Computation Resource Thermal Management via Selective Disabling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional thermal management strategies for intelligent mobile terminals often disrupt user experience by forcibly reducing computation unit frequencies or shutting down devices due to high temperatures, lacking an effective approach to balance heat dissipation and resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A computation resource control method that determines the number of computation resources to disable based on a cooling room demand table, transferring heat from high-temperature resources to low-temperature resources by selectively disabling idle, highly loaded, or least busy computation resources, and reallocating tasks to maintain efficient heat dissipation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If conventional thermal management forcibly reduces computation unit frequencies or shuts down devices to reduce temperature, then device temperature is reduced and protection from overheating is achieved, but computation programs are forcibly interrupted and user experience is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful high-temperature computation resources into beneficial cooling resources by disabling them and using their heat dissipation capacity to cool active computation resources. The high-temperature resources, which would normally require forced shutdown, are instead repurposed as heat sinks that absorb excess heat from busy computation units, thereby maintaining user experience while achieving thermal management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational state parameter of computation resources from active to disabled state selectively. By changing the state of specific computation resources based on temperature and workload parameters, the system achieves thermal management without forcing shutdown of all computation units, thus avoiding program interruption and maintaining user experience.
2Loss of energy
If computation resources are disabled to dissipate heat, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved and temperature is reduced, but computation resource utilization decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by disabling only the specific number of computation resources equal to the cooling room number, rather than disabling all computation resources. This selective partial disabling achieves sufficient heat dissipation while leaving other computation resources active and available for task execution, thereby maintaining computation resource utilization and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic thermal management by continuously monitoring computation resource temperatures and workloads, and dynamically adjusting which computation resources are disabled as cooling resources. The system adapts the cooling strategy based on real-time conditions, ensuring optimal heat dissipation efficiency while maintaining high computation resource utilization when conditions permit.
