Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.
This is generally known as Thermal Throttling in the case of reduction of clock speeds, or Thermal Shutdown in the case of a complete shutdown of the device or system. Cooling may be designed to reduce the ambient temperature within the case of a computer, such as by exhausting hot air, or to cool a single component or small area (spot cooling).
The selection of a heat sink may end up with overheating (and CPU reduced performances) or overcooling (oversized, expensive heat sink), depending if one chooses a too high or a too low case temperature Tc (respectively with a too low or too high ambient temperature Ta), or if the CPU operates with different computational loads.
Wisconsin cities recorded nearly 60-degree swings in temperatures within 24 hours from Tuesday's balmy weather and Wednesday's chilly return to winter, tying a record for at least one city and ...
Here's the Wisconsin record for the coldest day in the state's history, according to the National Weather Service: What is the coldest day in Wisconsin's history?
Components of a GPU. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.
For example, Nvidia Tesla C2050 GPU computing processors perform around 515 gigaFLOPS [52] in double precision calculations, and the AMD FireStream 9270 peaks at 240 gigaFLOPS. [ 53 ] In November 2011, it was announced that Japan had achieved 10.51 petaFLOPS with its K computer . [ 54 ]
