THERMAL PROTECTION METHOD FOR REFERRING TO THERMAL HEADROOM TO CONTROL SELECTION OF COMPUTING POWER SETTING OF PROCESSOR-BASED SYSTEM AND RELATED MACHINE READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

A thermal protection method includes: determining a thermal headroom based on a difference between a current temperature and a predetermined threshold temperature; determining a power budget based on the thermal headroom; and utilizing a processor-based system to employ a target computing power setting according to at least the power budget, wherein selection of the target computing power setting is constrained by the power budget to ensure that the target computing power setting does not make the current temperature exceed the predetermined threshold temperature when employed by the processor-based system.
