    Abstract: A thermal controller for managing thermal energy of a multi-core processor is provided. The cores include a first core processing a load and remaining cores. The thermal controller is configured to determine that a temperature of the first core is greater than a first threshold, determine a temperature of a second core of the remaining cores in response to determining that the temperature of the first core is greater than the first threshold, and determine whether the temperature of the second core is greater than or less than a second threshold. The thermal controller is configured to transfer at least a portion of the load of the first core to the second core in response to determining that the temperature of the first core is greater than the first threshold and based on whether the temperature of the second core is greater than or less than the second threshold.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for performance management are provided. The apparatus may be an electronic device. The electronic device detects a change of form factor mode or ambient wind using a detection circuit or at least one sensor. The change of form factor mode may include at least one of folding the electronic device, unfolding the electronic device, rolling the electronic device, changing a flexible shape of the electronic device, or equipping a cover on the electronic device. A set of thermal control parameters may be determined based on the detected change. The set of thermal control parameters may be retrieved from a lookup table or calculated using a mathematical model. The electronic device adjusts the performance based on the set of thermal control parameters.
