There are a bunch of cpu, gpu, soc1 XXX-throttle-alert cooling state: 1 -> 0 and 0 -> 1

I am using a custom carrier board with Orin NX 16G.
When doing the jetson_benchmarks，there are a bunch of

XXX-throttle-alert cooling state: 1 -> 0
XXX-throttle-alert cooling state: 0 -> 1

The XXX are include soc1, cpu and gpu.
And the jetson_benchmarks score are lower than expected.

Does this bunch of XXX-throttle-alert cooling state alert affect the performance and is this normal?

Hi,

Throttling is expected to happen on complicated tasks.
The score listed on our webpage is tested with JetPack 5.1.1.

Which JetPack version do you use?

Thanks.

4

I am using JetPack 5.1.3 with L4T 35.5.

5

What could possibly cause this problem?

6

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks
Hi,

Are you able to setup the JetPack 5.1.1 environment to align the profiling environment?
Thanks.
