Core Boost tab

Core Boost tab 1:

Core

Contains the ID of the computer core.

Configured Frequency Range

Configured clock frequency of the computer core. The possible clock frequency range of a computer core is displayed for non-real-time kernels.

Current Frequency

Current clock frequency of the core

Current/ Max Core Temperature (Limit X°C)

Current and maximum measured temperature of the computer core. The maximum permissible temperature is shown in brackets in the column description.

Package Power Consumption (Limit X Watts)

Power consumption per package: The maximum consumption is shown in brackets in the column description. The individual lines of the computer cores each contain the total consumption of the package.

Core Throttling

Indicates when the clock frequency is reduced by violating the temperature or current consumption limit value. If the value falls below the respective limit value again, the clock frequency is increased.

Core Boost tab 2:

Exceeding the limit values for temperature and current consumption

The limit values for the permissible temperature or the permissible current consumption are shown in brackets in the column description. These limit values are platform-dependent and can therefore differ between different target systems. If these limit values are exceeded, throttling begins. A distinction is made between the two boundary crossings. If the current consumption of the package is exceeded, an attempt is first made to reduce the computing power of the non-real-time kernels to bring it back below the limit value. If this is not sufficient, the computing power on the real-time kernels is reduced. If, on the other hand, the temperature on a real-time kernel is exceeded, the clock frequency of precisely this kernel is reduced. If the current value falls below the limit value again, the kernels are regulated back to the configured clock frequencies.
