Thermal Throttling
A mechanism by which a chip automatically lowers its operating frequency to control heat when temperature approaches a safety threshold. It is a standard protective strategy on mobile devices, and the timing and magnitude of throttling determine sustained performance.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The system supports resumable execution and thermal throttling mechanisms, enabling training to continue as a background task and adapting to long-running scenarios on mobile phones.
Thermal throttling is a mechanism by which a chip automatically lowers its operating frequency to control heat when its temperature approaches a safety threshold, and is a standard protective strategy for mobile devices.
Modern GPUs under sustained load trigger clock throttling (thermal throttling) when temperature or power reaches its limit, and do not run at a fixed frequency the whole time.
Throughput differs by a few percentage points across same-model GPU instances in the cloud because different thermal environments cause thermal throttling to trigger at different times and depths.
