ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,608,230, issued on April 21, was assigned to Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Preemptively cooling of processing unit compute elements" was invented by Karthik Rao (Austin, Texas), Shomit N. Das (Austin, Texas) and Manish Arora (Santa Clara, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A processing unit preemptively cools selected compute units prior to initiating execution of a wavefront at the selected compute units. A scheduler of the processing unit identifies that a wavefront is to be executed at a selected subset of compute units of the processing unit. In response, the processing unit's temperature control subsystem a...
