Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to ambient and processor temperature difference comparison. Processor and ambient temperatures are measured. A difference between the processor and ambient temperatures is compared to an initial difference. A warning may be signaled if a difference between the determined difference and the initial difference is greater than a threshold value.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- measuring a current processor temperature of a processor of a device;
- measuring a current ambient temperature inside the device;
- determining a difference between the current processor temperature and the current ambient temperature;
- comparing the determined difference to an initial difference;
- and
- generating a warning if a difference between the determined difference and the initial difference is greater than a threshold value.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a processor temperature module to measure a temperature of a processor of a device at an initial time period and a later time period after the initial time period;
- an ambient temperature module to measure a temperature of air inside the device during the initial time and at the later time period;
- a performance module to determine an initial difference between the processor and ambient temperature during the initial time period and to determine a later difference between the processor and ambient temperature during the later time period;
- and
- a warning module to generate a warning if a final difference between the initial and final differences is greater than a threshold value.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, if executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to:
- measure a temperature of the processor;
- measure a temperature of ambient air at the device;
- determine a later difference between the temperature of the processor and temperature of the ambient air;
- determine a final difference between the later difference and an initial difference;
- and
- generate a warning if the final difference is greater than a threshold value.
