Abstract
Aspects relate to mechanisms for providing a power aware thermal mitigation framework for a system-on-chip (SoC) of a device (e.g., a mobile device). A thermal controller of the SoC is configured to calculate a respective power of each of a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs) on the SoC at run time. The ECUs may include, for example, central processing units (CPUs), graphic processing units (GPUs), neural signal processors (NSPs), etc. In response to a skin temperature of the device exceeding a threshold (e.g., a thermal limit of the device), the thermal controller may then be configured to apply at least one thermal mitigation action to at least one ECU of the plurality of ECUs based on the respective power of each of the ECUs.
