Hybrid prioritized resource allocation in thermally-or power-constrained computing devices

Various embodiments comprise prioritizing frequency allocations in thermally- or power-constrained computing devices. Computer elements may be assigned ‘weights’ based on their priorities. The computer elements with higher weights may receive higher frequency allocations to assure they receive priority in processing more quickly. The computer elements with lower weights may receive lower frequency allocations and suffer a slowdown in their processing. Elements with the same weight may be grouped together for the purpose of frequency allocation.

Techniques in performance and efficiency improvements of processors in a cooling system

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for Thermal Design Power (TDP) rebalancing among thermally-coupled processors and non-thermally-coupled processors, providing computing efficiency or homogeneity with respect to, including but not limited to, thermal requirements, power consumption, and processor operations. The TDP rebalancing may include implementing management circuitry and configuration control circuitry. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Processor power monitoring and control with dynamic load balancing

Apparatus and methods may provide for subscribing a thread to a resource monitor through a machine specific register and subscribing the thread to a class of service through the machine specific register. The resource monitor or the class of service for the thread may be changed without interrupting the thread. The power allocated to the processor core may be changed based on the selected class of service for the thread.

Mitigating component performance variation

Apparatus and methods may provide for characterizing a plurality of similar components of a distributed computing system based on a maximum safe operation level associated with each component and storing characterization data in a database and allocating non-uniform power to each similar component based at least in part on the characterization data in the database to substantially equalize performance of the components.
