Abstract
Embodiments generally relate to thermal management in a multi-node computing device. The present technology discloses techniques that can receive multiple control signals from multiple computing nodes, each of the control signals being associated with a fan duty request, which is a request for a fan duty needed to keep a related computing node operating within a predetermined temperature range. The logic controller can rank the received control signals and select a control signal that requests a highest fan duty; lastly, the logic controller can cause multiple cooling fans to operate at the selected highest fan duty.
