Thermal zone controls based on information handling system (IHS) posture in heterogeneous computing platforms

A memory coupled to a heterogeneous computing platform in an Information Handling System (IHS), wherein the heterogeneous computing platform comprises a plurality of devices configured to communicate via a communication bus through at least one firmware service to firmware service Application Programming Interface (API) independent of any host processor, wherein the memory is configured to receive a plurality of sets of firmware instructions, wherein each set of firmware instructions, upon execution by a respective microcontroller of at least one device among the plurality of devices in a respective microcontroller memory space independent of an IHS host processor memory space wherein the IHS host processor is configured to execute at least an IHS Operating System (OS), enables the respective device to provide a respective firmware service accessible via the at least one firmware service to firmware service API without any involvement by any host Operating System (OS) or any host processor, and wherein at least one of the plurality of devices operates as an orchestrator configured to perform operations that comprise:

• detect a change to an IHS posture, based, at least in part, upon previously collected context or telemetry data received, via the at least one firmware service to firmware service API without any involvement by the IHS OS or any IHS host processor, from one or more context or telemetry source devices selected by the orchestrator from the plurality of devices based, at least in part, upon a policy received by the orchestrator;
• and
• in response to the detection, send a message with an indication of a modification of a thermal zone setting to another firmware service via the at least one firmware service to firmware service API without any involvement by the IHS OS or any IHS host processor.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by an orchestrator device among a plurality of devices, an indication of an Information Handling System (IHS) posture selection at a heterogeneous computing platform, wherein the heterogeneous computing platform comprises the plurality of devices and a memory, wherein the plurality of devices are configured to communicate via a communication bus through at least one firmware service to firmware service Application Programming Interface (API) independent of any host processor, wherein the memory is configured to receive a plurality of sets of firmware instructions, wherein each set of firmware instructions, upon execution by a respective microcontroller of at least one device among the plurality of devices in a respective microcontroller memory space independent of an IHS host processor memory space wherein the IHS host processor is configured to execute at least an IHS Operating System (OS), enables the respective device to provide a corresponding firmware service accessible via the at least one firmware service to firmware service API without any involvement by the IHS OS or any IHS host processor;
• determining, by the orchestrator device, the indication of the IHS posture selection represents a change from a currently selected IHS posture, based at least in part upon previously collected context or telemetry data received, via the at least one firmware service to firmware service API without any involvement by the IHS OS or any IHS host processor, from one or more context or telemetry source devices selected from the plurality of devices based, at least in part, upon a received policy;
• and
• modifying a thermal zone setting that corresponds to the IHS posture selection, comprising adding a device to, or excluding the device from, a thermal zone, based, at least in part, on sending a message to another firmware service via the at least one firmware service to firmware service API without any involvement by the IHS OS or any IHS host processor.
