget is adjusted such that an adjusted slope of temperatures stays at a constant. In another embodiment, the time prediction algorithm is used. The power budget is adjusted such that a predicted time to reach a predefined thermal threshold stays a constant. In one embodiment, the time-prediction algorithm is a time-to-target-point (T2TP) algorithm. The T2TP is obtained using a linear equation or a LOG equation.
