Thermal Test Data

Every test behind Thermal Characterization of Cargt SOMs, one row per test, including repeats, 4-hour soaks and the burn-in. The same data is available as a spreadsheet: all test results (CSV).

How the tests ran

  • Each test first lets the SOM settle at idle, then runs one load at fixed settings (CPU governor and frequency cap, GPU frequency cap).

  • A test ends when the die temperature is steady: the mean of the last minute is within 0.3 °C of the mean five minutes earlier (0.15 °C for the enclosure, application and NPU tests, because enclosure air warms slowly). A test runs at least 20 minutes (40 minutes in an enclosure). Soaks run 4 hours and the burn-in 9 hours regardless.

  • Temperatures are means over the last five minutes of the load. The die temperature is the higher of the SoC’s die sensors.

  • ΔT is the die temperature minus the room air. Max ambient is the SOM’s design limit (10 °C below its throttle point) minus ΔT. A test that throttled has no max ambient.

  • CPU MHz is the mean CPU frequency over the last five minutes; CPU / GPU busy are the mean CPU and GPU load over the whole load period.

  • Performance is the throughput of the load itself: stress-ng operations per second (CPU and memory), glmark2 frames per second (GPU), the UI and video frame rates, and NPU inferences per second.
