ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for managing operations of a circuit, including apparatus for computing a cumulative thermal load caused by instructions to be executed by the circuit, apparatus for determining whether the cumulative thermal load exceeds a thermal range of the circuit, and apparatus, coupled to the apparatus for determining, for reducing the cumulative thermal load of the circuit prior to execution of the instructions determined to cause the thermal range to be exceeded. In addition, a method for managing operations of a circuit, including the steps of computing a cumulative thermal load caused by instructions to be executed by the circuit, determining whether the cumulative thermal load exceeds a thermal range of the circuit, and reducing, subsequent to the step of determining, the cumulative thermal load of the circuit prior to execution of the instructions determined to cause the thermal range to be exceeded.
