Will the Jetson AGX optimization function increase the temperature of the GPU?

Hi

I have heard that some AI GPU boards have a function that automatically optimizes GPU (neural network) calculations with hardware features and stores parameters in internal non-volatile memory.

my questions are:
Does Jetson AGX Orin have such a function?
Could this be one of the reasons for the GPU temperature increase?
If so, is there a way to initialize the parameters stored in the non-volatile memory?

I previously posted a question about rising GPU temperatures here .
I am still investigating.

AGX Orin GPUs now exceed 99°C and start Thermal Throttling.

Test conditions:
Device: Jetson AGX Orin 64GB
Jetson power mode: MAXN
Carrier board: AverMedia D315
Heat sink: Advanced Thermal Solutions, ATS-NVP-3275-C3-R0
Cooling: Air cooling, 1.6m/sec
Load Conditions: CPU 100% (stress -c12), GPU 100% (gpu burn)
Monitoring: Jetson Power GUI

Thank you for your support.

Hi,

On Jetson, we recommended TensorRT for neural network optimization.

Usually, optimization reduces some non-necessary bottlenecks (ex, memory copy) to allow high GPU occupancy.
Since GPU in a much higher loading, the power consumption is expected to increase.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am testing the cooling performance of the device, using the stress command for the CPU and gpu-burn for the GPU, always keeping it at 100% load. Therefore, I am not interested in optimizing, but rather in maintaining a stable maximum load.

I am currently experiencing problems with the GPU temperature rising. I have not changed any of the test conditions or software settings, so I wondered if there was an unintended optimization function in the hardware, and so I asked the question.

Are there any implicit hardware optimizations like the ones I mentioned in my post?

Thank you.

Hi,

Please find the document below for some info:

Hi,

Thank you for the information.

Does TensorRT automatically save optimized parameters to the hardware?
