Abstract

Embodiments are directed to capturing and storing historical data regarding thermal remediations, to predicting and acting on remediation futures and to communicating with applications regarding thermal remediations implemented on the computer system. In one scenario, a computer system determines which thermal remediations are currently being implemented on a monitored computing device. The thermal remediations are based on the monitored computing device's current operating environment including the physical thermal environment and/or the current software execution environment. The computer system further tracks thermal remediation levels for those thermal remediations that are currently being implemented on the monitored computing device, the thermal remediation levels indicating the degree to which each thermal remediation is implemented. The computer system also filters the tracked thermal remediation levels for tracked thermal remediation information that includes information regarding the computing device's current operating environment, and stores the filtered thermal remediation levels in a data store.
