Abstract
In an example method, a system accesses sensor data representing a temperature of one or more computer chips of a computer system configured to perform a cryptographic operation, and determines that the temperature has exceeded a threshold temperature. In response, the system dynamically adjusts a target computing performance of the one or more computer chips. Dynamically adjusting the target computing performance includes decreasing the target computing performance of the one or more computer chips by a first level; subsequent to decreasing the target computing performance of the one or more computer chips by the first level, determining that the temperature is less than the threshold temperature; and responsive to determining that the temperature is less than the threshold temperature, incrementally increasing the target computing performance of the one or more computer chips by a second level, where the first level is greater than the second level.
