Determining temperature using multiple sensors

摘要

Each of one or more temperature sensors of a computing system can measure and provide a temperature value (e.g., provide temperature data) to the system. In some embodiments, the system can apply an offset value, a time-based filter, and a weighting factor to each temperature value received from the one or more temperature sensors of the system. Based, at least in part, on the offsetting, filtering, and/or weighting, the computing system can determine (e.g., calculate, estimate, predict, etc.,) a temperature value representative of an enclosure temperature of the system. In some embodiments, based on the determined temperature value that is representative of the enclosure temperature, the computing system can perform appropriate subsequent processing in accordance with thermal management of the system.

1. A computing system comprising:
a plurality of temperature sensors; at least one processor; and a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to:
receive a plurality of temperature values from the plurality of temperature sensors of the computing system, a temperature value of the plurality of temperature values being provided by a respective temperature sensor of the plurality of temperature sensors;create a plurality of adjusted temperature values, the adjusted temperature values being modified by applying a respective temperature offset value for the respective temperature sensor to the temperature value of the plurality of temperature values;apply an infinite impulse response function to the plurality of adjusted temperature values to generate a plurality of filtered temperature values, the filtered temperature values being generated by applying the infinite impulse response function to the temperature values, the infinite impulse response function being applied to the adjusted temperature values using a respective coefficient for the respective temperature sensor;apply respective weight values to the plurality of filtered temperature values to generate a plurality of weighted temperature values, the respective weight values being configured for the respective temperature sensor; anddetermine a representative temperature value representing a temperature of an enclosure of the computing system based, at least in part, on calculating an average for the plurality of weighted temperature values.
