Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques for detecting active and semi-active workloads during execution on a platform processing device and enabling a duty cycle process to reduce thermal output and power consumption, and align unaligned activity. In various embodiments, the duty cycle processing may be enabled during an active workload when thermal output or power consumption is above a thermal threshold or power consumption threshold that is below an efficient operating point for the platform processing device. The duty cycle processing may also be enabled during semi-active workloads when the workload causes the platform processing device to be underutilized and unaligned. The duty cycle processing may comprise enabling a forced idle period for the platform processing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
