With the advance of process technology, the power density of chipsets has rapidly increased, which has resulted in thermal issues. Modern mobile devices use a thermal management model (TMM) to solve such thermal issues. In this paper, we propose an adaptive proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) controller based on mobile CPU system characteristics. In the proposed method, we dynamically adjust the PID constants according to the thermal characteristics. We evaluate thermal mitigation capability and performance using a commercial smartphone. The results show that our scheme decreases the overall system temperature by 5.13% and simultaneously improves the system performance by 5.51%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
