Configuration management based on thermal state

A system, comprising:

• a memory that stores instructions;
• and
• a processor configured by the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• setting, by the processor, thermal thresholds associated with a device of the system that comprises a network manager;
• receiving, by the processor, thermal configuration settings from a user of the device;
• updating a policy stored within the device responsive to the thermal configuration settings from the user;
• monitoring, by the processor, thermal states associated with the device, wherein monitoring comprises detecting and logging the load and frequency of at least one central processing unit (CPU) from each of a plurality of cores of the at least one CPU, wherein the average CPU load and frequency from each core of the at least one CPU are combined to provide an operation index, wherein the operation index for each core of the at least one CPU are summed to create a master operation index, and wherein monitoring is for a predetermined period or initiated in response to a user-initiated interaction with the device;
• and implementing, by the processor, the thermal configuration settings of the stored policy responsive to a violation of one of the thermal thresholds by one of the monitored thermal states, wherein the stored policy comprises adjusting activity of the network manager to reduce execution of speculative tasks.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the device comprising a network manager to perform operations comprising:

• setting thermal thresholds associated with the device;
• receiving thermal configuration settings from a user of the device;
• updating a policy stored within the device responsive to the thermal configuration settings from the user;
• monitoring thermal states associated with the device, wherein monitoring comprises detecting and logging the load and frequency of at least one central processing unit (CPU) from each of a plurality of cores of the at least one CPU, wherein the average CPU load and frequency from each core of the at least one CPU are combined to provide an operation index, wherein the operation index for each core of the at least one CPU are summed to create a master operation index, and wherein monitoring is for a predetermined period or initiated in response to a user-initiated interaction with the device;
• and
• implementing the thermal configuration settings of the stored policy responsive to a violation of one of the thermal thresholds by one of the monitored thermal states, wherein the stored policy comprises adjusting activity of the network manager to reduce execution of speculative tasks.
