Mesa support aside- if I start a computationally intensive job on the

Jetson TX2, could this be a thermal problem?
Yes, I suppose this could be a thermal problem. Or it could be something
else entirely. We do support CPU frequency scaling on Tegra X2, so what
you could do is keep the Denver CPUs enabled, but set the powersave CPU
frequency governor. That way it should use all the CPUs but at a lower
clock rate, which should also be able to avoid any thermal issues. This
could help determine whether or not the problem is thermal or something
else.
Also adding Mikko on Cc who wrote the Tegra186 driver, maybe he's aware
of any issues.
I haven't seen any issues myself, though I haven't stressed the CPU too
heavily. We also have a thermal driver for Tegra186, so we could set up
thermal throttling with a device tree change.
