Researchers have developed a new Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) scheduler designed to prevent thermal throttling in passively cooled edge devices running deep neural networks. This scheduler utilizes time-domain guards and absolute temperature bounds to manage heat, outperforming a temperature-only baseline by achieving a higher frame rate with lower energy consumption per frame. While active cooling still offers superior throughput, the proposed method demonstrates that mechanical cooling can be made unnecessary for sustained edge inference within a specific operating envelope.
