Managing system management interrupt (SMI) requests at an information handling system, including identifying, while the information handling system is performing in an OS mode, a plurality of SMI requests from the OS to firmware of the information handling system for telemetry data; monitoring the SMI requests including receiving computing parameter values related to the SMI requests; determining, based on the received computing parameter values, a SMI workload of the information handling system; comparing the SMI workload to a threshold; determining, based on the comparing, that the SMI workload is greater than the threshold, and in response: determining whether a user of the information handling system is present with respect to the information handling system; determining that the user of the information handling system is present with respect to the information handling system, and in response: throttling a frequency of the SMI requests between the OS and the firmware.
A computer-implemented method of managing system management interrupt (SMI) requests at an information handling system, the method comprising:
An information handling system comprising a processor having access to memory media storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
