Abstract

A power profile library includes a plurality of power profiles with each power profile having a plurality of maximum clock speeds for respective processors. The maximum clock speeds of each power profile are selected to limit a maximum amount of heat per unit time generated by the processors in combination. A developer computer system selects sections of an eventual application for a consumer device and a target intent for each section. A power profile lookup uses the target intents to determine a power profile for each section.
