Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for managing power in a thermal couple aware system includes determining a candidate configuration mapping based upon one or more criteria, the candidate configuration mapping being a mapping of performance for a candidate configuration of processor sockets in the thermal couple aware system. The candidate configuration mapping is evaluated by comparing the candidate configuration mapping to a stored configuration. If the evaluated candidate configuration mapping provides a better metric than the stored configuration, the stored configuration is updated with the evaluated candidate configuration mapping, and programming instructions are executed in accordance with the candidate configuration mapping if no other configuration mappings are to be determined.
