Context-based management of system performance

A system for managing computer system performance based on context, the system comprising:

• a computer system including at least one processor, a memory, and an integrated fan, and configured to perform operations including:
• identifying a fan noise level associated with the integrated fan based on sound input detected by an audio input device associated with the computer system;
• identifying a current context associated with the computer system;
• determining that the identified fan noise level is undesirable for the current context;
• and
• in response to determining that the identified fan noise level is undesirable, performing modifications to operations computer system, wherein the of the modifications are adapted to reduce an operating speed of the integrated fan.

An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions thereon that are executable by a processor to perform operations for managing the performance of a computer system based on context, the operations comprising:

• identifying a fan noise level associated with an integrated fan of the computer system based on sound input detected by an audio input device associated with the computer system;
• identifying a current context associated with the computer system;
• determining that the identified fan noise level is undesirable for the current context;
• and
• in response to determining that the identified fan noise level is undesirable, performing modifications to operations of the computer system, wherein the modifications are adapted to reduce an operating speed of the integrated fan.
