Abstract:
1. A data processing system with thermal control comprising: a plurality of data processors comprising a plurality of data detectors and at least one data decoder; and a scheduler operable to determine a power consumption of the plurality of data processors and to switch the data processing system from a first mode to a second mode and from the second mode to a third mode, wherein the data processing system consumes less power in the third mode than in the first mode, wherein the second mode prepares the data processing system to enter the third mode, wherein the scheduler is operable to reduce a maximum number of global iterations in the data processing system in the second mode to speed up kick-out of codewords from the at least one data decoder, and to disable and enable data processors in the plurality of data processors, and wherein the scheduler is operable to disable some of the plurality of data detectors in the third mode.
