Abstract
Embodiments herein describe coupling traditional fan and shaper control along with aggregated knowledge of the temperature history of a hardware device to optimally manage the temperature of the hardware device to preserve its expected life while also providing the lower power, best performing solution possible. In one embodiment, a cooling application manages the expected life by trading off performance and power versus temperature to achieve a desired (or accepted) lifetime. In one embodiment, the cooling application calculates a historical temperature value for the hardware device which is then used to determine the expected life of the hardware device.
