Hi
The gpu is working in a high temperature environment for a period of time, performance is degraded, and there are commands to prevent performance degradation

Thankyou

The hardware is protecting itself. You’ll need to add better cooling.

linuxdev is correct. This behavior is documented in the Jetson TX2 Thermal Design Guide. Please consult this document to improve the cooling per your environmental requirements, and reference the following sections in particular regarding the thermal throttling that you are experiencing:

  • Table 2-1 Jetson TX2 Thermal Specifications
  • 4.3 TEGRA X2 RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURE LIMIT
  • 4.4 TEGRA X2 HARDWARE THERMAL THROTTLING
