Chip aware thermal policy
Methods and apparatus are provided for chip aware thermal policies. The thermal performance mapping information is generated. The process obtains a set of process-dependent power data for each process corner of a semiconductor chip, profiles performance data, and selects an operating thermal policy based on the performance data. The thermal policy, based on the process-dependent power data is a mapping formula, or a combination of a mapping formula and a mapping table. The chip aware thermal control is based on process-dependent power data of process corners. The mapping information of process-dependent power data to a corresponding thermal policy is stored in a memory. A thermal policy is applied based on the stored mapping information and an obtained process corner information. The mapping information is applied every time the thermal policy is needed or at boot-up time.
