Devices and methods for dynamically adapting thermal constraints on the operation of computing devices

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a second controller configured to perform operations including:
• receiving temperature information from at least one temperature sensor configured to monitor a temperature of an environment of the processor;
• and
• controlling a first controller configured to perform an action to reduce the temperature of the environment based on the monitored temperature of the environment reaching a first temperature threshold,
• wherein controlling the first controller comprises dynamically adjusting the first temperature threshold from a first value to a second value for a limited-duration time period based on the monitored temperature of the environment approaching the first value of the first temperature threshold and to maintain the second value of the first temperature threshold based on the monitored temperature of the environment remaining below a second temperature threshold for the limited-duration time period.

A method comprising:

• monitoring, via at least one temperature sensor, a temperature of an environment including a plurality of processors;
• and
• based on the monitored temperature of the environment approaching a first value of a first temperature threshold, dynamically and temporarily increasing the first temperature threshold to a second value,
• wherein increasing the first temperature threshold prevents a first controller from performing a heat mitigation action based on the monitored temperature reaching the first value of the temperature threshold,
• wherein temporarily adjusting the first temperature threshold to the second value includes maintaining the second value of the first temperature threshold based on the monitored temperature of the environment remaining below a second temperature threshold.
